Many years ago the Strapi Chief Product Officer @Aurelsicoko asked the community what their main pain points were and how critical these issues were to the rest of the community.

Since then, every year (2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019) for the month of June we have asked the same question.This year we wanted to delay our annual pain points issue until Strapi 5 was released and give users a bit of time to play with it.

This year is a special one given we have released Strapi v5 stable. Once again the Strapi team wish to get the broad community feedback, so the question again this year is: what are the main pain points you have using Strapi?

Some Rules for this issue:

• Please try to be short and to the point and describe your use-case and why you feel this is an important issue.
• Only one pain point per comment (you can add as many comments as you want, but only one per comment please)
• Be sure to construct pain points respectfully and constructively, following our Code of Conduct

Instructions

• Please only post one pain point at a time.
• If your pain point has already been listed, make sure to upvote it instead of posting a similar message. A simple 👍 will suffice.
