unordered lists (bullet points) in table cells not properly formated (neither rovo, nor rovo studio)

Hi guys,

did anybody of you have already manage to format unordered lists with rovo or rovo studio agents, so that they are recognized by confluence properly without further post-processing.

Let's take a very easy example - in ROVO chat in sidebar with a page opened (just view, not edit) I want to create a summary of the most important aspects of the confluence page in tabular format, with the summary as text and the most important details as bullet points.

The prompt would look somewhat like that:

please create a summary of the most important content points on the page in tabular format as follows:
- columns ‘overview’ and ‘details’
- in column ‘overview’ place a summary of the content point
- in column ‘details’ place the most important detailed aspects for the summary point formatted as unordered list

The result SHOULD look like that:

summarysummary
 this is a summary point
  • detailed item 1
  • detailed item 2
  • detailed item 3
this is another summary point
  • detailed item 5
  • detailed item 6

But no matter what I try, it does not get the unordered list / bullet point formatted properly.

It looks either like the following (just the first detail item recognized, the rest not)

 summary details
 this is a summary point
  • detailed item 1
    - detailed item 2
    - detailed item 3
this is another summary point...

or just the characters, no actual list detection and formating then when taken to confluence (no matter if - or * is used as separator)

 summary details
 this is a summary point

* detailed item 1
* detailed item 2
* detailed item 3

I think, there must be a solution for that, to prompt a propper formatting?

I can correct that afterwards, but only with inline editing - so page in edit mode, text and table selected and then prompt something like: ```Fix the unordered list in the table - it is not properly recognized and formatted``` - but I want to be able to use similar formatting in agents which are placed in automations.

It would be a pitty, if I could not get that to work ;)

The reason in general might be, that there is no clean markdown-syntax for that scenario, so there would have to be something like a combination of markdown and html (with the <br>, but I don't get that to work in rovo and rovo studio with special prompting neither.

| overview | details |
|----------|---------|
| Summary point | * First detail<br>* Second detail<br>* Third detail |
