How to get continuous question numbering across multiple sections?

A ‘question’ is not a native typst element, so we need more information about how you have set this up. Are you using some specific package? Or are you referring to a specific level of headings as a question?

A regular typst counter is independent of sections and does not reset between sections already, so that would be an option here.

Maybe you want a part and chapters structure here, then I would recommend this existing solution, the quoted part is the only part you need, just update the numbering patterns to match your desired “A” and “Q1.1”:

@Andrew

#let chapter-count = counter("chapter counter")
#show heading.where(level: 2): it => chapter-count.step() + it
#set heading(numbering: (..nums) => {
  if nums.pos().len() == 1 {
    numbering("I.", ..nums) // Part
  } else if nums.pos().len() == 2 {
    numbering("1.", chapter-count.get().first() + 1) // Chapter
  } else {
    numbering("1.", ..chapter-count.get(), ..nums.pos().slice(2))
  }
})
