Footnote numbering options for EPUB export
When exporting a single story into EPUB (2 or 3), the footnotes are numbered from 1 to x over all xhtml files with no chance to control their numbering. The footnote numbering options from within InDesign (per page, per section, etc.) should be respected while exporting.
Alternatively there should be some appropriate options in the export panel.

Footnote numbers will restart in each chapter of your ePub if you first break the text threads between chapters in InDesign

Did anyone find a solution for this numbering problem?
It appears not yet fixed in InDesign 2022 (17.3). -

I have a similar problem.
I have a single indd-document containing a book with 300+ footnotes in it. I have set the footnote numbering to "Restart numbering at every --> Section".
But when I export the document to an EPUB file, InDesign does not heed this setting but keep running the numbering up to "348".
I suspect this is a bug in inDesign 2020 (15.0.1), but I place a comment here in Feature Requests as I was asked to do so by Adobe Support.
