Variable for dimensions
It would be very useful to have a text variable for dimensions of the page/trimbox/bleedbox or even for objects (along the lines of a caption).

CJK typesetting in InDesign CC
We're often receiving the inputs with Chinesh, Japanese and Korean languages, so we're reinstalling the CC with new language to handle these inputs. So it'll be good to have direct feature in InDesign to handle CJK inputs without re-installation.

Make a real collaboration with InDesign/InCopy via CC
It was hard to see, that InCopy is still using E-Mail to collaborate with editors on another place. I thought it's all in the CC!! For this is a must have: I'm sharing an InDesign-document (or parts of it) save it for my incopy-editor. The editor gets a notification (email or instant) and will open it and makes changes and new content, save it and the designer gets a notification that there is new content from editor xy. He can now accept this and the new content is inside the InDesign-document. Finish.
But ash the moment it's very hard to…8 votes -
Endnote citation order
Looking to expand the scope of endnotes and footnote to include multiple stories in a document so that the citation order follows reference where it falls on the page, not just a single story.

Make the standard fonts within InDesign and other Adobe design softwares ALL the same across both the Mac and PC platforms.
I am a college student studying graphic design. In my classes the school provides Apple Mac computers to do our in class work. However, I own a Windows Surface Laptop. So when I need to finish projects outside of the classroom it is very frustrating to choose a font on the Mac only to have it changed because the font is not available/has to be imported on the Windows PC (vice versa). I understand that the platforms are very different from each other, but it is the same software. How hard can it be for Adobe to make the fonts…

Symbol for automatic hyphen in Find/Change
It would be great, if we could search for words, that are hyphenated automatically at a specific position (I do not mean discretionary hyphens, but those, created automatically from InDesign’s hyphenation module). Therefore a special search character would be useful.

BUG/Feature: Make "Fit Frame to Content" finally work with rotated/skewd content
This is an oversight for…like how many versions?
Try to rotate your image inside your picture box, and use Object » "Fit Frame to Content".
Normally, with no modification with the content, the feature works well. But if theres rotation, geez, its way off!

Make spellcheck apply to paragraph styles
It would be super useful to be able to run spellcheck only on certain paragraph styles. I run a directory that includes hundreds of names that get flagged, and if i I could run spellcheck just on body copy + headline paragraph styles, it would save me hours each month.

Allow Data Merge to use .csv with semicolon separated text
Currently one has to use tab separated text (.txt) or comma separeted text (.csv). When using the .csv-export from Excel, it generates semicolons as separators, which is helpful because there may be a comma inside a table cell. So it would be helpful to use this text directly in InDesign.
This might be an issue only in the German version of Excel/InDesign, but it causes a lot of trouble.8 votesThis feature has been implemented in InDesign 2020. Please use this version of InDesign to use this feature.

Frame / Cell strokes and border-radius more like CSS
As an extension of the idea 'Allow different coloured/weight strokes for sides of a text box' - I would like this to apply to table cells as well.
I use InDesign to do high-fidelity web UI mockups. It would be really nice if there were more options which corresponded directly to CSS.
What we would need is the ability to set a per-object or global equivalent to "box-sizing: border-box", so that stroke weights don't add to the size of a table cell, but always render aligned to the inside.
Secondly, give regular text frames the same editing ability as table…

New utility feature called: "Move Link(s) To...".
It would be great to have another utilities feature called: Move Link(s) To...
Ideally it would function the same as Copy Link(s) To... but instead of copying it would just move the files.
This would allow for a cleaner file setup where you can move all your files from a document into one location without packaging and having the files as duplicates on your computer.

Need to View and Edit Alt Text in InCopy
As an editor I need to be able to preview Alt text for Images and also edit that Alt Text if needed. Currently I need to go to Indesign to do that.

New “Hide Spread/Show Spread” feature: automatic page number adjustment
I was excited to discover the new 'Hide Spread/Show Spread' feature in InDesign. Page numbers on visible spreads don’t adjust automatically when other spreads are hidden in the document. Thus the feature becomes useless for any document that uses page numbers – at least within my workflow.

Better Relinking to CC Libraries
I'd love to see some much needed quality of life/functionality improvements to CC Libraries in InDesign when relinking:
Ability to Search when relinking
Ability to see/sort by groups when relinking
Ability to change view (thumbnail/list) when relinking to CC Libraries
Infact, anything more than the current 'Relink to CC Librarires' functionality, which is literally just a list of every single asset in that library sorted by name
We have thousands of assets in some of our libraries, which are all nicely sorted by group. But this is useless when this is completely ignored by the CC Libraries panel.

Add more (EU) Blank Document Presets like A6, Square
I don't understand why we're still limited to A4, A5 and A3, but other common sizes like A6 and A0 are missing. Same goes for social media sizes. Making our own presets would be a solution if we were able to arrange the preset order. Please add more options and/or make it easier for us to arrange our new document screen.
