  1. A feature that lets you copy the actions of a button and past it in another already existing button!

    Yes. This feature would be a complete LIFE SAVER and a real game changer.

    I currently have a multi-page scientific document with 73 buttons that trigger 73 popup boxes with definitions across 6 pages, and each of those 73 popups are set to be hidden when clicked on so the user can go on reading the document.

    The client has decided that they want a little "X" in the top right corner of each popup box. I currently have no way of making this change on a global level without completely starting over. It would be nice if I could either:
    A) Add an object to an already existing button (I have tried this many different ways, it's not possible)
    or
    B) Convert all my objects to buttons, add the X to each popup, then apply my previous button settings to all objects in a layer/on a page.

    Instead what I will have to do is remove ALL button functionality from all 73 pairs of objects (luckily it will let me do that with multiple buttons selected), add the X to each box, group them, and manually apply new button functionality to each and every link and popup box.

    We have object styles, paragraph styles, character styles, table styles, and cell styles, we need a way to save and manipulate button styles!
