  1. Support discovering deployment topology

    It appears that Compass has no provision to discover the topology of deployment, and instead it requires the user to specify replica set name in order to connect to a replica set.

    This was mentioned on SO here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61135528/mongodb-compass-forces-me-to-enter-replica-set-name-when-trying-to-connect-to-my/61135731#61135731

    For example when I connected to mongodb://localhost:27020 where the node at 27020 is a secondary, I received this message:

    An error occurred while loading navigation: 'not master and slaveOk=false': It is recommended to change your read preference in the connection dialog to Primary Preferred or Secondary Preferred or provide a replica set name for a full topology connection.

  2. Compass got stack without errors info (over 10 min)

    Better error reporting for the user. Importing a json (a valid file) puts the compass in an infinity loop without any error info for the user what is wrong. Values are not stored. App doing importing over 10 min simple file structure, I stoped on end the process.
    I found on end that json should to be in collection format (just with {} brackets). I added standard content with [] (example of the file is below). Improve validation.

    I used 1.21.1 (stable) version of mongodb compass for mac

    "title": "Specification by Example",

  3. Compass

    I'm having problems with Compass. I create 2 connections.
    One to connect to DB to practise - Chapter I

  4. security

    Allow an organization to force users to use their access manager accounts as opposed to database accounts to access Compass or from the Shell. Otherwise, users have to have two accounts or we end up with a shared database user account and create a potential security hole.

  5. It's really hard to type in a document json or an attribute,I hope Compass can be more intellegent

    Can Compass get more intellegent for us users ? The Feedback button hide some functional area so that I can't click update to finish editing ducument. I hope Compass can auto save what I've already typed,and never let it happen again that I forget to click that hidden UPDATE button and lose all I've typed,which makes me crazy and angry⊙︿⊙

  8. Aggregation Export Pipeline Error documentation

    When I have "Builders" selected, all I get for an error is "$eq cannot be top-level". Does not help the user at all to know what this means.

  9. Aggregation Pipeline builder export to R

    I would like to be able to export pipelines in R syntax, as I can today in Node, Java and others. R is very picky and unforgiving about it's JSON so having it generated automatically would save a lot of time.

  11. Require user confirmation before saving over a favorite connection

    Currently if you accidentally click "Paste connection string" on a saved favorite connection, all the manually inputted and saved connection settings will disappear. A favorite connection should not be edited until the user explicitly confirms it should be saved. It's extremely frustrating to have to reconfigure a "saved" connection due to clicking on something that gives no indication it will modify the saved settings at all

  13. Display/use escaped characters like "\n" for line break in document editor

    I have text fields that may contain "invisible" special characters like a line-break, which is commonly represented as "\n". Another example might be "\t" for tab, but there may also be other invisible unicode characters.

    I would like to be able to edit/save documents in MongoDB Compass that contain such characters.

    The current behaviour is that these characters are completely lost when the document is in edit mode and saved (updated). Manually inserting "\n" in a text field does not insert a line break, but literally a backslash + "n".

    Example document:

    {
    "_id": "***",
    "text": "Hello,\n\nThis is my message."…

  17. Able to convert double type and timestamp type to Date type correctly from UI

    This feature worked in 1.16 but doesn't seem to work any longer.

    When trying to convert timestamp type to Date type I get the error "Update not permitted while document contains errors".

    When trying to convert a timestamp stored as a double it displays todays date at 5 am. Ex: 2020-01-08T05:00:00.000+00:00 always. Which is incorrect.

  18. Fix bug with missing SSH passphrase

    If you have a passphrase on your SSH key file, but neglect to fill in the SSH passphrase field when trying to connect, nothing happens when you click on "Connect". No error message, nothing. Took me a long time to figure that out.

  20. Differentiate the polygon and circle icon to help with identifying the appropriate action

    The icons in the toolbar of the map view look very similar. I mistakenly selected "polygon" when I wanted to select "circle". This mistake can be prevented by designing the icons with more differentiation e.g. Using a more pronoucned shape, angle, fill or border. Ideally, at a glance, the two shapes should be distinct and self-explanatory.
