In theory you can save chapter numbering styling to your personal 
settings and use it in several documents. In the "Chapter Numbering" 
dialog you should have a drop-down button "Format" with a "Save As". if 
you choose a name, that name should be listed later on in a new document 
and you get that settings in the new document. It seems, that renaming 
is broken currently. So when you replace "Untitled 1" with "My Chapter", 
you will not see "My Chapter" in the list, but still "Untitled 1". But 
when you then select "Untitled 1" you will get the previous saved styling.

Using a document template should work. It has the advantage, that you 
can later on edit the template to propagate changes to all documents, 
that are based on it. Remember, that you need to add the template via 
Template Manager, otherwise the document does not remember, from which 
template is was generated.

Kind regards
