TextNote.SetText turns text bold

The OOTB method is probably doing that because they are not using the Formatted Text Option in the API.

OOTB:

DynamoDS/DynamoRevit/blob/e757b2d6ca206a3ec4db0672d9e19a9fd4a548d5/src/Libraries/RevitNodes/Elements/TextNote.cs#L233-L245


/// <summary>
/// Set Text
/// </summary>
/// <param name="value"></param>
public void SetText(string value)
{
    if (value != Text)
    {
        TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(Application.Document.Current.InternalDocument);
        this.InternalTextNote.Text = value;
        TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone();
    }
}

public static global::Revit.Elements.Element ToUpper(global::Revit.Elements.Element textNote)
{
    Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument;
    Autodesk.Revit.DB.TextNote internalNote = (Autodesk.Revit.DB.TextNote)textNote.InternalElement;


    //Get the text from the text box
    //we obtain formatted text and modify the caps instead of the string. Preserves formatting.
    FormattedText formattedText = internalNote.GetFormattedText();
    formattedText.SetAllCapsStatus(true);
    //Change all the text to upper case and reassign to the text box
    //using formatted text allows for the formatting to stay - John
    TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc);
    internalNote.SetFormattedText(formattedText);
    TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone();


    return textNote;
}

I would suggest opening a GitHub issue here and reference this post for them.

Also, without seeing your file or lists, I can guess that maybe your lists are getting jagged and one text note’s property (bold) is carrying over maybe.
