Bullet list with items longer than one line do not line up with font size greater than 12 - Publisher

[Doozybird]

I am creating linked text frames in Affinity Publisher with a bulleted list of about 600 items. Some bulleted items run longer than one line and once I get above Item 9, the items are no longer even (lined up) on the left. If I use font size 12 it looks okay but I want size 16 and the items don't line up with that large a font. I'm currently using Text Style 'Body' but I have tried several. It may be a spacing issue between the bulleted number and the text that follows but I have tweaked and twiddled quite a bit and have yet to figure it out. I appreciate any help.

This is what I want:

1. Item #10 long line long line
   long line  
2. Item #11 long line long line
   long line

This is what I get once I get up to Item 10 and above:

1.     Item #10 long line long line
   long line
2.    Item #11 long line long line
   long line1

I think the first thing I would suggest is to not have 600 items in a bullet list.
Bullet lists are meant for quick lists of things that you want to bring people’s attention to, e.g. Bang, Bang, Bang, that’s my message.
If you have 600 items in a bullet list then you’re maybe not using them in the way they were intended to be used.

You can get what you want but it might take some manual wrangling of the settings – it’s not obvious what you need to do.
See my attached document for one example – look at the Paragraph Spacing and Bullets and Numbering settings.
Note: The Bullets and Numbering tabstop setting is sometimes changed by the software without warning for some reason I haven’t figured out yet.
