[Tex/LaTex] How to change itemize bullets with specific alphabet

beameritemizelists

I have an itemize bullets in beamer as follow:

\begin{itemize}
    \item Condition 1
    \item Condition 2
    \item Condition 3
\end{itemize}

which produces as you know a list of bullets:

  • Condition 1
  • Condition 2
  • Condition 3

What I want is to replace the bullets by C1, C2 and C3 as the following:

C1 Condition 1

C2 Condition 2

C3 Condition 3

Of course I look for an answer before and based on this one, I did the following:

\begin{itemize}[label=(C)]
    \item Condition 1
    \item Condition 2
    \item Condition 3
\end{itemize}

but I got an error message ! Use of \beamer@parseitem doesn't match its definition.

The way I did it "correctly" is as follow:

\begin{itemize}
    \item[] C1 Condition 1
    \item[] C2 Condition 2
    \item[] C3 Condition 3
\end{itemize}

but it looks ugly to me. Is there any better way?

It sounds like you're looking for the description environment.

\begin{description}
    \item[C1] Condition 1
    \item[C2] Condition 2
    \item[C3] Condition 3
\end{description}

enter image description here

If you have a lot of these or think you might reorder them, it may be easier to modify enumerate's behavior, so that they're numbered automatically.

\begin{enumerate}[\bf C1]
    \item Condition 1
    \item Condition 2
    \item Condition 3
\end{enumerate}

This has the same output.
