Hi,

I want to make an automatic numbering to a certain shape. I know how to do this in Affinity, but not how i can achieve this in inDesign. I tried a few things with numbering, but this looks to affect only the numbering in the same textbox. When a new circle with textnumbering is duplicated, it starts at 1 again.

Thanks for your answer! I forgot to mention that I use this numbered circles in my masters. But when I use this masters in my pages, it will restart the numbering at 1 every time.
