    Description

      Issue Summary

      When pasting multi-level numbered or bullet lists in Confluence New Editor, the formatting is stripped due to Confluence auto-format.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Use Bullet List.docx as an example.

      Paste in New Editor Example

      Paste in Old Editor Example

      Confirmed that a similar behavior occurs when pasting from Pages application instead, but not from other applications, such as Notes on macOS.

      Expected Results

      The original formatting should be retained when pasting into the new editor, much as it does when using Paste and Match Style.

      Actual Results

      Confluence's new editor does not retain the formatting when pasting a list. Appears that this may be due to auto-formatting.

      Workaround

      Paste without formatting, or import as Word document:

      Paste and Match Style

      Import Word Document Old Editor

      Import Word Document New Editor

      Notes

      Paste from Notes application

      Paste Tabbed Lines Instead
