Parametric style.
Parametric style. What does it mean? In the description of the style, we have an additional field "Depends on", in which we indicate the Name of the selected Template. Now the same style will get different settings on different pages. For example, the alignment of the text in the block on the left pages will be on the left edge, and on the right - on the right.
If the brochure has different sections, the same style of headings and subheadings can have different colors. Example: the "cheese" section has yellow headings, and the "cherry" section has red headings. And…2 votes -
A much-needed feature is the ability to style a text frame in a thread.
A much-needed feature is the ability to style a text frame in a thread, so that the text flows between frames and takes on the style from the frame in which it is at the moment.

Please create an option in Layout > Table of Contents to "Clear Character Styles" for the "Styles in Table of Contents."
Currently (v19.5 in 2024), any Paragraph Styles used in the "Styles in Table of Contents" carry over any associated Character Styles, which makes a real mess of the ToC Entries. We can manually reapply the ToC style to the entries after updating the ToC, but there should be an option to automatically clear character styles from the Paragraph Styles added to the ToC.

Style Description or Memo Field
When working with complex documents, it would be helpful to have a free text field for each paragraph and character style. I imagine using this field to describe how and when to use each style in the document. In many professional settings, this is usually done in a separate style guide document but that requires separate programs and windows to be open, where as this would allow the information to be presented and referenced as close as possible to where it is needed. In cases where a style guide exists, the field could be a page or paragraph reference back…

Copy and paste text formatting and shape style using keyboard shortcuts instead of the $%#!! eyedropper
The eyerdropper is a slow solution. Indesign should allow us to copy and paste text formatting and shape style using keyboard shortcuts instead. You select the frame (text/shape), press SHIFT+OPT+C to copy the formatting and then use SHIP+OPT+V to paste it. Much, much faster....

heat transfer printing
Heat transfer printing is a method of decorating surfaces such as fabric or ceramics with designs by using heat and pressure. Such designs are often printed first on special transfer paper which is then applied onto the material to be decorated. This heat adheres this particular design to the upper surface, which makes the finishing look very attractive and long lasting. This is widely used for personalized clothing and giveaways.

Would like to add: Automatically set the value of paragraph leading according to different situations.
Would like to add: Automatically set the value of paragraph leading according to different situations.
For example, A and B paragraph styles.
By default, B has paragraph margins set. But there are some cases where it doesn't need paragraph breaks.
For example, when there is A paragraph style in front of it, because A itself has paragraph spacing, the two together will be spaced very far apart.
The way I'm dealing with it now: create a new ‘B-none’ with no paragraph leading. But it's a lot of work and trouble.If you can add the option to set when B meets…

Free time
I’ve been interested in online gaming for a while, so I decided to try out some online casinos. I was looking for one that offered good bonuses and wasn’t too complicated to start with. That’s when I came across https://luckyowl.biz/. The site looked simple and easy to use, plus they had great bonus deals like free spins and deposit matches for new players. The promotions kept coming even after I signed up, which was nice because it didn’t feel like a one-time thing. It’s a fun site that’s easy to use and rewarding.

Make break line possible to numbering
When creating a numbered list, I would be able to force a break line after the numbering, as we are able to put tab or spacings

Variables with long definitions to wrap to next line
Currently, variables do not break across lines. I have documents with tables and variables. If the variable has a long definition, I have to shrink the font to get the text to fit in the cell when it could easily wrap to the next line. FrameMaker's variables have this capability. InDesign should be able to do the same. PLEASE!

Add cell style setting fort column width and row height
We periodically update our older catalogs with newer styles and much of the content is to provide dimensions for parts. Most of the time they have not had a style applied to them. This would be the same as the option already provided when a cell is selected. Being able to select a group of cells and applying a style with column and row height would be helpful.
Its actually the only item that isn't included from the cell options every other option is already available.

字取り機能の改善リクエスト (improvement to "jidori" feature request)
日本語版独自の「字取り」機能で設定できるのは「文字数」に限られているため、不便な場面が多いです。
文字数以外の設定はテキストフレーム/フレームグリッドに関わらずフレームグリッド設定に依存します。これを知らずに「字取り」を使いこなせていないユーザーも多いです。添付画像 1 に示したのは、私が不便だと感じたケースの全てです。そして（ ）の中には私の仕事での主な使い道です。
本文とはサイズの異なる文字（見出し段落に字取りを用いる場合が多い）
字間の広げられたフレームでの挙動（おまけ）
ストーリー内に配置された、文字サイズの異なる表（一般に表の文字サイズは本文より小さい場合が多い）私はこれらの問題を、アンカー付きオブジェクトを挿入、
あるいは「字取り」を用いずに、
ホワイトスペースを挿入、トラッキングで調節、文字前後のアキ設定
などで代用しています。
つまり、とても不便なのです。今回、代案を考えてみました。なかなかの時間をかけました。
皆さんの賛同が欲しいです。添付画像 2 は文字パネルのスクリーンショットです。
従来のグラフィカルなコントロールを廃止し、フライアウトメニューに格納することで、より詳細な設定を可能にすることを提案します。
これは「縦中横」や「割注」、あるいは「下線」や「打ち消し線」と同様に扱うこととします。添付画像 3 は設定ダイアログのアイディアです。
まず先頭に、他の機能と同じようなチェックボックス。
これで「字取り」をオン/オフします。
次に、ラジオボタンで
1 文字サイズ、字数、字間 の３要素で設定、
2 字取りの幅（縦組み時は高さ）をダイレクトに設定
を選択します。いかがでしょうか。
少しの難点は、下位バージョンのアプリと互換性が全くないことです。
しかし、いいと思いませんか？––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
in poor englishjidori feature improvement request
The "Jidori" function unique to the Japanese version can only be set to "character count," which is inconvenient in many situations.
Settings other than the number of characters depend on the frame grid settings regardless of the text frame/frame grid. Many users are unaware of this and are not able to use the "Jidori" function well.…

sort styles alphabetically with optional case sensitivity
Allow the option to toggle case sensitivity on/off when sorting styles alphabetically, so that one can use case sensitivy to namespace styles.
For documents with a long list of styles, I namespace them so that styles used accross the document are sorted first, then those specific to a section, then those specific to an element of a section, like so:
_body
INTRO _body
INTRO BOX _bodyI name sections and subsections in upper case to easily distinguish, but it actually is the prefix "_" that gets sorting to lay the hierarchy.
It would be nice to just resort on case…

Add option to "Find this style" just like "Find this colour"!
I would be great to have the ability to find a style (Paragraph, Character or Object) straight form the panels (Ctrl + click on a style) to quickly find obscure and unused styles without having to open the Find/Change panel.
This option is already available to find a colour in a document and it is very useful, so it would only be logical to do the same for styles, no?
It would be especially appreciated when one takes over a project that’s already been started... with styles galore!

Paragraph Styles & Character Styles sort by color/label
It would be great to be able to color-label a specific paragraph style from the paragraph styles panel. It helps visually when working with lots of paragraph styles. Also, this applies to character styles as well. Perhaps even the groups within the paragraph styles panel could be color-labeled. This feature is already in Photoshop and even Premiere Pro has a color-label feature so for all of us working in InDesign it is a critical feature.

Create (H) Header and (P) Paragraph style on same line to produce a TOC and 508 Accessible document (Run-in Running variable))
Create (H) Header and (P) Paragraph style on same line that will pickup the styles when I produce the TOC and make the document accessible.
I understand this can be done in FrameMaker.
If a programmer can make it happen in FrameMaker, they should be able to make it work in InDesign.
Thank You, Linda

Paragraph Shading should have the option to rotate a gradient swatch
It is very important to allow the user to rotate the gradient in paragraph shading. I am sure it is child's play for you developers.
Thanks.

Swap Dropper
Instead of simply using the eye dropper tool to copy the style from one item to another, it would be cool if there was an option to swap the styles between the two items.
