How to easily update creative charts and infographic values made in Adobe Photoshop CS5 or other programs versions. How can all graphical parameters be easily updated, depending on each other? Is there a very practical way to do this?

Specify subheader in addition to header, body (with alternating fills) and footer
I would like the ability to have a sub-header style applied to a table style. I design tables with a title (or header), an area for the column topics (or sub-header), and then a body with alternating fills, and a footer without a fill. It would be great to be able to apply one table style that will incorporate all of those styles. See the included table as an example of what I am trying to do.

BETTER TABLE CONTROL FEATURES!!!!
this!!! Complete overhaul to tables in InDesign !!!!! https://forums.adobe.com/message/10898726
IT IS SO ON THE MONEY and I am sure there are other great suggestions here, but seriously indesign tables are pathetic
right now I am especially vexed by this fact that Joe Jacob writes:
"Why is it that the total width/height of a table cannot be constrained to the size of the bounding box it's in? Why, when the table exceeds these limits, does a column or row just disappear? ""Why am I left just eyeballing it to make sure my table is neat and evenly spaced out? Why…

Table numbering for multipage tables
Need to repeat table numbering on every page of very long tables.
The publisher requires this type of table layout. The last page of the table should begin with the line "End of Table 1.1", all pages, starting from the second and up to the penultimate page should begin with the line "Continuation of Table 1.1". Now we have to do this by inserting an additional text frame on each page with a long table or an additional master page, but in the case of moving tables, we have to spend a lot of extra time

Quick change of tables column width and row height
Please give us the ability to set column width and row height of a table in one step.
Today I only can change one table column after the other if I want different column width. The same is true for table rows if I want different row height as well.
With the script (AutoColumn) from Gerald Singelmann it’s possible to change at least all column width in one step. I didn’t found a script for row height till today.
I attached a video (AutoColumn.mov.zip) where I demo the script and perhaps this explains it a little bit better.

Table borders proxy: add "all"/"none" quick-select control; increase contrast of lines
To speed up formatting table borders, add a control in or near the proxy control (where you click on lines to select or deselect corresponding borders of the selected table region) to enable quickly selecting all of the borders or none of the borders.
Also, increase the contrast between the blue and gray colors used for the proxy lines as it is sometimes hard to tell the difference between them. Currently their values are almost identical (appx 60% black). Suggest lightening up the gray "unselected" color to 25-30% black.

Table Formulas
It would be nice if Tables could handle simple mathematical formulas. Some information changes year to year, and manually updating it gets pretty monotonous.

Problème Table des matières sous InDesign CC 2019
Bonjour.
Sous InDesign CC 2019 il y a un problème pour générer un table des matières avec du texte placé dans un tableau. Cela fonctionnait dans les versions précédentes.

Hyphenation
I'm working on a huge table and as far as I can see, there's no way to select every cell and just turn off hyphenation. For some reason half the options with editing text formatting just aren't available for text in tables. You can turn off hyphenation if you go one cell at a time, but this isn't really feasible all the time.

Unable to now "unmerge" table cells Indesign CC 2019
Hi, when I merge a table cell and then try to unmerge a table cell it is no longer possible. Greyed out in menu and no way of doing it. Would be great if this was fixed urgently.
Cheers
Gia1 voteIn the example shown by you, you’re trying to ‘Unmerge Cells’ of a Single-Row Table after merging these cells in a previous step. This has not been possible in any of the versions of InDesign till now.
This would require a new implementation altogether and would thus fall under a Feature Request category.
We’re moving it to the Feature Requests page.Thanks,

Real table footnotes (different from CC2019)
Since CC2019 the user is able to add footnotes inside a table. Such notes are added at the bottom, of the textbox. This behavior does not fit to many needs of designer how need real table footnotes.
So what is the difference?
Real table footnotes stick to the content of the table.
In this case the note gives some additional information to the table specific content.
Therefore each table should have an own mechanism of numbering that does not mix up with the document footnotes numbering. Additionally the position of table footnotes is most often at the end of the…46 votes -
Placeholder text in a cell or in the entire table
I would like to have the option of placing substitution text in a cell of a table or in a complete table.
If I select a cell I fill this one or if I select the complete table I am able to fill the different cells.
This feature would allow you to set table and / or cell styles in advance and validate parts of a document before production.10 votes -
Table appearances preview
When changing the appearance of a table you have to highlight the table which is in Black. So when you want to preview the changes you cannot see what changes you have made.

Allow alternating row fills AND column fills in table styles
Currently, there is no automatic way to have a table with alternating row fills AND alternating column fills; the table settings will only allow you to set one or the other, and you must manually change the colors of the rows (if you set columns to alternate in the style) or columns (if you set rows to alternate in the style) from there.
It would be nice if we could set BOTH columns and rows to have alternate fills. For example:
You have a table with five columns, ten rows. You tell every other column to be 100% Magenta. You…
