XSD How to generate sequence/record number in a unbounded field?

I have an XSD with a field called "customer" that is minOccurs=0 and maxOccurs=unbounded. Is there a way to attach a sequence number to that customer entry automatically?

Ideally the generated XML would look like:

<customerupdate>
<customer record="1">
<fname>albert</fname>
</customer>
<customer record="2">
<fname>david</fname>
</customer>
</customerupdate>

You can't generate these values with an XSD processor, that's not its job. But it's very easy to do with XSLT.

you cannot do what you want.

You can only define a default or fixed value for attributes, but only static values can be assigned to default/fixed

Examples of default/fixed
