Add an option to disable the "repository sanitizer"
The "repository sanitizer" performs unsolicited/silently changes which confuse users and generate issues. For instance, if you have Apex class permissions in profiles for classes which are part of a managed package and are not present in the repository, this sanitizer will modify the permissions to false which is obviously a disaster, (and the changes can happen any moment, while users are trying to deploy something completely unrelated hence the confusion).
We know the solution is to have the classes also in the repository but for managed packages that's unnecessary extra work since then we need to be updating them every…

A configuration to prevent deployment from certain Sandbox Org into Production org
In most of Tech industry deployment lifecycle, all code or config changes are ideally pushed into production only from a FullCopy Sandbox(Commonly Known as Staging Environment).
It would be very good to have a feature in GearSet App which if enabled shouldn't allow user deploying data from Dev/DevPro/Partial Sandbox into Production Org.

View Grouped Successful, Validated, and Monitor Jobs per Instance in List
Our organization has now done over 13,000 deployments (yay!), but that means when I have to search for past deployments, any searching beyond 10 days as the filter becomes an impossible task because of the sheer volume that has to be searched (boo).
When trying to combine successfully deployed packages into a new package, if I have to change the date range to find a deployment done several months ago, I lose the selected deployments from a more recent timeframe and can't select them all to combine neatly.
If we could see successful deployments by viewing the authorized Org in…

List the unit tests failures in the email notification being sent out
Currently, when the unit test job fails, we can view the test history and results by going to the web page. However, we would like to view the summary of unit tests that failed in the email notification that is being sent out.

Allow selection of Metadata types to be deleted in CI jobs
As of now, if you have deletions enabled in a CI job, everything is deleted. It would be great to be able to specify which metadata types you want to include in the deletions since normally you won't need to delete all differences. This would be specially helpful to remove Apex classes and its permissions from profiles.

configure which problem analyzer results to use in CI jobs
Being able to configure which problem analyser results to use in CI jobs.
For instance, we can’t deploy any changes to managed packages because the problem analyser will ignore them (even though we have components from a managed package that we can modify and deploy without issues), that would help to reduce our manual steps during deployments.

Add Upload CSV functionality to create an upload template for CPQ deployments
For CPQ Deployments add an "Upload from CSV" feature where a user could upload a file with specific External IDs across multiple objects to tell Gearset what to migrate in a single click.
For example, the user could list the Object API name in Column A of the sheet and the External ID in column B and then Gearset would parse this and create a Data Deployment based off of those records specifically. This would be incredibly useful for any CPQ deployment where you need to only deploy specific records not the entire object!

Allow data templates to be edited to add or remove components
Currently when a data deployment template is created, there is no way to edit the template after it is saved so that components can be added or removed. It would be helpful if we could modify the components in the template without having to create the template from scratch again.

Optimize "Refresh Comparison" to only pull metadata that has been changed since the last comparison
Currently, clicking Refresh Comparison does not optimize the comparison in any way, it just allows you to skip selecting some of the configuration steps from running a new comparison.
This means that it takes the same amount of time actually comparing the orgs.
It would be nice if on clicking of "refresh comparison" the logic didn't run a full compare and instead just looked at metadata that had been changed since the last compare in order to reduce the comparison time.

Suppress irrelevant Suggested Fixes when deploying to git
The problem analysis comes up with a number of Suggested Fixes which may make sense for improving Salesforce deployments, but which are unproductive when applied to git deployments.
For example, the suggestion to remove TASK.WHAT_NAME, or to omit Standard Objects, will only serve to create a git repo which is an inaccurate reflection of the source org. Each time we deploy to that git repo, we will continue to have the same changes to select or omit, since the repo is missing objects and fields from the source org.
When the deployment target is a git repo, all suggested fixes…

How about a default BitBucket repository on the popup page that appears when you clone a package (under “Deployment History”)?

Add Support for Pre/Post Data Deployment Scripts
Some of my more complex data objects require that I turn off Validation Rules during deployment, then back on again after deployment.
Options that would work:
* BEST: List of Validation rules under each object and and option to temporarily disable on a one-by-one basis during the deployment. A "Disable All Validation Rules During Deployment" option would be helpful if this feature is implemented.
* BETTER: Ability to specify metadata xml to apply to each sobject pre and post deployment.
* GOOD: Ability to specify anonymous Apex to execute pre and post deployment. This would involve a callout to the…

Allow CI deployment notifications to the specific user who made the source control commit that prompted the deployment
We have CI jobs that fire on commits to a source control repository. At the moment, there is no way to email the specific individual who made the commit that prompted the deployment, so we have to notify everyone involved in the project whenever a deployment fails. If we could just notify the individual who made the commit (plus the deployment manager), it would reduce noise considerably.
Please add this feature.

Report CI validation/deployment status to source control
When a CI job is triggered by a commit to source control, please update the source control system with the result of the build - so that e.g. with Bitbucket we could see the build result from pull requests as at https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/check-build-status-in-a-pull-request-945541505.html

enumerate unsupported metadata in Manage Custom Filters
In Manage Custom Filters dialog, Gearset should link to
