Multiple variables cause issues when creating a Table of Contents
Version 14.02, Mac
I have a chapter title with nested character styles. Parts of the chapter titles are used to create headers on the subsequent pages. When I try to create a table of contents that includes those headers, there are multiple page numbers coming in. (The page numbers come in twice). I can see this is a known bug since ID 2015, but thought I would mention it is still a problem.1 vote -
Warnhinweis "Dokument wurde außerhalb des Buches bearbeitet"
Wird eine Buchdatei bearbeitet und geschlossen ohne das das Fenster Buch geöffnet ist, wird das Dokument mit dem Warnhinweis "Dokument wurde außerhalb des Buches bearbeitet" markiert.
Dieser Fehler tritt nicht auf, wenn das Fenster Buch beim Schließen oder Speichern geöffnet bzw. angezeigt wird.
Es ist kein Grund für dieses Verhalten zu erkennen. In den letzten ID Versionen trat dieser Effekt nicht auf.8 votesThanks for reporting the issue. We will review it.

Index "Number Style Override" not working on multivolume works
InDesign is not recognizing "Number Style Override" on a book document with seven documents. Only recognizing the overrides on the document in which the index is generated. Major suck points there.
I'm running Mac OSX Mojave, 10.14.1, on a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch from mid 2015. InDesign CC 2019.

Table of contents and variables weird behaviour
When some of my titles have Variables in the TOC (variables that I have created) they appear in the TOC incorrectly. My Variable here is a dash date i.e. 2019-2020. At first I used "–" rather than "-" but both ended up with the same result. I've uploaded all screenshots to demonstrate what I'm talking about: The variable with the longer dash, the variable in the heading and the TOC that relates to it. Notice that some TOC's are affected, but not others, so I'm at a loss.

table of contents bold italic
Use a style for a header that converts text to bold face.
Use that header style to have header text that includes some italics.
In the Table of Contents pane, associate that header style with a style that is Regular type face.
When updating the Table of Contents, the entry for that header will correctly have Bold text replaced with Regular text, but will leave Bold Italic text unchanged. It should replace Bold Italic text with Regular Italic text.

keeping cross references when updating linked data
In my file (IDCC2019), the technical data of the tables are imported from an Excel database. The index generated from these data works perfectly. But when updating these links, cross-references are removed. How to keep cross references when updating linked data?

[ID-4236500]Repackaged book-document cross-references do not update file path
A series of documents in a Book have cross-references to one another. All are correct and working properly.
I create a new package for my publisher and test the cross-references:
they are pointing at locations in my original files rather than the ones in the new package.Since those files exist, the cross-references have good status. Moving that package to a new computer breaks them, of course.

Table of contents problem
Hi.
i am concerned about table of contents generation under indesign cc 2019 (14.0.1).
When the titles to be placed in the table of contents are in a text box, everything happens normally. On the other hand, when the titles are in a table, the generation of the table of contents does not happen properly. See attached example.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

short name in wrong order in TOC
In an index listing by surname of the author the name Li, J. is wrongly placed after Libeau, M. I put this to the forum but nobody can find a fault or fix. See https://forums.adobe.com/message/10822337#10822337

button links missing after TOC update
If I use TOC bookmarks as my destinations for interactive buttons, the Button destinations get lost after updating the TOC. All the button destinations revert to the first item on the buttons and forms list. So it makes it impossible/hard to create a working interactive pdf.

numbers being added to end of toc
Bug issue: about midway through my toc headings, the page headers are getting the page number plus 20 added to the end of it. See screenshots. I've replaced the text, removed and reapplied styling. You'd think it'd apply to the whole group, but it's just this section. Thanks

Figure numbering skips one number in caption in multi-chapter book
I have created a multi-chapter book. All the page numbers are correct from chapter to chapter. The Index of Figures is correct and sequential.
Chapter 3 contains figures 1 and 2.
Chapter 4 assigns 'figure 4' to the first figure, skipping figure 3.As I said, my Index of figures is correct and lists 'figure 3' with the caption that in the body of the text is assigned to figure 4.
I have tried changing the caption paragraph style bullets and numbering to 'start at' to 3, but then all of the figures in chapter 4 are labeled 'figure 3.'

Alt text transposition issue with book files
I'm using a book file to organize a number of interactive forms.
When I export out the forms as interactive PDFs, the alt text that was designated in the "button and forms" panel for that form field sometimes gets switched out for alt text that is used in another form if the fields share the same name. This happens on export whether I use the"Export book to PDF" option in the book panel or I use the "File" option export (ctrl+E keyboard shortcut).
The alt text remains correct in the InDesign file and only gets switched out upon export.
