Advanced outlines

I strongly support this request.

As a professional user, being able to create stacked or multiple strokes is a critical requirement for maintaining compatibility with industry-standard workflows. Currently, the limitation forces us to use cumbersome workarounds, such as duplicating objects or text boxes. This creates a major workflow bottleneck: whenever the text content or the object's shape needs an edit, I must manually re-apply these workarounds to every instance, which is highly inefficient and prone to errors.

Implementing a stackable system—similar to Illustrator's "Appearance" panel—would be essential for:

• Cross-Software Compatibility: Maintaining accurate artwork structure during import/export without having to break apart complex objects.

• Professional Workflow: Creating standard effects (like text with multiple offset strokes) efficiently, without duplicating objects, and ensuring consistent output across different platforms.

Important Note: While requesting these advanced attribute stacking capabilities, please ensure they complement—rather than replace—the existing "Text Background Fill" feature. It remains highly efficient for handling non-encroaching outlines, and we rely on it daily.

This is a major productivity issue in my design process. I highly recommend prioritizing this feature as it would significantly improve our productivity.

And also to be able to add gradients, (fountain)fill a.s.o. would be really great

It would be nice to be able to have a thick line behind text so the text could be white - thus reversed out - and the line would stay with the text as it moves. InDesign has this.

And there should be option for double, triple lines in different configurations - same lines, thick and thin, two thick lines, one dotted and one continuous etc. with option to customize them.

And please be sure to add the ability to at least create dotted lines with circular dots. Currently you can either get only square points or dotted lines with round caps.
