Is it possible to get access/change the prefix or suffix in a list?

[Vincent Régnier]

I'm looking for a way to access through script to the prefix or suffix of a list in a google doc.

I didn't find any relevant information in apps script guides and I doubt it's possible. Can someone confirm?

Do you have a screenshot or example of what you are trying to do?

It doesn't sound that difficult with apps script

Hi, 

Here is what a standard numbered list looks like in google docs:

1. item1

2. item2

3. item3

it can be generated through apps script and you can access/retrieve/modify each item...

Here is a custom numbered list with a prefix:

Prefix 1. item1

Prefix 2. item2

Prefix 3. item3

I didn't find how to generate such a list with apps script, though it is possible through script to insert additional items based on the LIST_ID if the list was manually started through google docs UI.

Apart from creating such a list from scratch, I would also like to be able to loop through all ListItems in a document and retrieve the "Prefix" to compare with some predefined text.  

I have the feeling that this is some kind of unsupported element but I would like to confirm this.

Regards

I think this can be done on the full Google Docs API but not on the Apps Script DocumentApp.
