Copy paste from Dynalist to Obsidian messes up formatting

What I’m trying to do

I’m trying to copy a bullet list from Dynalist into Obsidian, and have it keep the same standard formatting as obsidian already uses.

Things I have tried

To provide the necessary info re copy base.

If I copy this

  • here
    • is
      • a
      • list
    • that
    • i
  • made
    • in
  • dynalist

in dynalist, I get this using Clipboard Test

At the moment, what bugs me is that the indenting of anything I copy in from dynalist has half the spacing on the indentations.

Here is a copy from Obsidian into the Clipboard test

When I copy the first one into Obsidian, and then copy from Obsidian into the clipboard test, I get this
