Feature Request: Full JSON Document View and Edit for MongoDB Records

Hello,

I would like to suggest an improvement to the MongoDB experience in DataGrip.

Currently, when working with MongoDB collections, editing a document typically requires using the Value Editor. While this works for simple changes, it becomes cumbersome when dealing with large or complex documents.

I would love to have the ability to:

  • Click on a document in a MongoDB collection and open the entire document in a dedicated JSON editor.
  • View the complete document in raw JSON format, similar to how it is displayed in tools such as Studio 3T.
  • Edit the entire JSON document directly in that editor instead of relying on the Value Editor for individual fields.
  • Benefit from JSON formatting, syntax highlighting, code folding, search, and validation while editing.
  • Save the modified document back to MongoDB as a whole document.

This workflow is available in other MongoDB tools, such as Studio 3T, and is extremely useful when working with nested structures, large arrays, or complex documents. It would greatly improve productivity and make DataGrip a more powerful MongoDB client.

Thank you for considering this feature request.

Best regards
