Set Dark Mode Cookie with Expiration Date instead of settings as a Session Cookie
Currently, the Dark Mode option in Plesk sets a session cookie to dark mode, which is reset to default when the browser tab is closed.
But if this cookie was set with an expiration date instead of a session cookie, this would not be reset after each time the browser tab was closed. This way the user does not have to reset the theme to dark mode with every browser session.3 votesIn Plesk 18.0.56, published October 10th, 2023, the behavior of Dark Mode/Light Mode setting was changed. It should now be persistent.
Please let us know if you have any comments on this new functionality.

Live stats for the End User/Reseller that shows memory usage, DB Usage.
Live stats for the End User/Reseller that shows memory usage, DB Usage. Basically something like how cPanel shows for the End Users. There is already Server stats for the admin since Plesk360 but there is nothing for the End Users.
1 voteSince Plesk 18.0.51 users have an on-demand button "Refresh usage stats" on their statistics page. This updates the disk space usage charts. DB usage can already be seen in total in that pie chart, but also separately per database on the "Database" page.
If "memory" usage means RAM usage for you, please comment how RAM instant RAM usage of a single domain could have an impact on server operations, because such usage would change greatly within milliseconds.

Ability to add MX DNS record with a custom priority from Plesk GUI
Currently, MX record the dropdown priority options are available at an interval of "5".
However, Google Mail and G-Suite require to create MX-record with a priority 1, which is not available in Plesk.
There is similar request here https://talk.plesk.com/threads/google-mail-dns-wont-validate-unless-mx-priority-is-1.357702/
Please, add ability to set other MX priorities in Plesk interface.

Change DNS terminology to primary/secondary
The terms "master" and "*****" have a very bad connotation which is really offensive to people who have suffered from oppression. Please, change these to "primary" and "secondary" respectively, as is the modern terminology.
11 votesFrom Plesk Obsidian 18.0.51 terminology was changed to primary/secondary nameserver. We'll continue working on other requests regarding "allowlist"/"blocklist".

Please show what is about to be deleted in the confirmation dialogs
I appreciate a lot that you ask users if they really want to delete.
In many cases one doesn't know if they have (unintentionally) selected too much. So it would be nice if either a list of objects (subdomains, mail addresses or what ever) or at least the number of items being deleted would be shown.2 votesThe improvement is available since the 18.0.38 version (#PPP-54067)

Add historical CPU and RAM usage by subscription in Plesk Repair Kit
Currently, Plesk Repair Kit extension does monitor in real time the CPU and RAM usage per domain: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007784053-Is-it-possible-to-monitor-CPU-Memory-like-in-Health-Monitor-per-domain-subscription-basis-
However, it doesn't register/save and historical usage. It would be really helpful that this extension would keep a CPU and RAM usage history, a graph, a timeline, in order to plan CPU and RAM limits set by CGroups Manager.

indicate password strengh or acceptance during "reset password" process
There are many customers complaining, they have to try several passwords during the password-reset process, before one is accepted. There is no visual indicator if the typed password fits the safety regulations.
"Inside" plesk, the password strengh is indicated when they change theirs plesk- , FTP- or e-mail password. Why not during the reset-process?
The highlight would be an indicator, that permanently shows if the typed password is strong enough or has to be stronger (with a tooltip/hint, what specifications has to be met or which kind of character is missing).
5 votesGood news everyone!
This functionality was added in Plesk Obsidian RTM release. We suggest you upgrade to the latest version and check it out.

add switch to enable/disable "restart_apache_gracefully" option via admin ui
By default, every time you modify hosting / apache / nginx or ssl settings for ANY websites, plesk will restart apache server and during that time ALL websites on the server are down returning "Connection time out" or "502 Bad Gateway" errors.
Even if such changes are made by clients from their accounts, all websites will be down during the next restart.
"restartapachegracefully" option will help to avoid this and tell apache to reload the config on the fly.
it is not perfect, but it is still better than seeing 502 Bad gateway every n-th seconds on any…
1 voteImplemented in Plesk Onyx 17.9 Preview 7 – https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/onyx/change-log/#contents-179-preview7
The Plesk administrator can now select the type of Apache restart (graceful or normal) in “Tools & Settings” > “Apache Web Server” (under “General Settings”).

Postfix preferred ip
Our suggestion is add an UI element to user area, where end user can change preferred outgoing ip for domain - ipv4 or ipv6. Without mail server config hacks from server admins.
10 votesSince Plesk Obsidian 18.0.52, published April 25th, 2023, Plesk sends mail from the domain only via the specific IP address, if a specific IP address version (IPv4 or IPv6) is set for a domain (PPPM-13770).

Plesk File Browser - Change Permissions recursive
Yes of Course: Changing file- and Folder-persmissions is possible via SSH.
But I couldn't tell my Clients to connect via SSH and give in commands they don't know. They will mail me and tell me how bad the Service is with such use-cases.
Also changing via FTP Client is possible, but for example FileZilla will Need a Long time for changing an complex WordPress install with some thousand files. Or even worse Typo3 with couple of ten-thousands of files.
I think extending the Plesk File Browser with an "recursive" Checkbox is really no big deal, but really good für UX…
