Description david.cortes.rivera 2021-08-27 07:51:51 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
- Write several paragraphs.
- Under the first paragraph, start writing a numbered list with many items.
- Copy the first item (number 1) alongside the line that comes before it, and paste it at the end of the document (assuming there are some paragraphs inbetween the source and where it will be pasted).

Expected behavior:
The pasted text should restart the numeration of the items at 1 in the new numbered list.

Actual behavior:
The numeration continues from the last number of the series of items from where it was copied - e.g. if there were 3 items, will be pasted with number 4.

On the Nr. 4 in the new list click on Toogle Restart Numbering in the Bullets and Numbering Toolbar. Nr. 4 became Nr. 1 in the second list.

Waiting for your results

It does reset when one does that, but having it continue the numeration is very inconvenient and differs from other word processing software. Usually the reason why I do this kind of copy is to take some custom formatting to start a new list, or to re-do an alternative list with some changes and compare it against the previous one.

No. 
Because what's convenient for you may be not for others and there's no way to guess. 
You can restart or paste unformatted. 
NotABug. 

I guess there's a large discussion on all this, if you tried to search before submitting, including closed bugs. 
David, you have 28 bugs, meaning you are an advanced user and reporter, but many are duplicated and WFM meaning you should search more before reporting.
