Change Backup Manager time format from AM/PM to 24h and vise verse
Add the possibility to change the time format in Backup Manager as AM/PM is America standard and 24h format is European standard.
2 votesVerified that the time is shown according to the language locale selected for the Plesk user surface. For example when the language "English" is selected, the time is shown as AM/PM, when the language "French" is selected, it is shown as 24h format.

Add the option to monitor the Disk I/O in Advanced Monitoring
Add the option to monitor the Disk I/O and Latency in Advanced Monitoring, as it would save a lot of time for the Users and Support, as with a graphical output you would directly see in the history that there is something wrong with io performance on the disk. Currently , we only have a real-time performance of Disk I/O via Process List or to use iotop utility.
2 votesThis feature is already available since Plesk Monitoring 1.2.0, the graphs is available under the "Disk" tab. The graphs can be not shown in some cases if operation system does not provide Disk related metrics (e.g. if Plesk is running inside a Virtuozzo container; in that case, it makes sense to monitoring Disk metrics on the host system).
If you prefer external monitoring and would like to have all metrics are collected centralized, this feature is also available. Since Plesk Monitoring 2.0.0, it is possible to integrate the Plesk Monitoring extension with 360 Monitoring (see https://360monitoring.com/product-features/server-monitoring/ for details).

Add possibility to secure IceWarp webmail from Plesk
By current design of Plesk SSL certificates selected to secure webmail in Plesk doesn't secure IceWarp webmail URL.
Consider adding this functionality.
2 votesEvery domain or subdomain can be secured by a free SSL certificate by Plesk. There is nothing special about IceWarp that would prevent SSL for the domain or subdomain used for their webmail application.

Add an staging option similar to the WP-Toolkit one for other CMS systems and applications
Would be great to have an option to create a staging site for other CMS/Applications, similar to what is offered in WP-Toolkit for WordPress.
For example for Shopware, etc
2 votesIt will not be possible to add such an option to all popular software, as there are too many different applications used in too many different scenarios. Instead, Plesk already includes "website copying" and "website import" functions that make it very easy to clone an existing installation to another domain or subdomain. Exporting and importing a database is also available and very easy to use. Please choose these options if you want to clone a website.
I you are looking at a functionality like the WP Toolkit for other software, Plesk has a free API for extensions, so that the vendors of the software packages can provide their own toolkits to manage their software.

Adding functionality to restore a non-existing domain or subscription from a server-wide Plesk backup
I suggest adding functionality to restore a domain or subscription from a server-wide backup on the Plesk server, where this domain or subscription is missing (for example, it was deleted before). This is very inconvenient when you have to create a nonexistent subscription, then restore it, and then separately restore the domain in it.
2 votesIt is not only possible to restore non-existent customers, subscriptions and websites, but also more granular objects such as mail acounts, databases etc. (please see the attached screenshot). When restoring a subscription, it is not necessary that the subscription already exists. If the whole customer account does not exist, you can also restore the full account from a backup. There is no need to create that account before a restore is done.

Ability to remove or hide the "Feedback and Survey" section
Ability to remove or hide the "Feedback and Survey" section which appears with the Dynamic list enabled on a new Plesk installation.
Is it possible to change the language? it Does not appear in a different language than English.
2 votesWe understand that one cause for this request was that the survey was conducted in English so that the banner did not match the language of the panel. At the moment there are no plans to translate surveys.
For feedback and link options of the panel and many other configuration options, please install the free "panel.ini Editor" extension. You will find the available variables in the [feedback] section. You might also be interested in the [rating] and [promos] options. There is much to discover.

Allowing additional email addresses for mailuser
This would allow mail users to perform a password reset on their own. Currently this is not possible, because the email with the reset link would be sent to the own address. (To which the users usually have no more access without a password)
For reasons of data protection, it would make sense that the email passwords can be reset independently and not by the provider.
2 votesFor each mailbox an external-to-domain mail address can be stored to which a password reset mails will be sent should the "forgot password" link be used by the mailbox user. This additional address can be configured on the mailbox configuration page.

Ability to add custom buttons to the Right Sidebar menu
We need to place a custom button in the Right Sidebar menu in the Customer interface, however, this option is not available in Tools & Settings > Custom Buttons > Add Link Service > Location drop-down menu selection.
As for now, this location is only available with a custom extension: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/extensions-guide/plesk-features-available-for-extensions/implement-ui/integrate-to-plesk-ui/add-custom-buttons.73624/

Separate server scheduled tasks from webspace' scheduled tasks in Plesk Admin license
On a Plesk running with Plesk Web Pro or Web Host license, the customers have the ability to go to Domains > example.com > Scheduled Tasks.
However, on a Plesk Admin license, the user can only manage the Scheduled tasks from Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks. Due to the fact that there are more than 20 tasks created by root user, it's very hard to manage and monitor the scheduled tasks set by the customer.
Please, add one of the following options:
- The ability to go to Domains > example.com > Scheduled Tasks
OR
- An option to…2 votesYou can click on the column header "Subscription" in the admin's scheduled task list to group the tasks by subscription.

Cloudflare command line tool for activation
There are command line tools for managing extensions, but cloudflare is not in the list.
Also there is no opportunity to use this utility to activate the extension.
If those two opportunities will be added, it will be easier to activate this extension on many servers an once.
2 votesWhat do you mean “not in the list”?
- plesk bin extension -l | grep servershield
servershield – ServerShield by Cloudflare
Also you can activate and deactivate it with
- plesk bin extension —disable servershield
- plesk bin extension —enable servershield
