Hi A-Imam,
Here is one possible solution, if I understand your problem correctly.
As you are using *enumitem* in your preamble, try changing
\setlist[enumerate]{label=\thechapter.\arabic{*},resume}
to
\setlist[enumerate,1]{label=\thechapter.\arabic{*},resume}
\setlist[enumerate,2]{label=(\alph{*}),resume}
Adjust the parenthesis to suit 😀. If you need more than just “(a)”, such
as “1.(a)”, etc., you’ll need to consult the fine enumitem documentation.
According to those enumitem docs, \setlist[enumerate] sets the same
numbering scheme for all levels.
By specifying a level with, for example, \setlist[enumerate*,1*]{...}, you
get to choose how each level gets formatted.
You might also check out the *enumitem* LyX module.
Hope this helps!
Shay
