Description

Copy paste bullet from word document and when trying to add nested bullet, editor is just changing bullet style on same level but not nesting, when regular tab is pressed. Ideally it should create the nested bullet list when tab is pressed.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the RoosterJS editor by pasting the attached clipboardData.7.json content from Word, creating a bullet, and pressing Tab on the next item. Trace the list-handling entry point reached by Tab and verify that the result is a nested bullet list rather than a style change at the same level.
