Obsessive Compulsive Feature - Text averaging for scaled text boxes
When scaling a text box and contents the final type size ends up with sizes with super detailed decimal places; e.g 12.345pt
arrrrgh!!
Don't you realise that many designers are OCD inclined? Whole size text numbers help us feel good. Please don't ask why.
Suggest a scaling preference that allows users to round-off scaled text to nearest desired text increment, e.g nearest whole number or No of decimal places.

Add a Find/Replace function for things like tabs
Received a file with hundreds of useless tabs. Can replace in Word (and should have but didn't see them til I Placed in InDesign) but it would be a nice feature to add.

Anchored illustrations
The layout of anchored Illustrations can NOT be moved around freely on the page it is anchored on. If you try to move the graphic around on the page or next page, the text is obscured or destroyed - the text is under the graphic. If you use the "inline" function the result is the same. The ability to move the "anchored" graphic anyway on the current page, page before it or the next page without the text being effected in any way. The TEXT should re-position itself around the image wherever move it.

Alphabetize document presets for new document
We use many templates for our dies. The dies are identified by die number, and InDesign lists them by creation order when opening the "Saved" tab. Since we have over a thousand dies, putting them in numerical order would really help...

Note field with published files
In our company we create several versions of our brochures made in InDesign, based on the type of client and job. The title for the various versions needs to be identical (Design Brief from XXX) so it's time consuming to identify the correct file for a specific client. If we were able to add notes for ourselves for each file that would be helpful. Ideally these notes would be visible for us on the Publish Online Dashboard, visible right there with each of the titles of the published files.

Option to turn off auto-collapse of layers when switching between documents.
When switching between open indesign documents, the layers collapse automatically. Please give me an option to turn this feature off! If I have opened a layer, I want them to stay open until I have decided to have it otherwise.

Link OS Work Documents
Currently only supports linking to Excel docs for Tables which also loses all table formatting and Header ID. This feature is in need of an update overall and inclusion of the Mac programs would be very helpful.

Please make the reflect tool work the same way as in illustrator!
It works completely opposite of Illustrator which makes it super confusing if you're switching between them (i.e. to do the same transformation, you have to use a horizontal reflection in indesign and a vertical one in illustrator.) A preview like in illustrator would be great too.

File export numbering should be "file01, file02, file03 ... file10", not "file, file2, file3 ... file 10"
Exporting a batch of images from indesign creates a chaotic sequence that other programmes can't order with manual renaming every single time. If I export a batch of images it will name them
file
file2
file3
file4
file5
file6
file7
file8
file9
file10
file11
file12
file13
...But when importing those same images into photoshop (load files as stack) it will order them like:
file
file10
file11
file12
file13
file1
...it makes no sense!!

Bring Photoshop's Dynamic Text Feature to InDesign — Why Is InDesign Behind?
Please bring Photoshop's new Dynamic Text feature to Adobe InDesign!
Dynamic Text automatically adjusts and fits text into different frames and shapes, making typography faster and more flexible.
If Photoshop already has this technology, why in the world is InDesign — Adobe's dedicated professional layout and publishing software — still missing it?
InDesign should be leading the way in typography and text layout, not falling behind Photoshop!
As a graphic designer working on magazine layouts every single week, I constantly need to adjust headlines and text to fit perfectly within specific spaces.
Being able to automatically resize, reflow, and adapt…

Text boxes Inset path with Corner options
For text boxes that use the inset or inverse corner options allow the inset text boundary path to be 90 degree angles rather than dynamically following the shape of the corner. when resizing the text box to fit to the content, the inset path is pushing or indenting the first and last lines of text to the right so the whole paragraph doesn't align. You then have to either make the text box larger (which gives you uneven margins) or break the paragraphs and either adjust the kerning or indenting to make it line up with the rest of the…

Fonts Syncing from Adobe Fonts prevents any other background tasks and NEVER finishes.
It's been half a dozen releases since Adobe Fonts took over syncing everything. It's insane.

Listst: change error message to: entry changed to align with indent
When I use bulleted or numbered lists I regularly are designing the indent/tabstep.
For instance: the first indent is set to 5; the 1st line jump back to 5 and the tab to 5mm.
But I am designing so I want to change the indent to 4; and ID gives me an error saying that a negative jump back is not allowed; I would appreciate if ID changes the second value automatically to the maximum allowed number and notify me of that change in the popup.2 votes -
Stop notifications about new features
Since applying the latest Update there have been notifications about a new AI-Beta-Feature (see attached file). I closed it and hoped that it was a one time thing. However this pops up every time I start InDesign as well as multiple more times while InDesign is running after I already closed the notification after the first time. I would like to be able to disable this after seeing it once.
This is extremely annoying and makes me not want to try out your new features because you're pestering me about it so much.
I can read the changelogs when an…2 votes -
A centralized corporate information library
Create a centralized corporate information library within InDesign where repetitive information can be stored once and reused across documents.
For example, designers could select a team member from the library and automatically pull in their name, title, email, phone number, headshot, etc. If that information changes, InDesign could update it across linked documents.
This would create a single source of truth for frequently used corporate information and eliminate repetitive manual data entry.
