Hello,

All options included in phpdocx are fully tested and working. As the previous post (https://www.phpdocx.com/en/forum/default/topic/2020) that's behaviour is from MS Word, list override works in that way, some properties (such as start value) are inherited and they can't be overwritten. You need to set start as 1 in the main list style to set the level override start as 1, if you set it to 2 then level overrides start from 2. You can check this behaviour using MS Word too if you open the DOCX output and try to edit it.

From your code:

// set the start value of the first level of the list:

$joOpt[0]['start'] = 1;

// set the start value of the second level of the list:

$joOpt[1]['start'] = 2;

So as you are setting 2 as start in the second level, then items in that level start from 2, you can't overwritte it in the level override properties. Level override works in this way, to start 2nd level from 1 you need to set that value:

$joOpt[1]['start'] = 1;

Regards.
