Thanks! I did this but still no effect ;/

What am I doing wrong ?

```
(add-hook 'org-shiftmetaleft-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (interactive)
	    (let* ((element (org-element-at-point))
		   (list-parent (org-element-lineage element '(item plain-list) t)))
	      (when (and list-parent
			 (= (line-beginning-position)
			    (org-element-property :post-affiliated element)))
		(call-interactively
		 (if (org-element-lineage list-parent '(item)) ;not at top level
		     #'org-outdent-item-tree
		   #'org-ctrl-c-star))
		t))))
```
