  1. Ability to show Password

    I occasionally get asked by teammates what my connection details are for one of my mongo DBs, but since it has been so long since I set them up, I don't recall. At the same time, they are in Compass, masked as asterisks. Many apps and websites now have that "eye" icon to allow me to see such passwords, and given that it's my desktop, it feels to me as though it's a feature I can legitimately ask for.

    What's more, Robo 3T has it, which is why I am forced to send such requests to teammates that still use…

  2. stop refreshing the tab on focus

    Two tabs are open: TabA and TabB.

    I am on TabA and did some searching with filters and sorting, then I go for TabB to check some Ids and stuff that I got in TabA.

    When I get back to TabA, the search is refreshed and we lose the document navigation we were doing.

    Simply put: stop refreshing the search on tab navigation.

  3. Make it load faster

    Nobody cares about how many plugins are still loading. Show the connection screen at least and load the plugins in the background. Also, by default have no plugins because why should I wait for plugins to load that I don't use? Also load plugins in parallel.

  4. Text based pipeline mode

    I know you can import the pipeline from a language but I want to completely disable GUI pipeline builder and just have a text editor. The UI is too slow and clunky, just give me a text editor to directly edit and run an aggregate.

  5. There must be an option to create text indexes from MongoDB compass GUI.

    In MDB compass GUI, there is no option available for creating a text index on a collection. It must be introduced so that one can create all types of indexes from GUI itself.

  6. Cancel/stop an attempted connection

    When attempting to connect to a cluster which is not reachable (i.e. localhost when you don't have a mongod running, or Atlas when you haven't whitelisted your IP), Compass blocks any user input until the connection request times out.

    I do this periodically when my home IP gets changed, or I just make a mistake. I generally work out what's happened in <5s, but I have to wait for the connection to time out (30s?) or quit Compass in order to change/retry.

    It would be much nicer to have a button to stop/cancel a connection request.

  7. Inline or popout editor for large text fields

    Sometimes a large amount of textual data is stored in a single field, and often times this needs to edited in development. If there was a way to edit a field in at least a multi-line text area, this would be made much easier.

  8. Ability to migrate "favorites" to new version of Compass

    Having downloaded a new version of Compass, I realize that there is no way to export/migrate my Favorites to the new version of Compass. I contacted technical support and they confirmed that there is no way to do this. My feature request is to provide some sort of migration path to export and import Favorites between Compass versions.

  9. Support for Client Side Field Level Encryption

    Currently, there is no way to provide Client Side Field Level Encryption options inside of MongoDB Compass. We'd like to be able to provide AWS KMS details to Compass and have it decrypt read values if the user provides the correct credentials to access the Master key.

    The Node driver which Compass is built on seems to be supported so having a way to provide the AWS KMS creds needed inside of Compass would be very helpful for us.

  11. Remember the expanded state of object when coming back to a tab

    1. Run a query that returns a document with subdocuments.
    2. Click the ">" to expand some of the subdocuments.
    3. Open a new tab
    4. Come back to the previous tab.

    Notice how all expanded subdocuments were closed. This is pretty annoying if you need to, for example, go through array items and run queries in the other tab based on their values.

  12. Ability to disable plugins

    I don't use a bunch of the plugins that ship by default with Compass, and I don't see any way to disable them in the UI. Loading all of them can be quite slow.

    Most of the plugins are necessary for Compass to function correctly and it’s a bit difficult to support enabling and disabling them. However, plugins are now bundled differently and they don’t slow down Compass at startup anymore.

  13. Compass support more languages for "Export Query To Language"

    https://twitter.com/MongoDB/status/1267452775421685760

    Currently it only supports 4 languages, Java, Node, C# and Python3. I would love to see in more languages, especially Go

    This is very useful when used with aggregation pipeline builder. Productivity x100

  17. The Feedback button obfuscates the Delete confirmation button for the last record on the screen

    Add extra space to the bottom of the record view so that I can scroll the last record above the Feedback button to more easily access the Delete button.

  19. Ability to duplicate favorites

    Often you have multiple DBs on the same server (e.g. demo/production) and everything is the same except the host or port. It would be nice to just duplicate a favorite in this case and edit the different parts.
