The [@#] syntax has to come after the list item and before the item's
text.  The following was created using Alt+Enter on each line, and
typing the content, the numbers automatically recalculate when you
create the next entry with Alt+Enter.

#+begin_src org
  1. Test item 1
  3. [@3] Item 3
  4.
  10. [@10] Item 10
  11.
#+end_src
