Dialog box for Edit Table of Contents Style should be resizable
The Dialog box for Edit Table of Contents Style should be resizable.
The Other Styles area displays only 4 styles at a time. That's difficult to work with when document has a large number of Styles
Also, it would be helpful if typing a letter when inside the Other Styles area caused a jump in the list to the first style starting with that character

With a specific paragraph style character style page, automatically apply a specific home page?
With a specific paragraph style character style page, automatically apply a specific home page?
For example, in the start page, we only need to display "Chapter 1" and "Chapter 2". We chose to apply the "None" home page. Now it's manual. It's a lot of trouble.
These pages are not the same as the home pages of the front and back page applications.
I think it's more convenient to apply a specific home page to pages with certain paragraph style or character style.
Maybe you can use the chapter to judge the application of a special home page, which is…

Allow online document checking for all documents at the discretion of the user
Often a document gets 'slightly' corrupted. It still works, but you will get warnings about errors that cannot be solved (out of date cross references for instance) and InDesign crashes on a regular basis. But InDesign itself doesn't recognise the document as problematic. It would be nice to send such a document to Adobe's servers for a repair.

Please add InDesign as a supported Creative Cloud file type
I was very excited to learn more about CC files and libraries during Max. I wanted to start implementing CC files to take advantage of versions and file sharing. It's very disappointing to learn that InDesign isn't currently a program that's supported for CC file saving. Please add it.

More text formatting controls needed in Buttons & Forms Text Field)
Why are there so few controls for text formatting within the PDF Options panel of the Buttons and Forms panel (e.g. centering text within a Text Field, leading, kerning, Vertical and Horizontal Scaling etc.) than are available in the main InDesign application? Importance: the lack of text control when creating interactive pdf forms in the Buttons and Forms panel means that when text is added to a text fields, the result is a very unprofessional looking result when users type responses into the form.

Open other file formats in InDesign
I love how I can create my publications amazingly with InDesign, but I really need to edit other files on devices.
I have PUB files that I created when I was using Publisher 2019 back then, but I can't seem to open them with InDesign. Being the industry standard in desktop publishing, I can't believe that I cannot edit other files.
I hope this gets added.
Sincerely,

CC Library Paste in Place option
When using CC libraries, it would be very useful to be able to 'paste in place' an element into the layout. For magazine design I have many elements that I need to be able to paste in the location on the page, gutter photo credits, folios, etc. This was an option in a regular library but not in CC.

Enable color palette folders to move from the bottom of the swatches list
I want to be able to move the palette folder I'm working from to the top of the swatches list. If I have a document that has several colors, I have to scroll to the bottom to find the folder with my template colors.

Customisable colours for composition highlights
I’d like to change the colours used to highlight custom tracking, H&J violations, substituted fonts etc. Some of the default colours are not very accessible, or stand out more than needed.

Visual indicator RGB print document - large format inkjet printing AND easier creation of RGB doc
Making it easier to have an RGB file for printing to a large format inkjet?

Current option for creating a document is for presswork --
Have to change the transparency blend space to RGB to take advantage of the larger color space available with the extra inks there.MAYBE
The top bar that is above the document frame (has the home button in the corner) Can that be a different color to indicate if you are in a CMYK or RGB blend space?You already know the color issues if…

When doing Edit –> Edit With, any associated endnotes story should open along with the story targeted for editing
This would be valuable because using this pathway, Edit -> Edit With, is a great workflow component for those like me who like to use InCopy for general editing of text; but because endnote text is in a different story to endnote reference markers, anyone using such a workflow cannot add endnotes to the text without switching back to InDesign.

Can we get Tab Order in a bigger window please? Or at least one that can expand.
Setting the Tab Order is very tedious but being in that tiny window makes it a real pain at times. Especially when you're creating interactive forms with literally hundreds of boxes.

Turn off Touchscreen Workspace permanently! Or allow Users to!
Can Adobe PLEASE stop making the Touch workspace compulsory every time the app launches. Not all users want this. We didn't ask Adobe to turn off our usual interface and replace it with a Touch version.
When we have to go through the mandatory 'hey look at this new example - now click get started' EVERY TIME just to get into the app, only to have to then turn it off by choosing "essentials" (top right) again EVERY TIME we launch the app, it becomes a major pain.
Who on earth at Adobe throught this would be a good idea?…

drag and drop .indd file into book panel
Whenever I add the .indd document to the book panel, I need to add each file via finder. At this time, if the target files are located in several different folders, I have to do several iterations. drag and drop features will reduce this repetitive work.

Rename “Master Pages” to “Parent Pages”
The quote below is from the 30 Aug 2020 Washington Post. My request is to stop using the word “master” in InDesign and change to “parent/child” or another set of neutral terms.
“After the police killing of George Floyd, overdue conversations about race started happening.... Computer- and photography-related groups discussed doing away with problematic technical terms like “master” and “*****” that have long been used to refer to components that control others.“
EDIT: The asterisks in the WaPo quote were put in place by the forum interface, not by me. IMHO, this confirms my point.
