Create way to duplicate documents within firebase console so we can easily move them elsewhere
Sometimes it would be nice to have ability to use the console to Duplicate/Copy firestore documents and put them in different locations of the database.

It's impossible to import data into the emulator without first exporting, which is a backwards design
Developers should be able to use the CLI to easily pass in a path to a json file, whose contents may be imported into a firestore emulator collection. For instance:
firebase emulators:start --import ./data/import.json --collection=puzzles

Api to retrieve the list of subCollections present in a collection
We have unstructured data and each document can have different subcollections.
We want to know get the names of all the subcollections present in a collection.Currently we have to iterate over all the documents present in a collection and for each document we are pulling the list of subcollections present in it.
This process is very resource consuming and slow. We have to fire a query for each document present in the collection.Please provide an api something like db.collection("collectioName").listSubCollectionNames();

structure and organization of Firestore collections: documentation
Normally documentation about collections is done in a 3rd party tool like notion, jira, google docs (or notepad for the brave ones).
After a while this easily becomes inconsistent due to ongoing changes throughout the project development. The same way as we document code directly in the code file, it'd be great to document collections directly in the firestore console.
For this, something simple like a text input would suffice (ideally with some minimal markdown, but not mandatory). If developers need to add more detailed info or explanations (and make use of charts, designs, videos, whatever) they could simply add…

Transactions should allow exponential backoff retries like pub sub
Transactions allow passing an options object with maxRetries, but all retries are immediate. If there are many other functions writing the same document, transactions will fail after all retries (lock will time out). Maybe a better strategy would be to delay with exponential backoff like pub sub does.

Allow developers to use the local Firestore database for free
It'd be really nice if you could allow users to create local drafts, of small documents, for instance, and save them locally for free with Firestore.
This way you wouldn't have to coordinate Firestore and its rules with some other database and client code nor would you have to choose the simpler option of getting charged for writes and reads on remote database documents that really only one user is supposed to write and read.
Please note that while you could use the realtime database to save drafts, 1 it's not always easy to figure out whether that'd actually be…

Support offset-based document access and pagination
There should be an easy way to get a specific document by index in a query:
// this query should work as it's read, if i wanted to use gte i'd use a where
query(this.collection, orderBy('anything', 'asc'), startAt(index), limit(1))

Support deleting databases via the API
You cannot delete a Firestore database with the API; you must use the CLI if you want to do this programmatically. This is problematic as it means you essentially need to create a shell in your application, ensure the CLI is available, authenticate, and then make the required CLI call.

Expose subcollections as json fields
Currently, subcollections are treated separately from fields in the UI. This seems like an arbitrary distinction - a subcollection is simply a json object under a document. You could do the same thing with a string field.
The API could support retrieving subcollections as string fields in json format for a document. This would prevent the need to iterate over every document in a collection, then get a list of the subcollections, then retrieve the documents from those subcollections, etc. If worried about time required, since Firestore supports 100 nesting levels, perhaps the API call could include the nesting level…

Allow security rules to validate custom bearer tokens
Currently, Firestore and Cloud Storage security rules
req.authproperty will only validate and accept Google-signed ID tokens from Firebase Auth/Identity Platform.This means that "user authentication rules" CANNOT be used if we rely on our own (or 3rd-party) authentication/token server.
Proposal:
Allow security rules to configure the token verification rules so that they can verify the token claims of a configured token authority. For example, tokens signed by a service account private key, or 3rd party auth server (aside from Firebase Auth/Identity Platform).1 vote -
firestore 'in' 2d array order optional
For some reason an 'in' wury with a 2d array also runs with a sort function. which is not provided or supported by other features such as ArrayUnion and ArrayRemove.
the order should be an optional parameter because using a system where we must find all other documents that have the exact same features but maybe in a different order, is not possible. there is no native sort option when using ArrayUnion, and we've been taught through firestore arrays in general, that orders of items fundamentally shouldn't be considered to exist due to idempotency.
TLDR:
ArrayUnion does not support 'in…1 vote -
Query language (like SQL) but for firestore to enable developers to share queries across the whole stack
let's say that you have a Kotlin android app, Swift iOS app, a Dart Flutter app and cloud functions written in typescript.
there should be a way to re-use shared queries across the whole stack.
having a query language like SQL and pass those redundant queries across all apps that would be really efficient and could save developers a lot of time and it could produce less bugs.I'm not suggesting SQL, I'm suggesting to have a query language that's all.

Especially a parent value of a subcollection. For example, to be able to read data about a User while querying a subcollection called "Responses".

Add option to save a query in Firestore Query Builder
I have some queries that I perform frequently through Firestore Query Builder. It would be great to save queries to be able to run them with one click.

signInWithCustomToken using Python
Hello,
is it possible to use signInWithCustomToken to authenticate in Python and retrieve documents from a collection?
Does it work in Python only with cred = credentials.Certificate('serviceAccountKey.json')?Thanks

A way to get collections in a document using the Unity SDK
There's currently no way to get the collections existing in a document using the Unity SDK. ListCollectionsAsync exists in the .Net SDK.
