It would be easier in some cases to have the ability to restart numbering of footnotes on every page that contain specific paragraph style (for exmaple this one which starts on next or next odd page).
Pages signed as the sections starts are not the text attribute. Every reflowing of text needs to manualy change sections in the document.
Please add the Restart numbering after [here list of paragraph style names].
I agree, I just ran into the same problem. That would be an awesome fix!
