space before and after ordered and unordered lists
I'd like to space before and after fields added to the Bullets and Numbering panel of paragraph styles. I often prefer to base my ULs and OLs on my body style which includes the space applied to the end of the paragraph. I can remove the space but then my list item lack the proper spacing for the last item in the list. I fix this by creating a last item style and apply it manually but this is a real pain. It would be nice to have space before and after fields to adjust the padding around a list,…

Unable to add Paragraph Styles to Creative Cloud Library, InDesign 2018
Not sure how you can reproduce this as I haven't found anybody else with this problem, but hopefully you can figure out how to help me. I cannot add paragraph styles to the Library, and I have tried every way:"+" button on the panel with text selected, cloud button on the styles panel, dragging from the panel... nothing works. Everything else--including character styles--can be added normally.

Typing letter in Paragraph/Character style Shortcut field results in invisible shortcut being assigned
How to reproduce this serious bug:
-Double-click a Paragraph or Character Style to edit
-Type a letter in the Shortcut field
-Witness the field remanining blank
-Click OK.Typing this letter in the document will now assign this style, while the letter remains invisible in the Shortcut field.
A solution (provided the user will ever figure out what's going on) is to select all (Cmd-A) in the shortcut field and press delete (or maybe just delete is enough).

InDesign 20.2
20.2 has broken my Ad Import plugin. The defaults that worked 2 weeks ago don't work.
The label is not transparent. The box that the ad is in is transparent — it should be white. If I use the Object Style, the ad doesn't resize to fit content to the box.

Character Style / redefine not working as expected
When changing the font/color/style of a word which has a Character Style applied, the user expects a + to appear and a 'Redefine Style' context menu entry when right clicking the Character Style, just like when changing the appearance of text with a Paragraph Style applied.
This does not always happen with Character Styles. If found that it does not work, when a Character Style is initially defined by first styling a selected text, and then added as a Character Style, with the + button in the Character Styles palet. In that case, the workflow mentioned does not work.

Bug: copying text set to French between documents changes language
Windows 11, Indesign 20.1
Problem description: I have six documents, two in German, two in English, two in French. In all six is a paragraph with the same name, but the language setting is according to the document language. Means, the style is set to French (for spelling checker) in the french documents. When copying text by copy & paste from one french document to the others, the language setting of that text in the target document changes to German. This doesn't happen when copying english text from an english document to the other english document, same with the german…1 vote -

map Word lists to InDesign lists and paragraph styles
As the InDesign help documentation notes (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/map-export-manage-styles.html), "Text styles with bullet or number lists may not be copied or exported to a different application with the bullets or numbers intact." The suggested workflow is extremely time-consuming for a long document where every paragraph is assigned to a hierarchical outline structure in Word, since each paragraph has to be manually assigned to the correct paragraph style and the Word outline numbering that was converted to text needs to be manually deleted. In addition, when placing the document, it creates a separate new "imported list" style from each Word list,…

Styles
To me it seems it would be logical to be able to apply a style across an entire piece of work in on action. Currently, if I set up a document and set the style from the jump and do not need to change it or anything it is fine. I had a situation where a publisher did not like some of the typesetting in the work and kicked it back. This was a 291 page document with 2-4 text boxes per page using multiple styles. I had to touch every box of text to update everything. Seems as if…

Arrowheads can not scale
When you have a .5 line you are unable to scale the arrowhead.
I do a lot of call outs for instructional work and I would love to be able to make the arrowheads smaller.

InDesign 2025 changes frame size while applying object style
If you apply an object style with only height set in size/position tab, and inset spacing, the width of the frame changes adding the inset spacing to the width. For example: 100mm width frame (no style applied) and an object style with height set to 25mm and 5mm of inset spacing in both sides (left/right). The frame with applied style will result in 110mm width.

Bug: mixed open type numbers
If a text is set in a paragraph format using medieval numbers and using character format with versal number for footnotes, sets the number with two digits wrong: the first will be versal, the second medieval (see image).

Ordinals do not work
The OpenType function „ordinals“ does not function correctly.
When I type English ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on), the option „ordinals“ should move the text characters to the top. When the number is at the beginning of a line, it works. But if there’s another word before the number, it puts only the first character to the top and leaves the second on line. I tried with different fonts, and only with one of the fonts it works as expected. What’s wrong???1 vote -
hyperlink removes style
This is ID 19.4.
Hello– I have a character style applied to some (but not all) of the text in a TOC (see Attachment 1). As a test, we'll consider the word BELFAST, which has this specific style applied to it: font Roboto Bold, size 10, leading 12, All Caps, PMS 5275 CMYK.
However, when I use the 'Add Hyperlink' function to the entire text block (from BELFAST to the page #), the previously described style I have applied onto BELFAST is removed (see second attachment).
The particular TOC I'm showing you is short so no biggie, but I have…

Can't add paragraph- or charactar styles to CC library
Whenever i add a pargraph- or character styles to a CC library it simply wont add it. It says that the character - or paragraph style is not supported in Indesign. This happens with new and old libraries, character- and paragraph styles just dissapeared in older libraries. This makes the libraries unworkable.
