Include parent (master) page assignments in styles
When designing a book, every time I make a substantial amount of edits or add photos, it shifts all pages after it through smart reflow (which is great); HOWEVER, once the edits are done, part of my proofreading workflow is to then to manually. reassign CO master pages to chapter openings, "blank" to any blank verso pages preceding them, and Text to the pages that were shifted to the blank- and CO-assigned pages.
This happens EVERY TIME I make edits, and adds a SUBSTANTIAL amount of time to my workflow--unnecessarily, I believe.
I put this request on the InDesign forum…

Print Blank Pages
Please, please, please make Print Blank Pages on by default. I tire of explaining to my boss why the pages ARE NOT out of order and then have to reprint to prove they are correct. I try to check each document when I print, but it doesn't always happen. Having it on by default would be so much better.

Delete unused
In several menu's 'Select unused [...]' can be found.
I think everyone uses this to get rid of unused Swatches, Styles etc.Why not add 'Delete unused [...] to the menu?

Document resizing without layout adjust
For me, the "feature" Adjust layout is always seemingly active when I change the document size, even though I have turned it off (or rather, never turned it on); my content elements move around on the screen when I change the document size. Which has always annoyed me.
However, today I found an explanation, at least in part. It's only the elements that are placed outside the document area, on the pasteboard, that jump around. And they do so in relation to the pasteboard. Anything placed on the document area, wholly or in part, stays where it should be.
So,…

Multi-Lingual data handling
This is a suggestion for a new feature for people using InDesign for multilingual purposes.
In India, we may need to use 3 languages at the same time, for example, in addition to English, we may need to use the national language Hindi and the regional language Malayalam, Tamil or some other language. In other countries, sometimes even more.
When we try to make changes to a paragraph or chapter using different fonts in different languages, we often have to select and change even one letter to change the font in each language. This greatly reduces the joy of using…

Auto size headshots in frames based on a "key object" frame
Similar to how Photoshop has facial recognition, a lot of the time in my job I have to place many headshots in a grid of frames, etc. and they're not all the same resolution, crop or size. It would be awesome to have a feature that lets you select all of the frames with face photos, then click one of the frames like setting the "key object" and then InDesign will size the headshot images within the rest of the frames to match the cropping of the "key object" so everything looks consistent.

Request for Enhanced Document Merging and Pagination Features in InDesign
We require a streamlined method to merge multiple InDesign documents into a single file. Additionally, whether working on books, magazines, or brochures, we need a tool that can adjust pagination according to the sequence and allow the insertion of PDF files between pages.
Furthermore, the current Book feature is completely inadequate. It often disrupts styles and damages documents, making it unreliable for professional workflows. We need a more intuitive solution that provides a clear, sequential view of all pages individually, just as they appear in order. This would allow for seamless page management and better control over complex projects.

Composite object styles, is it possible to lock the style of an object?
Sometimes it's necessary to apply a style A to the caption, another style B to the image, then combine them and apply a style C. That's what I'm thinking of with composite object styles.
Here it is required to lock the A and B object styles, so that C can not affect the A and B.
This is just an idea, hopefully one day it will be discovered and created.
Also expect the graphic wrap around to one day work for the text above the anchor point.

Screen bug when using an external monitor with a laptop (Mac thing?)
When I have a file open, and the laptop sleeps or I close the lid, when I come back, the file is half way down the attached/big screen, instead of where I left it (full screen), it's only a little thing, but it's so annoying!! Please leave the files where I put them on the screen!

Please stop ID files flying back open from the dock (Mac)
When I've minimised an ID file in the dock (on the Mac), work on something else and then close it, the minimised file flies back open. Or minimising a file, then opening something else, the minimised doc opens up again and comes to the front. Please make any minimised doc stay there, until I call it back. I know it's there, I put it there for a reason.

Make cells split over 2 pages like they do in Word
Please Make cells split over 2 pages like they do in Word. We publish very large books that are updated all the time, having to manually cut cells at every page is an unimaginably heavy work load! And it is wasted work. It has to be redone every edition!

Folder coloring in styles (paragraph, character, table)
It would be nice if InDesign had the ability to colorize paragraph, table, character style folders like Photoshop has in layers.

Custom organization of links panel
Options within Links Panel to sort links not by name/page/location folder, but into custom folders or priority. Allow users to place links at the top that are changed or edited more frequently. Current issue is job requires me to change multiple logo files spread throughout document quickly. If multiple instances are grouped, sorting by layer does not work and layer will also sort by layer name and not top layer. Letting users set priority status to links or create & name custom folders within the links panel can help find things quickly.
