Feature Requests

When running an API call to a non-existent entity, we see a return of all values, rather than a message that we are accessing an entity that doesn't exist. We need better indicators because. this is incredibly misleading.

Hi Team, Currently, we dont have tracking in audit trail to track which user triggered the custom plugin. We would like to have this functionality.

Hi Team, Currently, We did not correctly show the status of long running steps in IDP. Steps will show as running even though it has finished execution. We would like IDP to report the correct status.

As a user, I would like to be able to add my components in the IDP sidebar for quick user interactivity.

Hi Team, We would like to have ability to configure ADR as a selection in my side bar navigation menu in IDP.

We will like to get access to the Github Copilot Plugin: https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/tree/main/workspaces/copilot/plugins/copilot We are promoting AI usage internally and trying to drive adoption

This enhancement is a huge pain point for teams. When working with objects/arrays with many parameters it becomes extremely cumbersome in the UI. As the parameters and objects increase the more difficult it becomes to manage them. We need to be able to hide/use like an accordion object with our arrays but still retain the data within them. The only way to “hide” arrays at this point is to delete the objects inside the arrays.

We would like to restrict our plugins until complete development is done to specific user groups/projects. However we found RBAC for plugin is not available. We can see plugin related permissions in roles but no specific resource to select in resource groups only the underlying pipelines can be restricted for now.

I want to dynamically generate sections in the IDP workflow based on field values selected in the first title. Currently, the scaffolder doesn't support conditional logic to show or hide entire steps or sections. It would be beneficial to have this feature to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of the workflow.

We lack the ability to effectively customize and dynamically structure the main Catalog landing page to create a more curated and user-friendly experience tailored to our organization's needs.
