InDesign needs better gradient control

InDesign has been around for like 25 years now and STILL all we have for gradient control is a linear and radial gradient. Can Adobe please add other styles to bring this software into the 2020’s? Copying and pasting gradients from Illustrator is ridiculous and doesn’t work well. as others have commented on previously.

There are posts like this: 

That are 2 years old and the OP is correct. It’s a ridiculous process. It needs a modern panel. You also have to try to drag a color swatch from another panel onto a little tiny color square in the gradient panel to change the color. Why not just allow us to click on the color square in the gradient ramp and choose a color from there? It would save SO much time and frustration. 

This shouldn’t even be a feature that users have to request. This should be Adobe’s team saying, “This is what needs to be updated in InDesign right now. I (and many other frustrated designers) would much rather have usable features like this than AI that we don’t need added to software.
