: InDesign - Changing the number type of the previous level in a multi-level list? I'm trying to create a multi-level list in InDesign (CC 2017) which goes as follows: PART I Heading

I'm trying to create a multi-level list in InDesign (CC 2017) which goes as follows:

PART I Heading
1.1 Subheading
1.2 Subheading
PART II Heading
2.1 Subheading
2.2 Subheading


My problem is that I can't find any way to change the number style of the level-one list items when referenced in by the level-two list items, so what appears is:

PART I Heading
I.1 Subheading
I.2 Subheading
PART II Heading
II.1 Subheading
II.2 Subheading


This doesn't look great. I've looked around for a solution but haven't turned up anything helpful. I'm guessing this is impossible and I need to either settle for "PART 1", "PART 2" level-one headings, or manually create the "PART I", "PART II" headings outside of the list, but I'd love for you to correct me on that point.

Here's the style panes:





Thanks!

I don't have time to test it right now, but what if you created a new level 2 list with the standard numeral format (not Roman numerals)? Then make your current level 2 list a level 3 list, using the level 2 numbers instead of the roman numerals.

You won't ever really see the level 2 list in your document, but you should be able to use it to format your level 3 numbers.

Again, I don't have time to test to see if this works, but try it out and let me know.
