What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

Some analytics questions require multiple sequential steps — for example, running one query to get a value, then using that value in a second query against a different collection. Charts limits each widget to a single aggregation pipeline, so this kind of chained logic isn't possible.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

A scripting or JavaScript execution layer (similar to the Mongo shell) that lets users define variables and pass results between queries, rather than being limited to one aggregation pipeline per widget.

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

It would let Charts answer more complex, multi-step business questions with the same flexibility a developer has when querying MongoDB directly, instead of having to move that logic into external tools.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

Running these multi-step queries outside of Charts (e.g., via Compass, custom scripts, or general-purpose query/AI tools) and manually bringing the results back in.
