Bullets and numbering - background or box
When applying a character style in the bullets and numbering tab, all characteristics are applied except for underline/strikethrough options. I noticed that this has been mentioned several times over the years but has not been changed as of CC 12.0.0.81.
If this is impossible to fix, is it then perhaps possible to implement an option to add a background to bullets or numbering, similar to the paragraph rule, which allows for offset, indentation etc.

I use InDesign for official government rulemaking documents and executive orders. It is absolutely necessary to have this feature since numbers and text are underlined to denote changes from previous versions. I have to change the numbering to text every single time and that then messes up the accessibility of the document for users, which is legally necessary in my line of work.Same problem here. I work in an Industry where this feature is important but not supported by InDesign. It is frustrating to add it all into a Character Style but it just doens't show.

This is absolutely essential for formatting capabilities, I was astounded at discovering that this was missing in a major software as InDesign

Underline/strikethrough applied to a character style works, but NOT when that character style is applied to numbers in a numbered list via a Paragraph Style's Bullets and Numbering pane.
InDesign 15.0.1

1. Adobe InDesign 14.0.2 x64
2. Create a character style with skew i.e 10%. Create a paragraph style with a numbered list. Apply the character style to the numbered list.
3. skewed numbers
4. does not skew

How it looks in InDesign

### Adobe InDesign version:
InDesign 14.0.2 x64
### Steps to reproduce the issues:
1. Create Character Style with Underline Options (or Strikethrough Options)
2. Set this Character Style as Numbering Style for Paragraph### Expected result:
All styles from my Character Style are respected and used in Numbering Style. Underline Options (or Strikethrough Options) set in Character Style are used in Paragraph Numbering, so I can see underlined number, or I can create fake background color for number with underline offset etc
### Actual result
SOME styles from my Character Style are ignored in Numbering style. Underline Options (or Strikethrough Options) are ignored in Numbering style.
When you set same Character Style directly to some characters in Paragraph it works fine. You use it as Numbering style SOME (Underline Options and Strikethrough Options) styles are ignored.Here is a discussion on this topic on Adobe Forums with suggested workaround: https://forums.adobe.com/message/11159786
