    Its now almost March 2025, and I am having precisely the same issue. M2 Macmini, fully updated. Fully updated indesign (2024.1).

    I don't seem to have any scripts, plugins or  extensions running. I am trying to make a style pack out of a few custom designed paragraphs. Even creating a blank pack causes an error

    Same issue here! Brand new MacBook Pro and fully up to date indesign. No 3rd party plug-ins installed. I need to create a style pack for my work and i get the same error message. It will eventually create the style pack but it doesn't save into  the style pack list- meaning its unavailable in any other document. ADOBE PLEASE ADVISE. This is a major issue.

    Hey @Todditron and @erin_5757,

     

    Sorry for the delay. I just tested this on my end, and it works as expected without any errors on InDesign latest 20.2 version. Could you double-check if there are any duplicate style names (Paragraph style name)in your document? Also, since you've ruled out scripts, could you try running InDesign in Safe Mode to ensure a plug-in isn’t interfering? Ref:

    If the issue persists, would you mind sharing a screen recording? Try creating a new InDesign document and then making a style pack while recording. Looking forward to your update.

    And you are following these guidelines?

    And you are patched to the latest InDesign and OS?

      You might experiment with this grab-bag of assorted troubleshooting:

        Hi @LINA KÖPPEN,

        Thank you for reaching out, and sorry to hear you are unable to create style packs in InDesign. A few more details would be super helpful.

        The details of your operating system.
        Does that happen with all files or on a new file when you try to create a new style pack?
        Please check if 2 or more styles have the same name.

         

        We will try our best to help.

         

        Thanks,

        Harshika

        Strange that it happens with only a single file. The error message seems to point that some code/script is executed which is causing this issue. Did you install any third party plugin/scripts recently? If yes try uninstalling them. Also, you could try and recorver the InDesign if it has been somehow corrupted by exporting it out to IDML and then resaving the IDML back to INDD. Then try with the new INDD that you get.
