I've seen the thread on single bullet points here but can't seem to find a way to add a 2nd or any additional levels (i.e. automatic indentation). Is this not a feature? I've tried the standard TAB key, but no luck.

Edit:

One workaround I've found is to use an external true Markdown editor like StackEdit to write the list/bullet points and then just copy and paste to Slack. This seems to work well until Slack decides to integrate Markdown.

According to the documentation you can nest lists by pressing Space four times:

* test
    * test nested
        * test nested nested

...becomes:

Edit: The reply above works when your message formatting preference is set to markup.

If you didn't change your preference the way how to add more indent is to press Tab at the beginning of the indented line:

Additional indentations are not currently supported by Slack. Slack provides a subset of formatting provided by markdown and other standards.

They've actually fixed this now. At least for macs.

Simply start the bullets, press shift + enter to move to the next line and then the tab button indents or shift+tab outdents.
