Request a feature

User feedback drives MAAS development. Feature requests help us understand what real-world problems you need solved. While we cannot guarantee every request will be implemented, clear, well-structured requests increase the chance of adoption.

Step 1 – Choose your path

  • Have a clear request? Post directly in Discourse: Features.

  • Exploring an idea? Use the checklist below to shape it before posting.

Step 2 – Shape your feature request

A strong feature request:

  • Addresses a common problem – not just a one-off scenario.

  • Describes needs in real-world terms – what you’re trying to achieve.

  • Includes user stories and use cases – concrete examples.

  • Explains the “what” and the “how” – what you need, and how you expect it to work.

  • Provides contact details – so we can follow up.

Step 3 – Post your request

  1. Go to MAAS Discourse: Features.

  2. Click New Topic.

  3. Add a clear title and summary.

  4. Paste your prepared details.

  5. Submit.

Safety nets

  • Not sure if it’s already requested? Search the Features category first.

  • Concerned about sharing details? Remove any sensitive information before posting.

  • Need help drafting? Start a discussion in the Users category to refine your idea.

Next steps

If you’re certain about your request, go ahead and create a new Features post on Discourse. If you have an idea but are not sure how to present it, make sure that your feature idea:

  • Addresses a common problem.

  • Clearly describes well-articulated needs and real-world scenarios.

  • Includes detailed user stories and use cases.

  • Is clearly described, allowing us to understand both the ‘what’ and the ‘how’.

  • Includes contact details for follow-up questions.

The more compelling your case, the greater the chances it will appear in a future release.
