            Bug ID: 128282
           Summary: restart manually numbering of numbered lists
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: zionoto at gmail.com

I'm experimenting with numbered lists in writer and I noticed that every time I
create a new list separated from a previous one by other text even chapters
away I have to tell writer that it must restart the number from 1. If I don't
click on the button to restart the number from 1 writer continues from the
previous last value of the previous list. I can't find any AUTOMATIC way to
restart the number in a certain style. MS Word has it. If I remember well it is
enough to check an option "Restart numbering after .... style" and set the
style after witch I want word to restart the numbering of my new list. Very
useful feature to prevent the need to indicate manually every time the need to
restart the numbering of a list. I hope that this feature will be implemented
in writer because to have a numbered list that continues its numbering from a
previous one is point less almost everywhere.

Also it is more or less everywhere illogical to have the software that has a
default behavior that keeps the same number from previous lists all along the
document: this behavior is more or less never wanted.

Maybe i can understand that to continue from previous element even if it is far
away, it is useful just in chapters titles / headers to continue the same
numbering or structure from the previous chapter or sub-chapter.

But in lists inserted in normal text the default behavior IMHO must be that
writer restarts the numbering for each new list. The user will decide to click
the button to continue from the previous just where needed.

Please can you check this behavior and change it in future Libreoffice
releases?

Thank you so much for the attention.
