Do you have a sample file and/or screenshots? It would help document and
understand your use case better.

I tried to reproduce it: I created a new document with sample text and applied
lists (both, directly and by list styles) and a header. I did "Select All" and
tested both "Clear Direct Formatting" and "Clear Formatting" from the "Apply
Styles" dropdown [*]. The result was: lists and headers were kept
appropriately. So I could not reproduce in LibO 5.1.3.1 on Debian Sid.

Maybe the "not using the right way" is getting in between? Can you point us to
a sample problematic guide?

[*] "Clear Direct Formatting" does what it says: it clears just direct
formatting (direct paragraph, character, etc.). OTOH, "Clear Formatting" from
the dropdown will clear all direct formatting *and* set character styles to
Default and paragraph styles to Text Body.

I am also of the idea that "Clear Direct [__styletype__] Formatting" should
exist somewhere.
