I admit I'm a newbie with LyX, but this seems like such a simple
operation. I read that LyX is especially good with lists, numbered,
itemized, etc. Well, I need that in a table. I want one column of my
table to contain the number of that row. For example,

      +------+------+
      | item | head |
      +------+------+
      |   1  | text |
      +------+------+
      |   2  | text |
      +------+------+
      |   3  | text |
      +------+------+

The numbers should automatically update if I add or delete a row in the
table. I am astounded that I can't easily find a way to do this with
LyX. What am I missing?

I presume you need the lines in the table, or else there is no reason why you couldn't just use an enumerated list, which would do what you want. But inside of a table, I don't know how to do that.
