Well, the whole templating is cumbersome and even weird. For example,
I cannot first define a generic type to later inherit defaults from it
because the dialog doesn't show me list details – only paragraph
details. The only provided way to configure list details is to edit the
source type, and that I definetely don't want. I have to define the
generic type, then use it and then open the list dialog and then
configure the list details. However, inheriting from it causes the same
problem for the named type, i.e. I have to use the list to be able to
set the proper name. When I define a second named type, the same
problem appears. But when I change the properties for it, LibreOffice
even changes all lists already existing in the document, no matter what
type they belong to...

I'm pissed by this mess... Go to sleep...
