Bullet list not starting with Option-8

I am trying to make a bullet list on pages for my notes by using Option-8 -> Space -> (whatever I need to type), then pressing return to type the next bullet point, but the bullet does not show up in the next line (it just starts the new line). It only works sometimes. Any help?

MacBook Air, macOS 13.0

If you look in Pages Settings/Preferences : Auto-Correction panel, there is a selection for Automatically detecting lists. When you have selected that option, then your option+8 list will work as you expect.

Thank you for the reply. I checked if I had that setting checked off, and I already did. I turned that setting off and on again to see if that changed anything, but still the list detection only works half of the time. It is weird because I would do Option+8->Space->(what I need to type)->Return and the list would not be detected, but then I would retype the Option+8->Space at the beginning of the line again, THEN it would work, but it is really inconvenient.
