How can I create a list with a step size different from 1?

I have to type a lot of questions, but only every 4th (4,8,12,...), so I was wondering if I can get Latex to number the items automatically.
I know I can change each item numbering manually, but I'd like the counter to increase by 4s automatically.

I have no idea where to start, a google search just showed the properties I was already familiar with (arabic, add a label, alph), but nothing referring to a step size. It might be called something different, so I don't know which parameter to set (if any).

You can create a new command that does the trick with everything you know about counters ;)

documentclassarticle

newcommandmyitemaddtocounterenumi3item

begindocument
beginenumerate
 myitem One
 myitem Two
 myitem dots
endenumerate
enddocument

You could create a new command with a step size as argument as well:

newcommandmyitem[1]addtocounterenuminumexpr#1-1relaxitem

Or "set a step size" in the beginning:

documentclassarticle

letolditemitem
newcommandmyitem[1]addtocounterenuminumexpr#1-1relaxolditem
newcommandsetenumstep[1]%
 renewcommanditemmyitem#1


begindocument
beginenumerate
 myitem4 One
 myitem4 Two
 myitem4 dots
endenumerate

beginenumerate
 setenumstep4
 item One
 item Two
 item dots
endenumerate
enddocument

These enumerations both result in the same as the first one posted.

Probably you know it already, but might be helpful anyway: If you want to tweak single items, you can do it manually with

item[4.] One
item[8.] Two

setlist[fourenumerate]label = mulfourvalue*.

newrobustcmdmulfour[1]inteval#1 * 4

If you're not concerned about labeling the items, you can use the following setup:

documentclassarticle

usepackageenumitem,etoolbox,xfp

newlistfourenumerateenumerate4
setlist[fourenumerate]label = mulfourvalue*.

newrobustcmdmulfour[1]inteval#1 * 4

begindocument

beginenumerate
 item One
 item Two
 item ldots
endenumerate

beginfourenumerate
 item One

 item ldots
endfourenumerate
