Anyone know of a way to automate different leading values depending on the context? For example, if you have a bulleted list, where you want larger leading in between points, but less leading for each point (with multiple lines) to keep each point together.

I've always just made the leading greater for the first line of each bulleted point by hand. But it seems like there should be a way to automate this. I know you put a hard return in between each point, but usually that's too much space for my liking, and then you still have to change the leading of each "in between" line by hand.

Here's a image of what I'm talking about:

That sounds like something you can do with nested styles in ID. I don't know a great deal about it, but you can do a tutorial search. Hope this helps

It's not leading, it's 'space after paragraph'. (Or before) A basic paragraph-level attribute accessible via paragraph styles, or directly on the context top bar.
