Figure numbering like 1-1 in the 1st chapter and 2-1 in the 2nd chapter

Question

I need to create a document with numbered headings and numbered tables.

The tables in the 1st chapter should be numbered as 1-1, 1-2, etc. The tables in the 2nd chapter should be numbered as 2-1, 2-2, etc. And so on.

To create numbered headings, I have created a "Heading 1" paragraph style and adjusted its numbering as follows:

Then, following an article^† by David Blatner, I have created another paragraph style and adjusted its numbering as follows:

However, it doesn't really work as I want it.

See the screenshot below. The last three tables should be numbered as 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3; not 1-4, 1-5, and 1-6.

What I'm doing wrong? How to make them to be numbered correctly?

Finally, it seems I found a solution.

It was originally posted by Barb Binder on Adobe forums.

Given that there are two levels of headings, the paragraph style used for table captions should be adjusted as follows:

And here is how my heading styles are adjusted, just in case.

Level-1 heading:

Level-2 heading:

Result:

If you have both figures and tables, they will use the same sequence! That is, if you have a table and then a figure, your table will be numbered as 1-1 and figure as 1-2. This is wrong, of course.

To workaround this, just increment values in Level and Number fields:
