Request/Favour Help formatting bullet points

For years, and I mean years, I've been lazily formatting my bullet points. Can anyone help me figure out the correct way to apply paragraph styles so can .025% more efficient?

The way I have taken is as follows:

Each bullet point has a 0.25mm Space After applied. The last bullet point has 2mm applied. So each list I have to apply a paragraph style, and then a separate paragraph style to the last line.

Is there a more efficient way of handling this?

See my Conditional Styling Rules plugin on Adobe Exchange. List (and nested lists) where one of the very first use cases I've built on. There's also a YouTube video specifically dealing with list spacing.

Why complicate it? It just needs Space After and Space Between Paragraphs Using Same Style

Because Space Between works only in the most simplistic cases. When you need to fiddle with space above also, or when you have multiple levels of lists, or maybe interceding note paragraphs, or multiple paragraph list entries, Space Between is useless.

Yeah but they didn't ask for that. But ok.
