Improving the various options of footnotes
In one of the latest versions of InDesign, endnotes have undergone a significant upgrade as they have become live endnotes than static endnotes. But unfortunately, the footnotes are left far behind.
We really ask that you rewrite the footnote feature so that the following features are possible:
1) Select all the footnotes at once (by Cmd + A or Ctrl + A)
2) Option to split footnotes into a number of columns is different from the main text (not just span footnotes but complete control over the number of columns)
3) Continuous footnotes in the same paragraph (run-in).
4) Possibility to add any decoration or title to the footnotes (and not just the 'Rule above')
5) Option for a different position of the footnotes on the page, and not just at the bottom (side notes)
6) Possibility to control the footnote settings for each story individually.

My Priority:
1) Continuous footnotes in the same paragraph (run-in).
2) User defined set of callers (like Page Maker had!)
3) More than one footnote class -

Footwork does this job but it would be easier and more comfortable if this feature were in Indesign and we were able to make inline footnotes with one click. We have tried Footwork on the already-designed text to make inline footnotes. While doing footwork messed up a bit our text so we gave up trying. We have not tried making footnotes during our working process yet so if we try we will write later about it.

Really critical for me (point 2). I'm working with academic journals and, yes, footwork seems to do the job, but it's to much expensive…

Currently, you can do almost all of the above (except #5) with a 3rd-party add-on called Footwork: https://www.id-extras.com/products/footwork/

It is very important feature to be added as Bevi Chagnon said: "We need to have several different footnote number schemes in a document, such as 1,2,3 for body text, and *,**,*** for tables and figures — and each must be able to be restarted from "1" for each table or figure".

We need to have several different footnote number schemes in a document, such as 1,2,3 for body text, and *,**,*** for tables and figures — and each must be able to be restarted from "1" for each table or figure.
And we need custom patterns: in STEM documents, many scientists use their own combination of symbols for their references.
