permission issues
We just upgraded the with new iMac Pros and installed Adobe CS 2020 on all the computer over the weekend.
When they open up InDesign documents there is a major issue and it is consistent. When the first user opens a document from the server - they can work on the document edit make changes and save it back to the server no issues When another user open the same document next they also can work on the document edit make changes and save it back to the server no issues When the 3rd user opens the document it opens as a READ ONLY document and after that anyone who opens the document has the same issue. The problem is consistent and can be duplicated. We checked all the permission on the server and they are set right. The server is Mac OS Siera - the workstation are iMac Pro with MojaveI even had Adobe Support connect and gave access to the computer and they could not figure it.We just upgraded the with new iMac Pros and installed Adobe CS 2020 on all the computer over the weekend.

Need Permissioning for File Access and Edit for In Design File. WE should be allowed to set up security to prevent unauthorized access to
We should be able to create optional security in terms of file opening, file edit and file save/print fo all In Design Files. Permissions should be able to be modified from remote location, if for example a former employee with previous permissions copies file and takes proprietary template. This should be for desk top and remote server accessed files. Especially Server hosted files. I cannot believe this is not possible. Similar to PDF Files which are password protected. In Design files should have same security feature set as PDFs. This is critical and urgent.

Ai Transparency blends, placed into ID, exported to png w anti-alias on -> color mismatch
Ai 2019 files, when opacity is set on parent group item and child items, and laid over a white background -- when placed into ID 2019 and exported to png w anti-alia on, there is a significant color mismatch. Strangely, when exported to png w anti-alias turned off, the correct color results. The ID export to png anti-alias code must have a bug in it. The same for jpg export. PDF export is fine.

[ CC-2019 and 2020 ] The Convert-Endnotes-To-Footnotes Disaster SCOPE: SELECTION
Hi together,
I'm using the menu dialog, not the context menu, for converting endnotes to footnotes. Scope: SelectionThe result is not as expected.
3 out of 7 endnotes were not converted to footnotes.
1 additionally was converted, but the corresponding endnote was not removed.Trying again with a different selection of the remaining endnote texts:
Now the first endnote could be converted, I assume because I selected all the endnote text. However the remaining endnotes couldn't be converted.All the details can be found at the Adobe InDesign Forum:
I am showing all this in more detail at the Adobe InDesign Forum and at InDesign Prerelease as well. Together with a link to my test documents.

[ CC-2019 and 2020 ] The Convert-Endnotes-To-Footnotes Disaster SCOPE: DOCUMENT
Hi together,
I'm using the menu dialog, not the context menu, for converting endnotes to footnotes. Scope: DocumentThe result is not as expected.
There are 7 endnotes in my document. Only 5 were detected by the conversion and only 3 of that 5 were actually converted. In one of the not detected endnotes the text has changed after the conversion. Some separator characters were added.
I am showing all this in more detail at the Adobe InDesign Forum and at InDesign Prerelease as well. Together with a link to my test documents.

Can not start InDesign 2020
InDesign CC2020 15.0.1 is not running on iMac 27-inch, 2017, MacOS Catalina Version 10.15.3
When I try to start InDesign, nothing happens.
In the "Activity Display" of Mac OS, InDesign appears marked in red and cannot be restarted or stopped there, I have to force to quit and to wait some time until InDesign is finished.Maybe it has a connection to the following: Photoshop works, but it needs to be terminated with force to quit via the "Activity Display" of Mac OS.

InDesign tries to display interactive help while a script is running
I've done a fresh install of InDesign and I run a (lengthy) script. InDesign is trying to display some interactive help (and failing to do so) while the script is running.
Interactive help must be suppressed during script execution!
The empty help frame stays visible while the script is running.
This is on Windows 10x64 with InDesign 2020 15.0.1

Linked in file not showing missing font error
I have designed several booklets for a customer each targeting a specific audience. Some of these pages are the same like this back cover file which I have made using inDesign and is placed as the last page of all the booklets. When I make a print layout setting up the pages [12/1] [2/11] ... to print as a booklet I place all the pages from the indesign file for each book. This means that my print file references a design file which references a variety of pages and fliers of pdf, ai and indd types. I recently had some upgrades at work which turned off all the fonts managed on a server. Looking at the preview of my print layout file it was obvious that I was needing to activate a font, but inDesign says nothing was missing. I had to open the back cover page file itself before inDesign recognized there was a font problem. This is a very dangerous omission considering if I get in files from a client to print I might not need or want to open their single page originals, but just place them in the order needed to be printed as booklets.

Bad interact: Keep Lines Together & Start Paragraph in Next Frame, not working at Threaded Auto-Size (height) Text Frames
Working on InDesign CC2018 in Windows7.
When having threaded two (or more) auto-sizing (height only) text frames, and typing in the first of them, at the end of first line the cursor jumps to the next frame. No auto-size, no keeping lines of the paragraph together.1 vote -
Copy & paste from 2020 to 2018 doesn't work
Made a table in 2018, saved the INDD, then open in 2020, changed only text in the table, now want to copy & paste back to 2018 file -> not possible. It's exactly the same table. When pasting to pasteboard, the table rows look the same, only the style color has changed.

Exporting PDF from InDesign to an encrypted folder fails
We have an enxrypted folder on our NAS. We use BoxCryptor to encrypt and access these documents.
When we open a document in InDesign and try to export it to the same (encrypted) folder we get an error and the PDF is not created. The error mentions the background task not being able to export.
Exporting the PDF to a different location (not encrypted folder) works OK. So I guess the encrypted folder is the cause. The worksaround is to just save the folder somewhere else, and then move it to the encrypted folder. So we can manage ;-)
But maybe someone can look into this and figure out a way to be able to export the PDF to an encrypted folder. Not a huge issue for me. though...

stall
InDesign stalls most of the time for more than a minute after nearly every clic on any part of the screen : menus, boxes, objects, pannels... Even on buttons when saving or exporting.
I have two macs with the most recent version of InDesign and Mojave 10.14.6.
I complained about this a few months ago. We has to wait several weeks to get an improvement, but now it is starting again.
Please do somethiing quickly, we lose a great amount of time and money.1 vote -
