You might try the enumitem.module. Search at http://wiki.lyx.org for
"enumitem".
(Actually, the Counter is re-set in LyX as well (but blue to make
sure it is just an internal label), the LaTeX output uses the
"enumitem"
package.)

I have used the enumitem module. However, I wanted to change the
enumeration name ("Task 1" rather than "1"). Also, I wanted to be
able to have enumeration environments in my document and a special
"TaskItem" environment that was globally incremented. The enumitem
module will not quite allow this.
I think that we could benefit from a detailed description of how to
create modules, and what all of the knobs mean. For example, I
struggled with determining how to set a "LabelType" and "LabelString"
in LyX. I never got quite what I wanted: something like "Task 1"
"Task 2" etc. The closest I could get was "Task" or "1" but not a
string and a counter together. The compiled output looks fine, but in
LyX it isn't quite what I would like...
