Snapping priority (ignore objects when in snapping distance from guideline and do not snap to outline)
When both options are active:
- snap to objects
- snap to guidelines.InDesign behaves like schizophrenic making bad choices. And it is impossible to place objects on level.
Also InDesign snaps inner / outer outline of object to the guide, so when you have thin outlines (below one point) you never know to which side of outline object will be snapped and it will always be on different level than object without outline. And it creates mess.
Each time when there is a guide InDesign should snap to it in first place, ignoring the objects, and also object should…

Use Nearest Available Font Weight Instead of "Unavailable" Error
When switching fonts, instead of generating an "unavailable font" error when a font weight doesn't exist, automatically use the closest available weight based on the previous setting.
For example, when switching from a font that has Black to a font that only has Bold or Regular, simply use the closest available weight e.g. Bold, rather than generating the "unavailable" error.1 vote -

【If this function can be realized is too important to Chinese ancient books!】如果能实现这个功能对中国古籍太重要了！
I'm using InDesign 2020 (Chinese). Some of China's ancient books and historical materials are arranged vertically from the left, this function is very important for the collection and imitation of Chinese ancient books! For the program, the implementation of this function should not be too difficult, but in fact not, it is a pity! I really hope that the next version will be available for this feature. It would be great if it could really be done, so thank you! This new version will be the most sold in China!
我使用的是InDesign 2020（中文版）。中国一些古代书籍和历史资料是从左侧竖着排列，这个功能对收集和仿制中文古籍非常重要！对于程序来说，实现此功能应该并不会太难，但实际上并非如此，真可惜！真的非常希望下一个版本将可用这个功能。如果真能实现这功能那真的是太棒了，那就太感谢了！这个新版本将会是在中国有史以来Indesign卖得最多的一次！

Calendar & layout
I have noticed that whenever I try to create a calendar in InDesign there is not a practical way to place the day and month automatically.
For example, the software allowed me to place the number in order form one to 31 but I cannot place the date automatically, like Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and so on.
I wish this indesign engineers can figure out a way you can add Recurring date and month autumnally. Just like the number I know that I can make a master page and the numbers can appear in order I want the software to…1 vote -
Auto convert heavy Ai + Pdf files so InDesign don't die on export...
Working with a lot of designers they often place very complicated and vector heavy patterens in indesign. (Ai+PDF format)
Indesign eats all - no problem.
Then the time comes and indesign need to make a PDF file, and it just dies!
I can now spend hour finding that one or more pattern with a gazillion points...
Why dont indesign say, --- > Hey! Stop! If you place this file you will not be able to make a PDF file, and i will likely crash and burn...
And then InDesign converts the file, on the fly.. And places the new file…

GPU acceleration in Windows PC
Hi! Why does GPU acceleration in InDesign only work on MAC? I have an extremely powerful Windows PC with next-generation Nvidia Quadro video card, and you just forgot about Windows PC users. Can't do like Ilustrator? Can't use GPU processing intelligence in InDesign? I work with huge two- and one-column footnote files with lots of AI and PSD images. But the lack of GPU acceleration is frustrating. Thank you!

A facility to tell what settings are 'inherited' from another style
I think it would be beneficial to be able to quickly identify which properties in a cell style etc. inherit from a parent style.
If you look at my child.png , it is "Based On" parent.png. However, you can't see in the child what settings have been "learned" from the parent. It would be nice if the inherited characteristics appear with a light grey background or a little star or something suitable to distinguish them from the edits that are child-specific.
In my case, how this situation caused minor confusion is that I had "no idea" why the background fill…

Make guides work outside of the page like Illustrator
Self explanatory really - Make guides work outside of the page like Illustrator, so you can lay things out on the pasteboard accurately before you put it on your document.

Import a multipage PDF into existing graphic frames
I need to be able to set up a document with graphic frames, then import a multipage PDF using a script which places each page into each frame. When the script encounters a page not containing a frame, it will miss it out and place into the next available frame.

iXBRL tagging - annual reports - ESEF reporting
New regulations in Europe means that from 2020 all financial reports must be produced with XBRL tagging. InDesign is the single most used layout software for producing annual reports, but will be useless for the purpose without a solution for tagging.
Are you working on a solution to this considerable challenge?
