    This really is a must-have — if Figma can do it, why not InDesign :)

    See here for a recent illustration of why this would be useful: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/text-frame-with-a-left-or-right-side-border-only/m-p/13159468#M490005

    Being able to set a border stroke per side in a box would be incredibly useful, we could then build different object styles to cover it in layouts.

    Variables that would be useful:

    Ability to assign a stroke to one or more sides of a text box, crucially the left / right sides as well as top / bottom.

    Stroke width / position relative to the box edge

    Stroke offsets (so a stroke wouldn't have to cover the whole of a given side)

    Stroke type

    Stroke color
