How can I continue a numbered list?

Sevval

Hi, I have a problem. Using confluence 6.9.1 - I started a numbered list to add steps in. İnsert a bullet list and would like to continue with the number list rather than starting at one again.

Example:

# Step 1 text here

#Step 2 text here

bullet list here

# this should be step 3 but starting from step 1

How do you solve this problem?

Hi Sevval,

Are you using Confluence Cloud or Confluence Server? I was able to continue a numbered list in my instance of Server:

Good luck!

Hi Jared,

Thank you for your support. I tried now. Done!

Have a nice day.

Suggested solution does not work when I have inserted an image between step 2 and step 3, instead of bullet list. Can you please sugges solution?

Did you find a way around this? I am having this issue too.

I created https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Feature-request-Allow-numbered-lists-to-continue-either-side-of/qaq-p/1810942#M218948 as it wasn't obvious if there was a FR elsewhere (or how to see FR's generally for Confluence). So I am sure someone will tell me if there is one already or if I have asked in the wrong place - Cunningham's law and all that

Here is a less-than-perfect workaround, but it will do in a pinch.

After you create your Info box or what have you with the text that you want, take a cropped, screen capture of it. Go to your numbered list and do a Shift + Enter at the end of the line where you would like to insert your Info box, and paste your screen capture.

Kludgy, but it works. It would be so much better if they offered an option to renumber though.

It might be kludgy, but it's the best work-around I've heard so far. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! That worked! Wow, seriously... can you please just add a RESTART NUMBERING feature????? I've been having to work around this for years. Yet, Google Docs, Word and a ton of other word processing tools have it forEVER.

I used a Table with the option of a Numbered Column.

I got most of the way there by using shift+enter then inserting my images but if you have several indentations it seems to break in a different way:

Not sure if it works on all versions, but what did the trick for me was to use SHIFT+Enter Key on a numbered line. A new line is added without breaking the list
