Feature Request: Fix output (and input) RE: bullets and numbering, to preserve when pasting

ChatGPT outputs in bullets and numbered lists, but when you copy that output and try to paste it elsewhere, the bullets and numbers are gone. It’s like the bullets/numbering is only part of the visualization of the output and not the output text itself. This is very frustrating, and I wish the output formatting was preserved when copying and pasting.

Similarly (though less importantly), when I paste a bulleted list or bolding into the chat input, all that formatting is stripped away in the chat. I kind of understand why, but it makes it difficult to work with (for one example, if I paste into the chat but want to adjust a bolded variable before submitting to chat). Not to make comparisons, but Claude preserves formatting with input and output very nicely.

I’m really surprised this isn’t more upvoted or commented on. This is incredibly annoying that this happens.
