Cancel required color in Character Style Options > Character Color > Tint ...
Allow users to specify a color shade (and other options) without having to select a color. This would make the character style much more versatile; a single character style could be used for paragraph styles with any color, such as bullet points in different colors depending on the brand.

option to start a certain paragraph, for example chapter title, at a specific page
When creating a lay-out file with text for an illustrated book that covers all available pages: it would be nice to tell the title of chapter two, to start at page 13 for example and the title of chapter 3 to start at 21 and so on. In that way you can instantly see how much blank space can be filled with images and you won't have to deal with constantly reflowing of the entire text. Also that way it could possibly be easier to place images on the right pages without having to deal with anchored objects that sometimes…

Fonts Syncing from Adobe Fonts prevents any other background tasks and NEVER finishes.
It's been half a dozen releases since Adobe Fonts took over syncing everything. It's insane.

Can't PNG File on Feature Requests
Speaking of oversights, this is a design program and the feature request forum doesn't allow users to post pngs? What?

"Clear All Alerts" in Background Tasks
The fact that you cannot clear background tasks in bulk by selecting multiple, or clear all is a waste of time and a huge oversight.

Changed .ai with different layers, option ‘apply to all’ in pop-up-window
When I import .ai files and work on them, add layers and afterwards have to update the files I get an error message. And have to hit return any times the file is imported in my ID file.
It would be helpful if I could check 'apply to all' and hit return only once.1 vote -
Option to hide/block blue notifications bar in computer labs
I teach InDesign at the college level in a lab with 24 Macs all running the latest version. These lab computers are managed by the college, yet all students each and every day are suggested to try out the beta build of InDesign with AI assistant. Since these are public, managed computers there is no way for them to try this version out. As an instructor I would love the option to hide/disable these notifications as they literally get in the way of instruction. Thanks for listening!

Listst: change error message to: entry changed to align with indent
When I use bulleted or numbered lists I regularly are designing the indent/tabstep.
For instance: the first indent is set to 5; the 1st line jump back to 5 and the tab to 5mm.
But I am designing so I want to change the indent to 4; and ID gives me an error saying that a negative jump back is not allowed; I would appreciate if ID changes the second value automatically to the maximum allowed number and notify me of that change in the popup.2 votes -
Combine minimized tablets in panelgrid
A number of palettes (like glyphs) ar easy to use as pop-up, do your thing, and close again. It would be nice to be able to minimize palettes like in my simplified mockup screen dump but then also being able to put them in the palletgrid so they become part of all tools..

Stop notifications about new features
Since applying the latest Update there have been notifications about a new AI-Beta-Feature (see attached file). I closed it and hoped that it was a one time thing. However this pops up every time I start InDesign as well as multiple more times while InDesign is running after I already closed the notification after the first time. I would like to be able to disable this after seeing it once.
This is extremely annoying and makes me not want to try out your new features because you're pestering me about it so much.
I can read the changelogs when an…2 votes -
Highlight Text Effect
Maybe this could be an extension of the paragraph shading options, but it'd be great to have a highlight text option that lets you adjust offsets like paragraph shading, except it goes to the end of each line and stops there vs shading the whole paragraph based on the longest line. Similar to the "text background" effect in Canva. That highlighted look is very popular now.
Right now I'm achieving this by either making thick underlines with negative offsets and having to add spaces at the beginning and end of each line, or I have to make separate text boxes…

A centralized corporate information library
Create a centralized corporate information library within InDesign where repetitive information can be stored once and reused across documents.
For example, designers could select a team member from the library and automatically pull in their name, title, email, phone number, headshot, etc. If that information changes, InDesign could update it across linked documents.
This would create a single source of truth for frequently used corporate information and eliminate repetitive manual data entry.

Remove duplicate space
Add a check mark spot to the paragraph format to control space between different styles. So we can remove space from a head to a list or equation. For example if I have a head and immediately a numbered list I will always want the space from the head to be dominate. Have a check box in the head that says dominate space and a check mark in the list that says remove space when following a dominate space.

ajout de fonctionnalité
j'aimerai bien pouvoir copier les effets (FX) dans indesign, comme sur photoshop pour pouvoir appliquer un même effet à d'autres blocs texte ou image. l'utilisation de la pipette nécessite d' avoir à changer sans arrêt les options de celle-ci, ce n'est pas franchement pratique. De plus un document comportant plusieurs pages ils vous faut retrouver la page ou l'effet est appliqué pour l'appliqué sur une autre. Alors que si l'effet était comme dans photoshop on pourrait facilement le copier coller
Autre suggestion lors ce que j'ouvre certain document lourd, je choisis un affichage standard ou rapide plutôt que l'affichage en…

Applications that are not compatible with my Mac Pro do not show older versions
In the Creative Cloud desktop app, I enabled Avatar > Preferences > Apps > Show older apps.
The problem is that my 2012 Mac Pro is incompatible with Photoshop and InDesign because my processor does not support AVX2 instructions.
However, for the applications that can be installed, the "Other versions" option does appear—and in the case of Illustrator, as many as 32 older versions are listed. I don't understand why access to older versions is blocked precisely where it would be most useful: for applications that aren't compatible with my Mac Pro.
It doesn't make sense. Why would I want…

Give back "Continuous Scroll" for the "Share for Review" feature!
When someone accesses an InDesign file via the "Share for Review" feature, it used to let the person do continuous scroll through pages. But for over 2 years, this feature has been REMOVED and wasn't added back in! Give us back continuous scroll! It is pure suffering to try commenting on a 50-page file when you keep getting kicked between pages.

In the Index Window, add a column to show if there is a Number Style Override
In the Index Window, add a column to show if there is a Number Style Override and if yes, what format. It is time consuming to open each entry to confirm setting.

Grouped master-page elements
Could InDesign please fix the long-standing issue with grouped master-page elements? When elements are grouped across left- and right-hand masters, applying just one master can cause elements from the other to appear. Could elements be automatically clipped at the spine so only the selected master’s elements appear on each page?

Please make editing colors and adding swatches available anywhere colors are involved
E.g: in Paragraph Styles / Character Color - make it possible to add a color directly, in stead of having to leave the dialog to do so.
