Formatting series number nicely - Page 2

I thought the question was more about "why not generate the actual numbers vs a formatter".

Ahh, that makes sense, in which case your answer is the right one. Once the script is run the only reason to rerun it is that the series number "sizes" for a series have changed sufficiently to require changing the template.

Aaah - I did suggest I may have missed the point, in this case the presence and need to run a python script.

My thought was: given the series index is a float (real), maybe there could be an option to specify precision and width. But on reflection I guess it's not as simple as that, because different series would 'demand' different precisions... at least.
