【If this function can be realized is too important to Chinese ancient books!】如果能实现这个功能对中国古籍太重要了！
I'm using InDesign 2020 (Chinese). Some of China's ancient books and historical materials are arranged vertically from the left, this function is very important for the collection and imitation of Chinese ancient books! For the program, the implementation of this function should not be too difficult, but in fact not, it is a pity! I really hope that the next version will be available for this feature. It would be great if it could really be done, so thank you! This new version will be the most sold in China!
我使用的是InDesign 2020（中文版）。中国一些古代书籍和历史资料是从左侧竖着排列，这个功能对收集和仿制中文古籍非常重要！对于程序来说，实现此功能应该并不会太难，但实际上并非如此，真可惜！真的非常希望下一个版本将可用这个功能。如果真能实现这功能那真的是太棒了，那就太感谢了！这个新版本将会是在中国有史以来Indesign卖得最多的一次！

Merge index page entries
Indexing often end up looking like this:
Smith, John 37, 38, 39.
It's tedious to have to make the first entry be for the next three pages and delete the other two. Why not have a menu option to "Merge consecutive pages." It could be run near the end of the indexing process when the page breaks are unlikely to change.
Even better would be an option to for consecutive page entries to create a new entry that makes the first the start of the indexing and the last the end of it. That'd keep the range right even when…

Automatically update the preview in the index panel
Currently, when users make a change to an index entry the result page range listing is not automatically. Users have to select Update Preview from the Index panel. Why not make the index list automatically update whenever a change is made?

Import XLSX spreadsheet to an InDesign table: the "-1" problem still
When linking xlsx files to InDesign I receive a "-1" when the linked cell in Excel contains a formula that returns text from a cell in a different worksheet in the same workbook. InDesign ver 15.0.1 Win 10 workstation

Place a page from a document into itself on a different page
I work on price lists and we have a page that explains how to use the price list. In that descriptive page, I insert an illustrator file of one of the product pages. The problem is that the information, prices and images are changed from time to time and the description page becomes outdated. If I were able to place an indesign page from the same document into itself then the information would always be up to date.

Video - Object Style
Today I cannot add an object style to a video. I'm using object style to easy redefine layout. If I create a content holder I can define its size and location with object style. Once I add a video into the content holder, the object styles in the object style pane are disabled/grey.

Select multiple, discontinuous paragraphs
When applying paragraph styles throughout a document, it is only possible to select multiple continuous paragraphs in one go. If I want to style all first level headings, for example, I have to click on each, apply the paragraph style and repeat and repeat and repeat... Often finding the appropriate style requires scrolling in the paragraph styles window. It would be very useful, and much quicker, to be able to select all headings and apply Head A (or whatever) in one click. This might be achieved by clicking in the paragraphs with a keyboard combination pressed or, as was done…

Please can InDesign use true OpenType superscripts and subscripts if they are available in the font
Please can InDesign use true OpenType superscripts and subscripts if they are available in the font, in the same way that it will use the true OpenType small caps.
Or can there be a way in the paragraph styles to tell it to use them. (Not a character style as they are not necessarily tagged, they just pull through from Word or other manuscript source as superscript or subscript.)4 votes -
Unlock InDesign Layer with password
In some cases you would like to create label template (layer 1) than lock it, when you pass it to another user he can't unlock layer 1 without permission (for example password).
The use is for workflow management in order to ensure artwork consistency by using single template.4 votes -
The little arrows up/down to change values have increments too large
Those little arrows used to change increments are a blessing, but many times the increments are just too big so they are useless because I have to input my numbers anyway. There should be a preference to change the increment value assigned to those fields (like 0.1 point or 0.1 mm) like there is one for the leading (see pictures)

Change dictionary across paragraph styles
I hope in a feature to change the dictionary across all/selected paragraph styles in a document with a single command. It should be a saving time feature.

Copy/move image from one frame to another keeping original coordinates
Please make it standard (or at least possible) to copy or move an image from a frame to another frame and keep the position of the image identical to the original (or relatively identical when the frame sizes are different). I think it used to be like that in earlier versios of Indesign but since a couple of years this behaviour is gone.

In Mojikumi Table, paragraph indent size to be fixed without depending on the first character
InDesign Japanese Edition 15.0 or earlier
At present, the indent size depends on the attribute of the first character, so when the character with a different size or scale comes first, the indent amount changes.
Instead, I want the indent to be fixed based on the text size in the paragraph style or frame grid settings.
The attached image is the current specification.P.S. If the first character of a paragraph has a decoration such as an underline, the decoration will also accompany the indentation. I think this is a bug.(additional.jpg)

Disable external plugins from earlier versions when packaging files
I find that some files created with cs5.5/cs6 use external plugins that get embedded in CC 2019 and then cause them to crash when opened on another system without those plugins. Is there any way to disable the plugins at the package stage? That would ideal.

Make search and replace aware of HTML web addresses to include or exclude them
S&R knows how to limit searches to who words or by capitalization. Give it the ability to include or (more important) exclude HTML web addresses. I often have to search an entire book replacing some hyphens with N-dashes or M-dashes. Quite a few of the search results are webpage addresses whose hyphens I do NOT want to change, often hundreds of them. It's be great if searches could exclude web addresses.

PLEASE give senior discounts to Adobe products.

Sync PDF Export Options
It'd be great to sync custom PDF export presets in Creative Cloud. Right now, PDF presets are saved locally, so they are not accessible across different devices. If Creative Cloud synced these settings, it would be very helpful for productivity across different machines.
