separate-uncertainty with a list and units: cannot remove brackets

[japhir]

I've found this potentially related issue https://github.com/josephwright/siunitx/issues/441 and have read and re-read the manual, but I cannot figure out the following:

How can I print a qtylist without brackets and with a single unit? (i.e., in the mathematically wrong way.)

I want to get: qty: 50 ± 3 m (works as expected) qtyrange: 50 ± 3 m to 300 ± 5 m qtylist: 50 ± 3 m, 300 ± 5 m, and 250 ± 10 m

or even the same without repeating the unit qty: 50 ± 3 m (works as expected) qtyrange: 50 ± 3 to 300 ± 5 m qtylist: 50 ± 3, 300 ± 5, and 250 ± 10 m

(reviewers are asking about this)

I've tried the below, which currently results in:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\sisetup{
  uncertainty-mode=separate,
  separate-uncertainty-units=single,
  multi-part-units=single,
  bracket-unit-denominator=false,
  bracket-negative-numbers=false,
  bracket-ambiguous-numbers=false,
  range-units=single,
  % list-units=single,
  % maybe I do want to repeat the unit for a list?
  list-units=repeat,
}

\begin{document}

\qty{50\pm3}{\metre}.
\qtyrange{50\pm3}{300\pm5}{\metre}.
\qtylist{50\pm3;300\pm5;250\pm10}{\metre}.

\end{document}

50 ± 3 m. (50 ± 3) to (300 ± 5) m. (50 ± 3) m, (300 ± 5) m and (250 ± 10) m.

To get you sorted right now, try

\sisetup{range-open-bracket = , range-close-bracket = ,
  list-open-bracket = , list-close-bracket = }

I'll look at a fix shortly

Hmm it turns out I may not be running the latest version:

I'm on arch linux, running version 2023.66594-20 of the texlive-mathscience meta-package. The file siunitx itself says

You could try

\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_gset:Npn \__siunitx_compound_uncert_bracket:nnw #1#2 #3 \q_nil #4 \q_nil #5 \q_stop
  {
    \bool_lazy_any:nTF
      {
        { ! \l__siunitx_compound_unit_repeat_bool }
        { \tl_if_blank_p:n {#2#3} }
        { ! \tl_if_blank_p:n {#5} }
      }
      { \exp_not:n {#1#2#3#4#5} }
      {
        \exp_not:V \l__siunitx_compound_bracket_open_tl
        \exp_not:n {#1#2#3}
        \exp_not:V \l__siunitx_compound_bracket_close_tl
        \exp_not:n {#4#5}
      }
  }
\ExplSyntaxOff

as an in-place fix

Thanks, this seems like it might fix the range but not the list. EDIT: NEVER MIND, I had to put list-units=single, here too!

Where should I put it? I've tried:

\usepackage{siunitx}
% HERE <- this works
\sisetup{range-open-bracket = , range-close-bracket = ,
  list-open-bracket = , list-close-bracket = ,
  uncertainty-mode=separate,
  separate-uncertainty-units=single,
  multi-part-units=single,
  bracket-ambiguous-numbers=false,
  range-units=single,
  list-units=single,
  forbit-literal-units=true,
  per-mode=symbol,
}

but it always results in warnings such as ! LaTeX Error: The key 'siunitx/list-close-bracket' is unknown and is being ignored. and for my example file:

qty 50 ± 3 m qtyrange 50 ± 3 to 300 ± 5 m qtylist 50 ± 3, 300 ± 5 and 250 ± 10 m

full example

Definitely working when used with the latest siunitx release: all I can suggest is installing the latest code.
