Hi Shannon thanks for posting! There isn't currently a way to set the start of a numbered list it will always start at 1 even if you delete the current number 1. But if you think that would be a beneficial feature to add to Lucidchart you can promote it to our product team by filling out this form. In the meantime as a workaround I'd recommend manually making a list in a shape then copying/pasting that shape each time you need a new one. This way you can quickly delete the top numbers you don't need and have the list you need. Hope this helps!
