Word Action Output duplicate HTML

I really like to new “Word” action, however, when the word document is generated, the “Numbers/ list” and “Bullet-points” are always duplicated.

I would appreciate if anyone can fix this, or have a work around

Hi @sean_pope,

If you clone the action and look into the code you can change how you want the lists to be displayed. You can for example remove the "• "

I tried that, but most times it breaks the code i get an error, or when i just delete it, it removes all the text which are shown under the bullet point section of the output, I cannot delete the one for the numbers because it just breaks it,

Can you assist with modifying the code please, im not an expert on the code aspect of things.

I was hoping that the default “Word Action” does not have this bug, because everyone will be facing the same problem by default

To get this output you can change the ul ol part of the code as follows:

elif element.name == "ul":
            for li in element.find_all("li"):
                text = li.get_text(strip=True)
                if not text.startswith("•"):  # Avoid adding extra bullets
                    doc.add_paragraph(text, style="List Bullet")
                else:
                    doc.add_paragraph(text)  # If it's already formatted, just add it
        elif element.name == "ol":
            for i, li in enumerate(element.find_all("li"), start=1):
                text = li.get_text(strip=True)
                if not text.lstrip().startswith(f"{i}."):  # Avoid extra numbering
                    doc.add_paragraph(text, style="List Number")
                else:
                    doc.add_paragraph(text)  # If it's already formatted, just add it
