Lock and Pause the Resynching in a Book
It would be extremely time and frustration saving if I/users could lock/pause/disable the resynching process. The lock could be manually released once I have re-ordered the chapters in a book as I like them, Then I can allow updates and resynchs to happen en masse rather than whenever I make the tiniest change to the order of the chapters.
You see: I write textbooks with exercises at the end of each chapter. Often these exercises are taken from previous books I have written. I then customise them for the current book according to the client's requests.
Once I have imported…

Book / Index
Indesign 2020 15.0, Indesign CC 2019 14.0.3, Indesign CC 2018:
Crash when generating the index in a book with many chapters.
The book has 156 chapters (from 1 page to 30 pages) - when updating the index reproducible crash.
The book has 822 pages.Every time I sent an error report - no reaction. I think it depends on the number of documents.
1 voteHi,
Please can you share the sample document with which the crash can be reproduced?Thanks

Excluding nummering of numbered paragraph titles in TOC does not work when a script generates TOC
Current behavior:
The TOC style specifies to exclude the nummering of numbered paragraph titles (NumberedParagraphOptions.EXCLUDE_NUMBERS).
However, when the TOC is generated by a script via a call to createToc(), the TOC includes the nummering of numbered paragraph titles.Expected behavior:
The TOC excludes the nummering of numbered paragraph titles, as specified in the TOC style.When the TOC is updated manually afterwards, the nummering disappears.
When Googling for this problem, I saw that this issue was mentioned in the old archive. See attachment. Unfortunately, that archive is not available anymore.

Ability to Add more than One Page at a Time
I have a "large" technical textbook, in my case 20 chapters and at least 22 indd files, if I wnt to add a page or two to an existing chapter, each time I click the new page icon, it takes a while for InDesign to reassess page and section numbers. Ten clicks of "new page later", it rather timeconsuming.
How about an option, similar to adding rows/columns to a table, that allows you to specifiy how many pages you would like to add?
At the moment, adding 10 pages means watching it update section numbers 10 times.
Kind regards
Mike…1 voteYou can use the ‘Insert Pages…’ option from the Pages panel flyout menu to add many pages at once. You can also specify where you want to add those pages.
Does this work for you?

Cross references break when layer is duplicated
Indesign version 14.0.3 x64
Issue reproduction: Create a page number cross references that links to a text anchor on a different InDesign document. Close all documents except for the one on which the cross reference is, and then duplicate the layer.
Expected result: the cross refereferences should be preserved.
Actual result: The cross references will break and display <?> on the new layer.
Work-around: open ALL documents that are referenced first (in my case up to 100), then duplicate the layer. Cross references will be preserved.
Sample docs attached... oops "Invalid file type: .indd not allowed"

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 -

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

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

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.
For…

supscript
When building (or rebuilding) an index all the "see abc" entries using in place of "current page" have the "see" in superscript. I've written a GREP to correct, but it is annoying. Also get some random superscripts in various places in the main text.

Links on TOC doesn't work
Interactive links on the TOC does't work when I publish online or export to ePub. Even with “Create PDF Bookmarks” checked. The link itself is created, but it has no effect.
I'm using a Mac with InDesign CC 2018. (Until CC 2017 it was working fine).

Indesign
I have updated from CC 2017 to CC 2018 and opened an existing 740 page book. This is an indesign book file .INDB with 25 chapters and numerous index entries.
When I view the index panel in CC 2017 all the entries are there. Screenshot index-cc2017
When I view the same files in CC 2018 the index panel is completely empty and there is no index at all. Screenshot index-panel2018
AND YES
I rebuilt the preferences and the exact same thing happens. These screenshots were done after the pref rebuild when I noticed the problem.

Bookmark Can't Deselect
In the Bookmarks panel, when trying to set a bookmark, occasionally, a bookmark will be selected and there is no way to "deselect" it so you can create another top-level bookmark. Any bookmark you create becomes a child of the currently selected bookmark. There should be a way to deselect the current bookmark from the panel so you can add another bookmark without it being a child of the selected one.
