Add additional interactive options to the buttons and forms panel
The buttons and forms panel (used for making interactive form elements for PDF) is missing several options that are available in Acrobat such as:
* insert image button
* insert date button
* insert barcode buttonThere was a request to do this but it was marked FIXED and (in my humble opinion) is far from fixed - https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/20482882-more-options-when-creating-forms-via-indesign

Style mapping.
It would be great to be able to see a tree of styles to easily see which ones are based on which without having to open each style. Picking up a file from a messy designer and tidying up the styles can take hours without this feature.

Shading and Underline conflict
Some underline strokes become invisible when Paragraph Shading is applied.
If removed shading then strokes appear.
That's a bug, shading always must go bottom.
Two screenshots are from Indesign, with and without paragraph shading. The last screenshot is from Acrobat, i've deleted manually gray frames to reveal the hidden strokes.10 votes -
Text selection does not work properly with inline images
Actual result: If you place an inline image in the paragraph and the height of the image is higher than one line of text, the text selection does not work properly: the height of the highlighted area is equal to the height of the inline image (in the attached sample three lines).
Expected result: the highlighted area should only appear around the selected expression, not two lines below it.

Share for Review
I was excited to see the Share for Review feature roll-out in the newest June 2020 update. However, I have already experienced issues.
1. It only exported one page in my document.
2. I 'invited' members, but when they got the link, it prompted them to enter a password (that I never set and don't want to set).I work with a lot of non-technical savvy folks who just need the ability to see my work and comment without the need to log in or create an Adobe ID. Forcing them to do this will alienate users (our clients) and…

Spinning Beachball Details
When we get the dreaded spinning beachball (and Window equivalent), which seems to happen more and more with each new InDesign version, can we get some sort of real-time detailed report?
It'd be helpful to know what's going on in the moment so we can take action if necessary. As it is, we have no idea if InDesign is functioning properly or not, if there's a memory shortage, if there's a font conflict, and on and on.
It seems that the app must "know" what's wrong, to generate the spinning beachball -- so why leave users in the dark? We're…

page numbering
numbering of the pages can be started from a specific number but will remain in Ascending order, could you add option of numbering but in Descending order ?
seems unusual but I am planning to make a book which you can read from both ends. thanks Tom2 votes -
Delete swatch / replace swatch
Please display the swatch that will be deleted on the 'Delete Swatch' dialog box to prevent replacing or deleting the wrong swatch (which is too easily done at the moment).
Thanks

Make possible search-for-tags in Story Editor
I need to search for tags in Story Editor, or in any manner besides the Structure panel, to remove conditions that are arbitrarily applied by InDesign (when a word has a condition applied).

PDF preset that includes a stored password
When making PDFs, I'd like a way to make a preset that includes a stored password. When you have to make many PDFs with security, it's very time consuming to enter the same info over and over.

Allow Articles Pane to scroll to add more items easily
I'm working on a document that has many articles to drag into the articles pane. It's far too easy to accidentally drag a new article into an existing one because you can't scroll up to show enough blank space in the pane. Why is there no slider in the pane so there's enough room to drag new items?

A way to extract font and text styling from an image
There should be way to capture styling information from an image. It will be helpful to find out and use the font and other kind of text styling used in an image.
This way I'll be able to save information from an inspirational image for later use in my design.1 vote -
Add "Blur" Panel (for all Elements like Boxes/Images/Groups) as in XD
There should be an easy and time saving option to blur (0-100%) any elements in InDesign – just like the possibilities in Adobe XD. Especially for creating great web designs this would be a big benefit (more possibilities, less time).

swatches, color, and gradient panels like illustrator
Illustrator has the easiest to use and most powerful swatches, color, and gradient panels. Indesign would be a much better experience if it just used them. Just make them exactly the same.
