roman numerals in page

Question

Roman numerals in page numbers are required in the front matter of the thesis. But if I write \frontmatter in the ERT then on some pages the page numbers appear in roman numerals while on the others pages they do not. How can roman numerals in as page numbers be limited only in the front matter?

I am using \makecontents to make the contents of the chapter. but its does not include the contents of pages in frontmatter how can that be done?

Answer 1

The 'MWE' by the O.P. does not compile -- due to \chapter etc. commands without arguments.

\begin{frontmatter}...\end{frontmatter} is possible but of no use here.

The main culprit is that \frontmatter has no following \mainmatter command.

There are warnings by scrlayer-scrpage etc. about the headheight etc. I don't address this issues.
