      I do have some feedback for MongoDB Compass. Hoping this could be implemented. It is a small detail, but important for UX. I have included my feedback below.

      -------

      Here is the example use case:

      I am editing a document within the object editor UI.
      I have an array which contains Int32 values.
      I click the button to add an element to the array.

      A new object is created with the type String

      Preferred use case:

      I am editing a document within the object editor UI.
      I have an array which contains Int32 values.
      I click the button to add an element to the array.

      A new object is created with the type Int32

      Summary

      When clicking the to add a new array element, the newly created element should inherit the type of its previous sibling. It should not always default to String. Well it can, and it works... however if I have an array of 7 Int32s, and I'm clicking the .. I am very highly likely wanting to add another Int32. Definitely not a String. I hope that makes sense
