OK, I read up on this :-)

If at the beginning of chapter 2 you have

:figure-caption: Figure 2.

Does the reference in chapter 1 turn out correct?  I rather suspect it will still show Figure 1.10.  If that is the case, perhaps all you can do is around each figure reference have

:chapter: 2
<<chap2.adoc#the-figure>>
:chapter: 1

I think I recall Dan making a comment that some way of handling situations like this better is needed…. I didn’t understand at the time why :-)

Hope this helps and that someone else has a better solution.

I am not specifying the caption in the listing or figure itself. I have a preamble to the chapter where the captions are defined using these flags.

:figure-caption: Figure {chapter}.
:listing-caption: Listing {chapter}.
:table-caption: Table {chapter}.
