Reapply the master without losing information in text frames from the master
>>This is complicated to describe, so I'm going to use a not-so-great example. In PowerPoint you can put "placeholders" on the master pages. If you make a change to the position of the placeholder and update the slide everything moves into the correct position.
>>I'd like to be able to do something like that with text frames on the master in InDesign. The problem I'm having is that because I can't have two "primary text frames" on the master, I have to command-shift click to get the second text frame to be active. Once I do that, however,

When flowing text in multiple textboxes, Object Styles settings are ignored

- >Create an object style and set it as the default for new Text Frames. Create a new Text Frame. Click on the linking box at the corner and hold down alt to link the Text Frame to a number of new TF's. Draw a number of new linked TF's with the alt key pressed. >

- >The new TF's have an OS of [None] >
3 votesHi,
This has been the behaviour since the beginning. See the link https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/object-styles.html where it states “This category is applicable only if the object is an unthreaded text frame.”Please let us know any use-cases where this can be beneficial so that we can process this as a “Feature modification request”
You can ctrl(cmd)+a in a text frame and then apply the paragraph style as a workaround.

Indesign 16.0 crashes when copying text with anchored object

Indesign crashes after copying text
>>Indesign crashes immediately after copying text. It seems that this only happens with formatted text. If I separate the text box from the paragraph format, I can copy the text. But that is very time consuming and annoying. When I open Indesign again, it crashes immediately. And when I finally managed to open the file again and click on "Paragraph format" in the sidebar, Indesign freezes. The bug has occurred since the last 2-3 versions of Indesign and I hope that the bug will be fixed with every new one. Unfortunately, this did not happen.

Text Box Cutting off Copy with Auto Height On

We use many layers and many versions so we copy the text very often, this is causing problems with missing text.
