--- Comment #21 from Atticus <douglas.spear at hotmail.com> ---
LibreOffice Version and OS Information is as follows:
- LibreOffice Writer Version: 6.3.6.2
- Build ID: FreeBSD ports 6.3.6
- OS: FreeBSD 12.1; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
- Locale: en-US (C); UI-Language: en-US


Multi-Level List Style [1]
Numbering Style  "Chapter Numbering"
Paragraph Styles "Heading 1" ... "Heading 9"

Multi-Level List Style [2]
Numbering Style  "Example 123"                 ## Customized Style
Paragraph Styles "Example 1" ... "Example 9"   ## Customized Style


Problem [1]

Numbering Style "Chapter Numbering" is edited using Tools-Chapter Numbering
Paragraph Style "Heading <X>" is edited using Paragraph Styles

Numbering Style "Example 123" is edited using List Styles
Paragraph Style "Example <X>" is edited using Paragraph Styles

So even though "Chapter Numbering" and "Example 123" are List Styles each are
edited differently.


Problem [2]

List Style "Chapter Numbering" is not present under List Styles; which segues
into Problem [1]s' approach to editing List Styles "Chapter Numbering" and
"Example 123".  So the ways in which these styles are edited and presented are
neither consistent with nor congruent to each other.


Problem [3]

Applying Paragraph Style "Example 2", which is assigned to Numbering Style
"Example 123" and outline level 2, to my target, does not result in a
corresponding change in that targets' outline level. Here, the observed
behavior does not match the expected behavior. When I apply Paragraph Style
"Example 2", which has been edited and assigned outline level 2, I expect the
target to be changed to outline level 2.


Problem [4]

If I click to the left of "Example <X>" and press "Tab" then there is a change
in the targets' outline level; but that change does not match the styles'
edited and assigned outline level.  Additionally, there is no corresponding
change under the Paragraph Style Menu to indicate the targets' outline level
has been changed. Here, the observed behavior does not match the expected
behavior.

The observed behavior ought to match the results of the activating process for
Paragraph Styles "Heading <X>" and List Style "Chapter Numbering". List Style
"Chapter Numbering" is activated, automatically, when its' corresponding
Paragraph Styles "Heading <X>" is activated. So, at the present moment,
activating each Paragraph style for Multi-Level List [1] and [2] results in
observable behavior that is neither consistent with nor congruent to each
other; when, in fact they ought to be.

For example, when I select Paragraph Style and apply Heading 2 to my target,
then that target changes to Outline Level 2 (Heading 2 is assigned Outline
Level 2). Here, the observed behavior matches the expected behavior. When I
click to the left of "Heading 1", formatted as a Multi-level List, and press
"Tab" then that Heading changes to Level 2 from Level 1, as is expected.
Additionally, there is a corresponding change under the Paragraph Style
indicating the target has been changed to "Heading 2" ("Heading 2" is assigned
Outline Level 2). Here, the observed behavior matches the expected behavior.
However, duly note, the preceding changes visible under Paragraph Styles do not
occur when the corresponding style activation is applied to "Example <X>".


Multi-Level List Style [1]
Numbering Style  "Chapter Numbering"
Paragraph Styles "Heading 1" ... "Heading 9"

Expected Behavior and Observed Behavior Match:

- 1. Heading 1          == Outline Level 1
- 1.1 Heading 2         == Outline Level 2

- 2. Heading 1          == Outline Level 1
- 2.1 Heading 2         == Outline Level 2

Multi-Level List Style [2]
Numbering Style  "Example 123"                 ## Customized Style
Paragraph Styles "Example 1" ... "Example 9"   ## Customized Style

- List Styles -> 
- New ->
 - Tab.Organizer.Name           "Example 123"
 - Tab.Outline.Select           "Numeric with all sublevels"
 - Tab.Position ->              ...Multiple Options Set
 - Tab.Customize ->             ...Multiple Options Set


- Paragraph Styles ->
- New ->
 - Tab.Organizer ->                 Name                "Example 1"
 - Tab.Outline and Numbering ->     Outline level:      "Level 1"
 - Tab.Outline and Numbering ->     Numbering style:    "Example 123"

Paragraph Style "Example <X>" follows the above editing process and to each
corresponding edit, "Example <X>" is assigned Outline level: "Level <X>".

Expected Behavior

- 1. Heading 1      == Outline Level 1
- Example 2         == Outline Level 2
- Example 2         == Outline Level 2

- 1.1 Heading 2     == Outline Level 2
- Example 3         == Outline Level 3
- Example 3         == Outline Level 3

Observed Behavior

- 1. Heading 1      == Outline Level 1
- Example 2         == Outline Level 1
- Example 2         == Outline Level 1

- 1.1 Heading 2     == Outline Level 2
- Example 3         == Outline Level 1
- Example 3         == Outline Level 1
