Listnum vs Autonumlgl

A

ASRitchie

Is there anyway to default Listnum to act in the same way as Autonumlgl in
respect to automatically changing levels with respect to the preceding
heading. i.e. if a level 2 header is inserted above a level 2 listnum I
would like the listnum to automatically change to level 3.

(I find the listnum field is more consistent than the autonumlgl field, but
having to update every field when the level changes is a pain)

The autonumlgl help explains how this field works:

"The numbers reflect the heading levels that correspond to the heading
styles. If you insert an AUTONUMLGL field in paragraphs of body text
(paragraphs not formatted with built-in heading styles), the number of the
preceding heading is included in the paragraph number. For example, if the
preceding heading is numbered 1.2.3, paragraphs of body text are numbered
1.2.3.1, 1.2.3.2, 1.2.3.3, and so on."
