\noindent Set up a list in a series \ldots
\begin{enumerate}[series=xyz,nosep,listparindent=1em,
                  label=\arabic*\textsuperscript{*}]
  \item A first item.
  \item An item with two paragraphs.                 \par
      This is the second paragraph with indentation.
\end{enumerate}
\ldots and a list outside the series:
\begin{enumerate} \item Different formatting\end{enumerate}
\ldots Now resume the series:
\begin{enumerate}[resume*=xyz,listparindent=3em]
  \item Formatting is restored.                      \par
    Do you see the updated \texttt{listparindent}?
\end{enumerate}
More text after the list.
