  1. Please bring back the previous dark theme (before 1.38.0)

    I updated Compass to 1.38.0 (stable) on Windows. The new dark theme is too high contrast for me and I would like to switch back to the previous dark theme. Unfortunately the themes available in this version are "Light Theme" and "Dark Theme (preview)". At this point I would rather use the Light Theme than use this modern dark theme. Please bring back the previous dark theme in addition to the modern dark theme, or give us a way to customize the theme. Thank you.

  2. Autogenerated random values in numbers based on ObjectId

    Hi,

    This is the basic suggestion from my side.we have a unique "_id" in each document while inserting the data can we make any changes in your code for example in our company we have one scenario while working on the aggregation query they need auto-generated value in numbers so it is not possible in the MongoDB.

    so I thought we can do that thing based on the _id. because we have a unique field then i converted the _id to string and separated the numbers and alphabetic separately but we don't have unique values the after separating the numbers from the objectId.

    can…

  3. refresh

    I would like to propose new functionality to auto-refresh a collection in MongoDB Compass. For example, if I am waiting for a document to update, today I have to click refresh repetitively until the document has updated. I would like to set auto-refresh with a filter in place to be able to watch the collection as documents are updating, instead of having to click the refresh button every ~5 seconds. 

    Steps to follow:
    - Log into MongoDB
    - Open to view a collection 
    - Filter by some criteria, and click Find 
    - Click Refresh icon to reload the documents in…

  4. Save favorite collections for quick and easier access

    Working in a large company with many collections, while only several collections are relevant to your daily work can be a hassle.
    It'd be nice if there was a way to mark selected collections that would appear on top of all other collections or in a category, like the favorite connection strings or the saved queries

  5. Screen reader support

    Hello,

    Visually impaired users rely on a screenreader to have information read by a speech synthesizer or displayed on a braille display. Popular screen readers are VoiceOver on Mac OS as well as JAWS and NVDA on Windows or Orca on Linux Desktop.
    Currently, a screen reader isn't able to work properly with MongoDB Compass.

  6. Be able to save and restore the tabs complete with their existing queries, projections and sorting settings.

    The description is in the attached graphic. The gist is being able to save the Filter, Projection, Sort, Skip, Limit settings for each tab as a logically grouped set of tabs which I can give a meaningful name to and perhaps stores them on computer as a JSON file and I can reload that json file after connecting to a MongoDB and restore my tabs.

    Also, once you have this functionality, it would be nice since the application itself is written in Javascript to make a Microsoft Visual Studio Code plugin out of Compass as well so I can have…

  7. Visual rule builder for schema validation

    In Compass, it is possible to create validation rules to enforce a schema. It would be good to be able to generate these rules with a simple, visual editor, instead of having to know the MQL or JSON Schema syntax for the validation rules.

  9. 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.

  10. Edit field while projecting

    When projecting certain fields of a document, the UI does not allow the user to edit the document. This is a bit counter-intuitive as editing documents that have a large amount of fields is way harder than only showing the fields (via projection) that need to be edited.

  11. Missing UUID() support for creating/editing - UUID('486b423a-f668-4141-b8a4-3a9a5a45eb6f')

    It would be very useful to create and edit fields that contain an UUID like:

    somekey: UUID('486b423a-f668-4141-b8a4-3a9a5a45eb6f')

    That should be stored as binary. I use this instead of the ObjectIDs.

    I can query for UUIDs but I can't edit or create them in MongoDB Compass, that should be added.

  12. I would like to paste a Mongo ObjectId and it automatically query on it

    I would like to paste a Mongo ObjectId and it automatically query on it.

    Right now when I go to type something into the query filter field it'll automatically add {}
    A great next step is if I [ctrl} + [v] paste in a MongoDB ID, then it automatically turns it into an _id query.

    Step 1: Copy "64f046fb304cee6fa007d935"
    Step 2: Paste int othe filter (Query) field
    Step 2b: MongoDB compass converts my text into the query {_id: ObjectId('64f046fb304cee6fa007d935')}
    Step 3: Click [Find] (or maybe it can even automatically do that?

    Currently I have to type"
    _id: ObjectId('<now paste in

  13. Expand all in JSON view should be brought back

    When in JSON view, we can previously expand all properties inside a document node by using CTRL+LEFT CLICK (or ALT+LEFT CLICK, i've forgotten).

    This feature was removed within the last year.

  16. Disable the explain button while an explain is running

    The Explain Plan option does not allow ending the operation.
    When selecting the explain button, no interface animation is displayed that indicates the "running" state of the operation. Also, the tool ignores the "maxTimeMS" parameter and continues the operation even after the elapsed time.

    Steps to Reproduce

    Select the Explain Plan option > select a field to filter in the database > fill in a "maxTimeMS" value > click explain.
    Continuously clicking the explain button generates several similar operations without option to stop it.

    Expected Results

    Prevent starting multiple explain operations when there is still one in progress. Allow stop…

  17. AWS IAM in Compass is MFA protected & uses shortly expiring tokens

    AWS IAM auth in Compass should be a password/token-copypaste-less, MFA-protected experience that uses shortly-expiring tokens, invisibly to the user. Said differently, selecting AWS IAM creds should prompt me with an { AWS config, MFA challenge } form/flow, and not an {{{ accessKeyId, secretAccessKey, sessionToken }}} form as it does today.

  18. Display collection name and namespace on separate lines

    If you have a longish DB/namespace name, the labels on the tabs become pretty useless, as all they say is "Documents (verylongdbnamewhichiknowalready)" and there's no room for the name of the collection.

    This forces me to navigate through tabs to find the collection I was querying.
    I feel that the "Documents" or whatever main label is on the tabs can be communicated via the tab icon only.

    The name of the namespace could either be hidden entirely and shown only on the tab body, or shown on a separate line from the collection name.

  19. CTRL+F in results

    Implement a CTRF+F function to allow "text search" in results page (like in a Browser)

    example : In a collection, I use "Filter" field to search document and compass returns 15 documents. I hit CTRL+F and I can search a field name or a value and navigate between.

  20. Keyboard shortcut to change DB/Collection

    It would be nice to have a Cmd/Ctrl + P or Cmd/Ctrl + K shortcut like in VS Code or Slack to quickly switch to a different collection or database without having to click around as much.
