1. Remember collection view mode selected or add an option to save default

   Currently, after you switch to table mode in a collections tab, compass won't remember that option when you open a new collection tab. Being table mode user 99% of the time, it would be really useful to remember last mode selected when opening a new tab, or be able to define the default view mode

2. Add an option to copy a database

   Let's say I need to test something on the production data but I don't want to touch the prod data. It would be cool to have an option to copy the remote DB data to the local DB so I could safely test my queries without affecting prod or UAT DB data

   Simply said it should be like an export database

4. Have my last query persist in the search box

   I realize you have a search history but even simpler and faster would be if the previous search query just persisted in the search box. Many times I am doing the same search over and over again but with a different objectID. If I switch from one collection to another, the previous search is cleared. I'd just like the previous search string to stay in the search box, even if I have to check another collection, then when I get back to the previous collection, the previous search can still be populated, I paste the new ID in the previous search query and go. This would save me a lot of time.

5. 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 we do anything that generation in the objectId based on the numbers or can we have anything like alphabetic have separate numbers like using the let variable like what we did for getting the months and days.

   if you do any one of them we can do auto-generation which is unique in numbers for every document either changing in the generation in objectId or adding the alphabetic to numbers like months and days

   I am sending the query that I have used in my organization for testing purposes but the result is unexpected so can you guide me on the correct to do it or any changes can you do in the upcoming release it can be appreciated. this is the basic suggestion from my side.I am thinking why don't we do it in the MongoDB other than going to python for random values.

   mongodb: For random numbers to generate based on the _id:

   If you insert the sample of 1k documents and test this query you will duplicates in the numbers and the count will also decrease.

   1st Method: [
   {
   $addFields: {
   numbers: {
   $regexFindAll: {
   input: {
   $toString: "$id",
   },
   regex: "[0-9]+",
   },
   },
   alpha: {
   $regexFindAll: {
   input: {
   $toString: "$id",
   },
   regex: "[a-z]+",
   },
   },
   },
   },
   {
   $project: {
   numbers: {
   $reduce: {
   input: "$numbers.match",
   initialValue: "",
   in: {
   $concat: ["$$value", "$$this"],
   },
   },
   },
   },
   },
   {
   $group: {
   _id: "$numbers",
   },
   },
   {
   $count: "string",
   },
   ]

   2nd Method:

   {
   $let: {
   vars: {
   monthsInString: [
   "",
   "JAN",
   "FEB",
   "MAR",
   "APR",
   "MAY",
   "JUN",
   "JUL",
   "SEP",
   "OCT",
   "NOV",
   "DEC",
   ],
   },
   in: {
   $arrayElemAt: [
   "$$monthsInString",
   {
   $toInt: {
   $dateToString: {
   format: "%m",
   date: "$dtCollected",
   },
   },
   },
   ],
   },
   },
   },

   Like this can you do for alphabetics so that we can convert the alphabetic to numbers then we can have random values which are unique in numbers .

   Can you please check and let me know if any changes I have done wrong from my side or any other way to generate the random values in numbers in the project stage.

   why do we have to go with Python for this why don't we do it in MongoDB?

   can you suggest to me if I am wrong

   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.

6. 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.

8. 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 the objectId>')

   This is something many people do very often. So whilst it's only a small step, it would nicely improve productivity.

   You should be able to detect an ObjectId being pasted (or manually typed?).

9. Always show CollectionName in Tab. (Compass)

   The whole tab space is eaten up by the Database Name, so I can't see wich tab shows which collection. Every Tab only says "somedbname..."
   There is enough y-space in the tab to show the collection name in a seperate line, so one could navigate quickly.

10. 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 on an Explain Plan operation.
    Consider the maxTimeMS in the Explain Plan option.

    Actual Results

    Explain operations cannot be interrupted by the user and he doesn't know if something is actually being executed.

    Additional Notes
    Compass readonly version 1.35.0

    We made explain plans cancellable. The new functionality is available in the most recent beta and will be rolled out in the next GA release.

11. Allow following a referenced ObjectID to the associated document

    I have documents that reference other documents in other collections using the ObjectId. It would be really helpful if I could follow these references in Compass to the associated document.

    For example, if I find a specific document by using the standard Filter/Find mechanism in Compass. From there I see that some of the fields in a given document reference another ObjectID (potentially in a different collection)

    It would be nice to have an available action (maybe an action icon?) that would take me to the related document.

    Currently I have to copy the desired object ID, switch to the other collection, and then do the second find with something like {"_id": ObjectId("62c9b444de386b2551756a56")}

12. 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.

13. 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 it launch with my development environment where I am authoring code.

15. 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.

20. Have the Export Colelction feature list all collection fields by default

    The current feature lists the fields from a sample of documents which may miss some fields. Although it is specified in a tooltip, this is quite counter-intuitive in a NoSQL database which is all about document diversity.

    When a collection has upwards to 100+ possible fields it becomes quite tedious to figure out which ones are missing from the sample data.

    I would like for MongoDB Compass to find the complete list of possible fields for a selected collection and list them all out be default.
