Am I doing anything wrong or is it a bug? Page breaks as part of heading paragraph style can't set page numbering for me. (lemmy.ml)

Basically, title. What I'm trying to do is: have each chapter start with page 1. My chapters are marked as Heading 1 paragraphs. If I change Heading 1 style to «Insert, Pagea break, Before, With default page style, Page number 1», and add a Heading 1 paragraph, it indeed inserts an automatic page break before itself and starts on a new page with default page style, but page number is not set to 1: the numbering continues from previous chapter.

If I do Ctrl+Enter and set the exact same settings to a manual page break, the new page will start from a page number 1. The problem with this is that I would prefer to not do this manually, it is error prone, easy to forget or mess up, and in general I want to set up my styles so that everything is handled automatically without any direct/manual formatting.

Can anyone reproduce this issue?

Nope, what I'm doing is at page 114, «Restarting page numbering». It shows two methods, first is the one I'm trying to use, and second is the one I'm trying to avoid, but it works. Steps in method 1 don't work for me.
