paragraph alignment
Paragraph alignment is not displaying correctly when it is used on tables created in previous files, even though you are in a new or an old document. The only way to do it is by using cell insets on the properties tab. So it makes it useless unless you create new tables with new formats. It would be great to fix this bug so the alignments are displayed in the paragraph alignment tab, and make cell insets a new tab so I can see specifically this option on the main windows.

Preflight: option to check document text only (not in linked graphics)
Hi, I would appreciate to be able to determine whether or not the Preflight profile marks errors found in linked graphic files, rather than in the document itself. (For example, when a linked graphics file uses fonts that are flagged as 'not allowed', it might still be reproduced well while the same error is likely to be important when it occurs in a text included in the .INDD file itself.).
I'm mainly thinking of text-related errors like invalid or missing fonts. For controlling this, the current TEXT options could just be duplicated into "Document Text" and "Text in linked graphics".…1 vote -
Please expand "Save As" filename box
Why is the "Save As" box so small? I work with long filenames and having to scroll horizontally to append them every time I save a file is a pain.

Share for Review - "I'm done" and "approved" buttons would be very helpful.
Share for Review - "I'm done" and "approved" buttons would be very helpful. Setting a deadline for review as well as a nudge reviewers option would also be very helpful

Svg clipping mask not applied
Svg clipping masks are not applied to svg files linked in indesign. This makes it impossible for me to create an svg and import it to indesign.
I have attached the original version created in inkscape as well as the imported version in indesign.

Add a Variable Fonts Option to Classification
I'd like to be able to filter all loaded variable fonts in the type menu – similar to other properties like x-height and weight.

Share for Review - support languages
We need support in other languages for instance - Chinese and India languages, possibly more.
I have colleagues globally that we use this feature so they can review translations. When they type in comments, it is only in English. I have no way of testing this but they did send this screenshot (attached). Any workarounds?

Live preview when transforming elements
In Illustrator, I am used to having a constant preview when moving and transforming objects instead of just overlays and boxes. Please integrate this too in InDesign as this is a de-facto standard in any modern graphics tool. It makes doing adjustments so much easier.

More responsive UX on macOS
Many macOS users will agree that InDesign feels veery laggy compared to other apps (like Affinity Publisher for example). I really wish you could finally implement a more responsive UI with native macOS UI components instead of scroll views that scroll like it's 1999! :)
Adobe XD is a really good example of what I mean by "responsive" UX on macOS. I understand that XD is much younger than InDesign, but if you don't want to miss out on the next generation of graphic designers, you should really do something about it.P.S.: I can't speak for the Windows people.…

In Windows, holding shift while scrolling scrolls horizontally and holding ctrl while scrolling zooms in / out.
I would like to be able to the same behavior in InDesign so I do not have to consciously change how I navigate documents when using adobe products

Inline Anchored Graphics
Inline anchored graphics should have a "release" in the menu that is not grayed-out. Custom anchored graphics have this, but inline does not. This should be remedied.

Share for review user interface change to the same as shared online PDFs
Really like the Share for Review feature however the interface differs slightly to exporting to pdf and sharing an online pdf. Having explored both ways to get client feedback on designs, although as the designer I prefer Share for Review (the ability to update the link with latest changes and being able to review comments direct in InDesign through the 'Review' tab), the clients find the interface on the online shared pdf easier and clearer to use and less buggy. Could InDesigns Share for Review have the same interface/features as the online shared PDF interface.

Object layer to InDesign layer
It would be great to be able to place contents from different object layers in supported image files to different Indesign layers.
I have a request from one of my printing suppliers that wants all black text to be on the same InDesign layer but currently this is not possible as the imported image, a keyline can only exist on one layer at the time. The keyline both contains a keyline frame in cyan and a keyline reference to be printed in black1 vote -
Have a character style option to lock to baseline grid / unlock from baseline grid
I typeset books and leading often have to adjust leading to accommodate page breaks, especially across a spread, so it is important to have this flexibility. I use alternative paragraph styles as a workaround, but this is clunky and time-consuming. Vertical justification doesn't always give the best result.

Create native paths from imported vector
Convert (simple) imported Illustrator files to native InDesign paths.
This makes it easy to e.g. convert a logo and make the InDesign document independent of an external graphic.
(See how After Effects has a function 'Create Shapes from Vector Layer'. https://helpx.adobe.com/nl/after-effects/how-to/convert-illustrator-layers-to-shape-layers.html)

An Unlock All option
I think the Unlock All option in illustrator should also be available in InDesign in the Object Tab

Thanks!

Let me export page ranges to separate PDFs
I typed in page ranges to export (i.e. 1-2, 3-4, 5-6) and was just stuck with each page in a separate PDF. Was surprised that exporting page ranges to separate PDFs was not already functional using this method.

Please add back Pantone colors. We are paying for it through subscription!
We, (Us designers and print brokers), all pay for a monthly subscription to the creative suite. Its a shame that Adobe cannot come to some sort of agreement to use the STANDARD of color based over the decades. Maybe if Adobe carried a basic set and then, if users wanted the entire pantone library, they could have it as a separate subscription add on. Just Saying.
