Structure row index numbering

[texnixe]

Why do you need the index at all if it is supposed to change?

Structur fieleds prefilled and readonly fields

The default content is only created in the beginning, when there is not other content yet. It is not possible by default to add a continuous number to a new entry. You can do two things: Create a custom structure field that adds the number on clicking the add button Add the continuous number on saving using a hook.

Edit: Maybe you could use the snippet field instead of the structure field, then make the index a readonly field that only displays a number via a snippet without actually storing anything (just an idea, haven’t tested this).
