Is there a way to automatically increment the numbering of fixtures while patching?

Is there a way to automatically increment the numbering of fixtures by more than +1 while patching?

It is the case that my gaffer likes to number and refer to his fixtures by DMX start address. So when I patch a bunch of multi-parameter fixtures, I go back and and change their numbering (“move”) them so the fixture number matches. But is there a way to do this in the first place? There is a footprint control for the DMX channels of course, but I can’t see an increment setting in the auto numbering.

Not an automatic way but you can add multiple fixtures at the same time with your own fixture IDs:
