I actually had not noticed the "Chapter Exercises" environment. Looking 
at it now, it is meant for exactly this, but it seems kind of broken. It 
hasn't been touched really since 2003. (The environment is provided by 
the AMS Book document class, at least in LyX's version of it. See 
Settings > Document Class in the example file I sent.) Maybe I'll try to 
fix it for 2.4.

So I was doing things more manually.

The Exercises heading is just a Section*, and I've typed "Exercises" as 
the section title.

For the exercises themselves, I used the Exercise environment that's 
provide by the Theorems (AMS, Numbered by Type within Chapters) module. 
Look under Document > Settings > Modules to see where it came from. (In 
LyX 2.4, the modules will be better organized.)

Note that you can write modules yourself, if you wish, to generate new 
environments of this kind. See Chapter 5 of the Help > Customization 
manual for details. Of just look at the modules themselves (which are in 
your LyX system directory, named whatever.module) to see how they work.
