Agreed. Even like a "footnote style" (like could it be included in "workspace"?), or if it would work as an "object style" type thing, where we could save the footnote dialogue options & layout tabs info and apply it to each book document?
The "restart every section" is useless when sections are spread across multiple chapters (documents). In this book I'm editing I got it in 46 indesign docs ("chapters") so putting each into a template would be a ton of extra work. Rn I have to go through each of the 46 chapters and put in the same settings for footnotes. So much room for design error and needs to be automated.
There are articles for workarounds using an extra text flow frame on a different Master page, which at least removes room for design errors by not having to "set" the layout every time, but then I'd have to go paste all the footnotes into a single doc and even then it won't reflow across docs or chapters in a book. If there are articles about ways to do footnotes other than ID features, that means ID should do better because publishers are having to do workarounds to use your product effectively.

It would help. I'm dealing with documents in a book that have their own slew of parent pages and I have to manually delete the ones I'm not using. (44 chapters...so...yeah)
