If you are iterating over the Collection of Notes, you can use the Loop Variable (iteration property) to get an index.

@foreach ($client->clientNotes as $clientNote)
    Note N-{{ $loop->iteration }}
	// ... etc

Otherwise, you will need to share more code/database schema to help us understand your exact use case.

Solved with If you are using blade, the laravel's automatically generated $loop variable might help. Like this:

  Note N- {{$loop->iteration}}

depends if the note number is just cosmetic or if the user will use the notes number in some way

Also, what happens if notes are deleted, do notes keep the original number?
