<pre>I'll try to explain the use case better:
As I said in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=134364#c2">comment #2</a> it is similar to
<a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/4331/how-can-i-have-a-custom-numbered-field/">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/4331/how-can-i-have-a-custom-numbered-field/</a>
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.</pre>
