Thanks for opening this issue!

• 🎉 We are excited about your ideas for improvement!

The CI test in the PR currently makes some tests fail; porting the fixes from Parse Server 5 to Parse Server 4.x does not solve the issue; further investigation is needed, see PR thread.

I'm closing this as "won't be added" since there has been no feedback on this thread for over a month. If anyone requires MongoDB 5 compatibility for Parse Server 4.x, please feel free to pick up the PR mentioned above and we can re-open this issue. In any case, we strongly recommend upgrading to Parse Server 5.0 rather than staying on Parse Server 4.x.
