Can not get Outliner to work INSIDE of canvas cards

First, search the help docs and this forum. Maybe your question has been answered! The debugging steps can help, too. Still stuck? Delete this line and proceed.

What I’m trying to do

I’m trying to create bullet outlines inside a canvas card with proper vertical lines, indentation for sublevels, and links to other notes. It will create a bullet point but it breaks after EVERY key. The bullet points do not continue onto the next line. Also, I can’t use to indent a level, it just breaks to a new line.

The outline function works just fine in normal MD files. This is only happening inside Canvas cards.

Things I have tried

I did copy and paste an outline with embedded links from another plain md file. The formatting was properly maintained with the vertical indention lines, subsections, and links. I tried to see if I could continue off this list after pasting it into a canvas card; it just broke again as before.

I am using the community plugins: Outliner and Advanced Canvas.

i used the workaround same as you without outliner

Have you tried it without those plugins?

I have no issues writing nested bullet lists in a Canvas card. It works fine, including Tab to indent/outdent bullets.

EDIT: Moving lines up and down with keyboard also works without any additional plugin. I have manually defined these hotkeys in Obsidian:
