Why in the world would you go to that much trouble when "Different first
page" already achieves what you want?

Yes. The easier to way to do is to first uncheck "different first page",
and
then use page break/ section break. After having the first number on both
the
cover page and first page, you choose to click enable/ check "different
first
page", so you can remove the number on the cover page and keep the first
number on your first page.
Hopefully, this is clear enough. I did it by using this way.
