AEM Guides footer chapter/page number questions

Question

I am trying to get our page numbering set up to look like the following in AEM Guides (
(version 2022.5.144):
 
1-1, 2-1, 3-1, where the first number is the chapter number and the number after the hyphen is the page number of the chapter. I also need the page number to restart from "1" with each chapter. How do I do this?
 
This is what my footer currently looks like. The page number is the top number. I am using the "Insert Field" function to insert the "Page Number" system variable.
