Description Esther Melander 2025-03-06 19:02:02 UTC
It would be nice to have additional variables for serials numbering patterns. Currently it is limited to {X} {Y} {Z}, which will not work for a pattern that looks like this:

v. 44 no. 1 Spring/Summer 2024

The current workaround is to use a pattern that looks like this:

v. {X} no. {Y} {Z} {Year}

Returns

v. 49 no. 2 Spring 2029

Which does work, but requires editing the numbering pattern upon receiving to look like the first example.

Either {Season} needs to be added or extra generic variables that could be used in multiple ways.

This is probably at least a partial duplicate to bug 23350.
Comment 2 Esther Melander 2025-03-07 16:07:12 UTC
Yes, it looks like a duplicate.
