# Why does a formatted numerical list separated by sections (within the same field) have the numbering reset in Ketryx whereas in Jira the list continues?

In Jira, a field can have a formatted numerical list that is separated by different blocks and continue with the numbering like below:

Example header

1. Description
2. Description 2

Example header 2

3. Description 3

However, in Ketryx, this numbering will reset at every new block like below.

Example header

1. Description
2. Description 2

Example header 2

1. Description 3

This is because this is a known [limitation](https://docs.ketryx.com/manuals/man-10-managing-items-in-ketryx#id-5.-item-form-limitations) of Ketryx’s formatting capabilities. A workaround would be to create the numerical list in a non-formatted way.
