How to change starting number on a numbered list?

New Here ,
Jul 23, 2025 Jul 23, 2025

In Illustrator, is there a way to change what number a numbered list starts with? I'd seen a post elsewhere in the forums to look under the settings for bullets/numbers, but when I followed it to the same place in Illustrator, there didn't seem to be an option to change the list start number. I'm working on a file for a client who wants to stay in Illustrator, so I'm hoping to not shift out to a different program if possible.

You may take this if you like dirty tricks (sample .ai file).
