This is the way we planned it to work, and is how most note taking apps will work (just tested Apple Notes to make sure I wasn’t imagining this). If the bullet is nested (indented), the numbers will continue, but in this case, the bullet is a new format at the same level as the numbers, and so it breaks the run. The same is true of any other format (eg body text).
I was a bit surprised to hear this, so I went and tested. If you just set a number list style in Bear, after a different style, it works exactly the same as Agenda and Notes. Ie it will revert to 1.
Bear seems to have the option to type in any number to start a list, so if you wanted to continue at 2, you could type 2. to keep going. Maybe that is what you mean. But the default behavior is to revert to 1.
MS Word I think is the same. By default it will go back to 1., but you can override it. But Word is not really a note taking app, it is a word processor, so it has more powerful editing features (at the cost of ease of use).
Anyway, thanks for the discussion. I learned something.
Yes! There you go! It gives the option i see what you mean. Maybe later in the future you could try something if there are more requests. But thank you for trying it all out for us. You’re right Microsoft is something else entirely.
