How to enforce list numbering in templates?

Hey there, 

I can’t imagine I’m alone in this, but it looks like it’s only been asked once before on the forums over a year ago. 

My use case is for employment documents. I’m looking for a way to create templates in Docusign that align with our clause numbering. This is important because clauses must be referenced by future addendums should anything change. 

Currently, if you build a multi-level list and insert body text between them, there is no way to pick up the numbering or continue numbering. This is a functionality that exists in word document programs, but cannot be configured in Docusign. 

Importing a template with a list configured as we desire results in the list starting over at 1 with each line break. 

Can anyone provide any solutions or recommendations that have worked for you? I’ve opened a support ticket and spent time speaking with support but waiting to hear back.
