Create automatically incremental number increase in documents

Desktop editors

I would like to create a document that looks like the one below. It would automatically increases the number of each question. This would allow me to cut the “number” and paste it below in a new question, and it would automatically increase by 1. Moreover, it would keep track of the documents’ numbers so that when I cut and insert a new question after, say Question 1, the numbers for the subsequent Questions increase automatically. This comes in really handy for certain types of documents.

Question 1:
Do you know how to make an incremental number increase?
Question 2:
Do you know the color of the sky?
… (more of same) …
Question 493:
Do you know why there are butterflies?

Hello @Alexandre
Do you have any updates on this feature? Additionally, is it possible to implement it through my own plugin? If yes, could you provide the code to do it?

hi @ajay :wave:t3:

Let me answer your question.
At the moment, the feature to add AutoNum fields is not implemented.
Unfortunately, I cannot give you news about the timeline for implementing this functionality.
