Bring back a "late adopter" version
On servers with many users, bugs can have a significant impact on the business reputation and support volume. Plesk once had a "late adopter" option so that updates were not done right after publication, but a bit later, when most of the product issues discovered were already solved by hotfixes or patches (minor updates). Maybe this could be brought back into the product as an option for Plesk updates?

Limit maximum crontab frequency and preventing cronjobs pile-up
Plesk administrator should be able to limit the maximum crontab frequency allowed for user's crontab (example: deny the creation of cronjob that run more often than once in 5 minutes)
Crontab pile-up should be prevented, so a user can't run a cron job if the same job isn't finished yet.
1 voteThank you for your idea.
For the time being, please consider that a script that is started via cronjob, should check itself if another instance of the same script is already running, if there is a risk that a further instance causes problems. Crontab cannot check that.
Also, please be aware that users are not bound to repeat actions in a script in a while-loop. They can easily start a script every 10 minutes, yet let it run over and over again by just putting their content into a while-loop, maybe even wait a few seconds after each iteration. So limiting them to create cronjobs for only every n minutes will not keep users from executing scripts all the time.
We'd like to hear more from other users what they think about the idea. If it still becomes popular, it might find its way into a future version of the…

In Plesk File Manager, add an option to move a directory when the destination location already has a directory with the same name
In Plesk File Manager, add an option "Overwrite existing directories" when moving a directory to a location that already has a directory with the same name.
Right now, it is required to manually remove/rename the directory before moving.
The option "Replace existing files" applies only to the files.

WP Toolkit feature to detect plugin and theme conflicts
Please implement a function in the WP Toolkit that would detect plugin or theme conflicts. For example, cloning a website with WP Toolkit sometimes fails due to a plugin or theme that is interfering with the WP-CLI commands execution. Usually, running the same WP-CLI command with the --skip-plugins and/or --skip-themes flag allows the command to be executed successfully.
Currently, the WP Toolkit doesn't provide enough information why the cloning fails. It would be useful if there's a functional, which would provide more information on what particular plugin or theme is causing the issue.
13 votesThank you for the update. We can certainly attempt to improve the error/warning reporting during cloning processes. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it becomes popular.

consistency between PhpSettingsCustom and dom_param tables.
It would be great that plesk repair db checks the consistency between PhpSettingsCustom and dom_param tables.
This can be reproduced by adding some additional php directives via Plesk UI for example.com domain and then removing them from table PhpSettingsCustom via plesk db command.

Allow setting MAILFROM field in crons from Plesk Interface
When a customer adds a cronjob within the Plesk interface through "Scheduled tasks", they can set the recipient (MAILTO field) of the cron with the "Send notifications to" field, but there is no option to set the sender (MAILFROM field). By default, the sender for crondaemon is user@server.tld, which in our case causes SPF errors with the receiving mail server of the recipient.
We do not give our clients CLI access, so they cannot manually set it with the crontab -e command, nor should they (the whole point of the Plesk Interface is for GUI-style ease of use). Could…

Add a snapshot of the current processes list to existing CPU / memory usage exceeded emails
The Monitoring extension already triggers email notifications when resource usage exceeds the allocations, but if usage has already settled before you notice these emails and click through to the server, it's difficult to find which domain was the cause.
Adding a snapshot of the current processes list to these emails when it's the CPU or memory usage thresholds that have been exceeded would be very useful. Potentially just the "Domains only" filtered list would suffice. Maybe trimmed to the top 50 or so processes ordered by CPU or memory, whichever is appropriate at the time.

Add unique identifier to login event parameters
Currently the user login/logout event only gives a contact name as event parameter. This is not a unique identifier since multiple users can have the same contact name. In the psa log_actions database table the username is saved. Please also add the username to the event parameters so there's a unique identifier which user logged in our out.
Not sure about the category, so please replace if there's a better place for this suggestion.

Ability to disable "Forgot your password" in Plesk log in screen
There are cases when the account information has been leaked, so password reminders and login functions can cause security breaches.
Therefore, it would be good to have the possibility to manage log-in screen functionality in Plesk. For example, hide "Forgot your password" (and show it when it is required).3 votes
