  1. Show created timestamp for ObjectId fields

    It would be really useful to see the timestamp from ObjectId fields while hovering over the ObjectId values in query results. Well designed documents have a field for the creation time, but not all documents have it and then need to go into hoops to take the ObjectId and call the getTimestamp() function for it to see when the document was created.

    The ObjectId also contains machine identifier, process id and a counter. They're not that interesting, but could be shown as well.

  3. Natural language to MQL as an API

    Multiple use cases require the ability to query the data in MongoDB using Natural language. 'AI copilot' is one such use case where the application developer wants to expose a way for the app's users to get data-backed responses from MongoDB, and the users interact with the copilot in conversational language. Examples of this include - Customer service chatbot, medical assistant, etc.

  4. "I would like to have the capability to adjust the width of columns in the collection table

    I would like the ability to adjust, expand, or shrink columns by using the mouse when viewing the table in the 'Documents' section of the collection.

  6. Dark Theme is not that cool

    The background colour combination of the compass's dark theme stings like a thorn in the eyes.

  7. Always select focused collection in sidebar navigation (Compass)

    In the UI of the Compass interface, users navigate through databases and collections primarily via the sidebar. However, there's an aspect of user experience that can be enhanced. Specifically, I am proposing a feature where the sidebar navigation dynamically reflects and highlights the database or collection that is currently in focus in the main tab area.

    This means, that when a user selects and works on a particular database or collection, that specific item should automatically become highlighted or marked in the sidebar.

  9. Middle clicking collection tab along top should close that tab, rather than requiring pressing the x-mark

    Very much like tabs work in browsers

  10. Auto-expand single/specified database

    Upon connecting to a server, I would like Compass to auto-expand the database in the sidebar if:
    - the database name is in the connection string
    - and/or if there is a single database on the server (that is accessible to the user)

    It would save a click :)

  11. I would like to changes to a document to be preserved when navigating between tabs or at least receive a warning

    When editing a document, you sometimes have to look up data in another tab, for example to copy-paste an ObjectID of another document.

    However, when you return to the tab you were editing in, all your changes are lost and you have to start over.

    There is no warning that navigating to another tab will cause your unsaved changes to be discarded.

    Ideally, my changes would be retained and preserved so that I can continue working without fear of losing my work.

    Current workaround is to copy the document data into an editor, make the changes there, and then paste…

  12. Array Function

    Just like Javascript array functions such as filter, map having some option in drag and drop wizard with match and project stage will be more useful.

  14. support atClusterTime in ISO time format

    Currently atClusterTime https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/read-concern-snapshot/#read-concern-and-atclustertime has to be specified in Unix timestamp. It would be great if it could support more human format for example ISO format.

  15. Stop scrollbars from going top every single time after every single action.

    Compass resets the scrollbar to absolute top position after every action i make. Like navigating from one tab to another, so I end up scrolling endlessly. Please make the scrollbars to remember their position.

  16. index creation progress percentage

    Please expose the progress percentage when an index is being created on the compass UI, this should be very very simple since it's already in the op object msg field. Just an "In progress..." is simply lazy development.

  18. MacOS Scroll bars - show according to MacOS settings

    You can view the list of indexes, but there is no scroll bar on the right side to show there are more indexes in the list. The scroll bar pops up when you hover on the list.

    In MacOS settings you can set if you want this behaviour or if you want the scroll bar to always show.

    Think it is like this in english MacOS:
    system settings -> look and feel -> show scroll bars -> always

    The idea is to honor this setting.

    I use MacOS 14.2, Dark mode. Compass Dark mode is a setting that already works…

  19. Opening multiple collections tabs

    Opening multiple collections used to be possible but with the new update I can only have one tab per collection open at a time. This makes filtering data very frustrating when I can't compare against other searches that I've done within a collection.

  20. save last workspace

    It would be great if mongo compass holds the last state including query, results set, query histories.
    With help of this we can reload last state after restart our system.
