Hey,

I know that this isn't really answering your question but I think you're better off using for example the script runner to inject a script which is increasing the field value by one as a post-function.

You don't need to update the field in real-time and that's the benefit of the behaviours plugin...

You could also think of the Misc Workflow Extensions Addon:

I know that it's not free anymore but if offers all kinds of useful post-functions such as "increasing the value of a field":
