Marking a process step as non critical
Some steps in the deployment process could merely be just to trigger some notifications or sending metrics to other products. These steps are not critical to the deployments.
A flag in the step could be helpful which can mark it as a critical/non-critical step2 votes -
Deployment Time Option
If you redeploy to Tenant and that tenant is deemed to have the latest version, then the tenant is skipped.
Though the main reason (well for us and many other companies I've worked at using Octopus) is that we simply want to re-apply an updated variable set.
In this scenario:
* I don't want to redeploy the package.
* I only want to re-run the web.config/appsetting.json transforms.Install of just the skip option

Apply the retention policy out of hours (or on a schedule)
Applying the retention policy at the end of a deployment isn’t the best use of deployment time especially in a tenanted environment with many packages to deploy for many tenants on a single vm.
I would love to see an option to apply the retention policy out of hours, when the environment is at a low usage.
It would certainly speed up our deployments.
Similar to, but using a schdule.

visualization of build stability in octopus
It would be great if octopus has a project wise dashboard option where we can create visualization of project build stability like status of last 100 deployments , how many passed , how many failed etc

Variable value scoped to release version
Often times I need to update a configuration variable but, only once we are about to release a particular release.
For example, if I'm upgrading my SQL server and moving to a new machine. I've got a release for the new SQL server version let's call it 2.0.0.0, however, I can't put my new connection string variable into Octopus configuration because I'm still deploying version 1 releases until it's time to migrate.
What I would like to be able to do is specify that the variable for the connection string is X for all releases prior to v 2.0.0.0 and…

Deployment Email Preferences by User
Allow each individual determine what deployment emails they want to receive. Users on multiple teams, or large deployment teams, are bombarded with hundreds emails a day. Giving the user the ability to tell the system they only want to receive failures, or no emails at all, would provide a better user experience. Alternatively, if this is not possible, allowing the system to have a single designated email for deployment notifications. This would allow the users to designate something like a Teams Channel to receive the notifications, and cut down on the amount of emails being sent in general.

Control when Tentacle retention policy step will be executed during deployment
Tentacle retention policy is executed once all deployments steps are completed. When the retention policy step starts running, it blocks any other step.
This behavior is by design and can't be configured.This design can cause issues if for some reason the retention policy step encounters issues and takes a long time to complete.
As a workaround we can add a deployment step of a dummy package at the end of the deployment process. As result the tentacle retention is executed at the last step of the deployment.
I would like to have an option to control when the retention…

Deployment Trigger Support Multi-Tenant
The Deployment Trigger should support multi-tenant logic. I am sure I do not have a unique environment that a test/staging environment is in a single tenant and production can span multiple tenants.

Please support deployment to Azure Cloud Sevice (Extended Support) targets
Microsoft opened up a preview for ARM base Azure Cloud Service, which is probably hinting on them moving away from a Classic cloud service deployment model:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-services-extended-support/overview
Please add support for this type of targets.14 votes -
Add tenant tag support to runbook scheduling
Instead of only allowing explicit tenant selection, add the ability to select the tenants to execute the runbook for by their tenant tags when adding an new scheduled trigger.

Show worker name in Task Log
Please add the name of the worker machine to the task log when a deployment is made. It is a small change which I think will be easy to add.
Reason/Rationale/Context: We were working without workers/worker pool and we just had a few deployments that we were setting up to run on our Octopus server. My colleague added a worker and without me noticing what I thought was running on the Octopus server was moved to the worker. I knew I had the dependencies my script needed installed via Octopus on the Octopus Server (like a trusted root certificate and…

Execute adhoc data updates with sql on Jira
Hi it would be useful to have execute scripts feature on Octopus for data config changes to be picked from jira.
This will help to select dev env and validate SQL and use as test evidence to run on prod env.
Auditing abilities on octopus can be further enhanced by attaching script execution to Jira also. All major releases have database changes along with binary deployments, it is imperative we keep audit history for data changes also.1 vote -
Allow worker pools to be compatible with ALL process steps
Worker pools only are compatible with two OOTB Octopus process steps (deploy a script, deploy to cloud). My team heavily uses the 'Deploy a Package' step, but this step is not allowed to use worker pools. This is quite an oversight and should be a prioritized feature in the next sprint.

Execute F# script steps using dotnet fsi
Several packages are now incompatible with FSI as it uses the old execution engine, one example is FSharp.Data and latest Newtonsoft.Json. System.Text.Json is also out of the question, basically anything targeting Netstandard 2.0.
Switching to
dotnet fsiwill allow usage of said packages. It will also ensure cross platform compatibility for scripts and allows referencing packages in the script. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/f-5-and-f-tools-update-for-june/5 votes -
Deploy a Release Step - Task Summary View
We have a "master" deployment project that runs a bunch of "Deploy a Release" steps that run other projects. We would love to be able to monitor each of the sub projects from the master. Right now to view the details of a "Deploy a Release" step you see something like this: Deploying release 2020.5.0-beta.14 of project 'ZYX'. View deployment.
When you click View Deployment you are taken to another page to monitor the progress. We would love to see all that information displayed on the master project so we don't have to drill down.

Allow variable in variable set to have a Project Group scope
It would be useful if we could set variables in a variable set to a Project Group scope.
The use case for this is that we have a shared variable set that sets a product ID.
We could then scope this by product group.
eg
Variable Set Products
Product Id - ATeam Scoped to Project Group A
Product Id - BTeam Scoped to Project Group BProject Group A
- Proj A1
- Proj A2Project Group B
- Proj B1
- Proj B2Currently we have to override the ProductID in every project in Project Group B which sometimes…

Add date, time and date/time variable types
Add date, time and date/time variable types. This would validate that the input value is a valid date, time or date/time.
Optionally provide a friendly interface (date picker control) for the respective values.

Better integration between runbooks and deployments
When deploying to c:\mydirectory#{Octopus.Release.Number} Runbooks are unable to obtain the #{Octopus.Release.Number} information from the deployment. Which makes a lot of actions rather difficult.
If it was possible for a deployment to set a variable available to Runbooks or for Runbooks to query information in releases per environment that would really be great.1 vote -
