Support for Client Side Field Level Encryption

Currently, there is no way to provide Client Side Field Level Encryption options inside of MongoDB Compass. We'd like to be able to provide AWS KMS details to Compass and have it decrypt read values if the user provides the correct credentials to access the Master key. The Node driver which Compass is built on seems to be supported so having a way to provide the AWS KMS creds needed inside of Compass would be very helpful for us.

    This is available in Compass 1.32 and supports also the new Queryable ( https://www.mongodb.com/products/queryable-encryption ) Encryption ( https://www.mongodb.com/products/queryable-encryption ) we just announced at MDBW 2022.

    Compass went from Essential to pretty much useless as a tool for me when we implemented FLE on our DB.

    I think this an essential feature to have in compass since the launch of CSFLE in MongoDB 4.2
