--- Comment #8 from al F <alf at mellomrommet.no> ---
I'll try to explain the use case better:

As I said in comment #2 it is similar to
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/4331/how-can-i-have-a-custom-numbered-field/

In my case I have very many very short chapters that need headings like

Day 1 - July 30 - Some heading
Day 2 - July 31 - Some other heading
Day 3 - August 1 - Yet another heading

I solved this by using Tools > Chapter Numbering for the Day N part, inserted a
custom numbered field for the date in the first heading (Insert > Fields > More
fields > Variables) and copy / pasted / edited this to each following heading.

I could not find a way to insert a date range, so I settled on a numbering
sequence starting at the desired date. For the next month I had to restart the
numbering manually.

Copy / paste got the job done, but with so many chapters it would make sense to
automate it.

I thought a nice way to do that could be through an ability to insert whichever
field you need in a heading and that the logical place for that would be in the
Chapter Numbering dialog.
