Scoping Variables to Only UI or Config files
I just set up a project where I created a variable called logfiles to use as a variable in a step template. I did that, and around the same time was looking at the documentation for how to do key/value pairs for web.config and I realized that I don't see a way to scope a variable to just configuration files or just the UI (or more intentionally NOT config files). My concern is that I will set a variable that ends up being a key in one of the config files and so I unintentionally update a value in the…

Flag to show if a Secure Variable has been set
Currently there is no way to know if a secure variable has been set or not. Often times larger companies rely on other departments (prod control, ops, etc) to set sensitive variables, whereas the developers set the install steps for their application. There is no way currently to know if a secure variable has been set when deploying to an environment.

I would suggest moving steps and related variables across projects with simple drop down. Similar to the way machine can be moved across pro
I would suggest moving steps and related variables across projects with simple drop down. Similar to the way machine can be moved across environments.
In our environment we add new steps and variables in a temporary project so as existing projects are not broken for the new steps. Once the development and testing is completed for the new step and underlying code is merged with baseline we move the steps from temporary project to one of the existing projects. This process is cumborsome where we have to create a new step in the destination project and copy all the settings…

Add the ability to delete releases and deployments from the dashboard
Currently the only way for a release to be deleted from Octopus Deploy is using the retention policies. I think it would be a good idea to allow administrators to delete releases from within the octopus dash board. The administrator should have the following options:
- Bulk removal of releases - This would be similar to the retention policies. Remove all but the last X releases\deployments
- The ability to remove a single release. Selecting the release should now give the administrator the ability to remove the release
- Administrator should also have the ability to remove deployments as well.
- This should be…

Batch add or remove roles to servers
Adding or removing roles from clusters of servers that are 30+ servers is a pain to do one by one. it simply takes forever.
It would be fantastic if I could mark all the servers that I need to manipulate roles on have one dialog box open. Add and/or remove the roles I need to change. When pressing OK my job is done: I've successfully added the 'awesome' role to 30 servers in less than 1 minutes.
Also this would make my management work less error prone as today I might have missed a server or two in the process.

Have a textarea for "notes" when promoting a release to an environemnt
In our setup, TeamCity creates and deploys a package to the "Test" environment. Then upon approval, a specific package will be promoted (by a human) to higher level environments (i.e. QA and Prod).
We need to write notes when doing so. i.e. Who approved it, etc.

Configure environments per project
I have a project in Octopus that can only be deployed to 2 of my 5 environments. But since the environments are for all projects and I made a mistake once to deploy it to one of the un-deployable environments now my dashboard show that version XXX is in that environment (but it's dark yellow since there were no processes for it). It would be a nice feature to configure allowed environments per project.

usability - icon to edit project group from "projects" drop down
If I want to edit a project group, I must first navigate to the "all projects" overview page. Would be nice to just have an edit icon in the "Projects" dropdown for easier access.

custom colors for roles and support for assigning Font Awesome icons per role
As we continue to find more ways to use Octopus, we've increased our usage of the roles feature. This serves the dual purpose of filtering variables/steps as well as being visual indicators on machine configurations when viewing the Environments page. It would be really helpful if we could assign a custom color to each role to make items stand out and faster to identity beyond using a naming convention. Even better would be the option to also assign an icon, which I think Font Awesome would be a great option. http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/

Tag deployment process steps in list if they need to be updated
On the process tab it would be really great to already there see if a step needs to be updated because the underlying script has changed.
Also it really simplifies the configuration work if its possible to just click a button "Update all steps" which does exactly that..

add support for project specific environments, roles etc.
We intend using OD for multiple clients which have multiple environments each. It would be nice to be able to scope environments, roles etc to one or more specific projects or to have some kind of client scope.

Add link to application instance in dashboard
It would be nice if we could define a variable that is shown as a link for each application instance on the dashboard.
What I mean is, that instead of just showing the version number, date and status it would be nice to have a link that points to the website (or whatever url we want) that got defined in the variables for the product.5 votes -
Show Project Groups Everywhere
We use Project Groups to categorize our projects, but a lot of them have very similar names. When looking at Teams, as an example, the project selection only shows the project name without any grouping. When the project list is large, it gets difficult to make sure the correct one is selected. It would be nice if the group was included to help organize the projects, the way the main project menu works. The same thing would also be helpful in the breadcrumbs when navigating inside a project and really everywhere the project is displayed or selected.
