I’ve never seen Glide do this before and I can’t figure out how to manipulate my code to get it to stop: If you look at #9 on the builder, it’s the same as #1 in the Data Editor, but Glide is continuing the numbering on the list that I’ve created. Does anyone have any advice?

Thank you! 🙏

That’s how Markdown works.

This:

```auto
1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
1. Item 1

```

Translates to this (even in this forum):

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
4. Item 1

Notice that your second set is still indented, as if it’s part of item 8.

It’s not something specific to Glide. If you split it into separate rich text components or add two carriage returns with text that isn’t numbered in between each set, it should work. HTML and Markdown are fickle beasts.

Thanks Jeff! You always have the answers 💪 I ended up putting everything inside of a paragraph tag and it fixed itself.
