Continuation of lists across beamer frames

Thank you Paul, I really appreciate your response but this is such a common issue - at least for me- every lecture pack I produce has this problem perhaps every 5 slides so its really driving me round the bend. I just leave the environment behind by default and manually add the next number  but it looks cheap and nasty. Why can’t there be an option to restart previous numbering? I seem to remember that option exists in scientific word so it must be possible to implement this as a very simple click choice? I have been pointed to the ERT route before but this is really a cry to the developers of Lyx. Thanks again Paul.
Cheers,
Mark

Decision making is about predicting counterfactuals

> There may be a more elegant way, but the attached MWE shows a clunky way to continue a numbered list across a frame boundary. It requires creating a new counter (in the document preamble) and using ERT to (a) copy the last item count from the first slide into the new counter, (b) copy it back into the item counter after the first item of the second slide and (c) increment it to account for the first item of the second slide. It also requires that you set the item number for the first item of the second slide manually. So, as I said, it is clunky.
