Plain text list export of metadata
There are times when I'm in an email thread with other developers and I want to share a list of metadata that I'm trying to deploy via Gearset. It would be nice to have a button after a validation or deployment (failure or success) that copies in plain text a list of everything in the deployment. The list not only has the name of each metadata, but also the type of metadata it is.

track metadata filter changes
Filters are shared by default. However, if someone changes the filter, I cannot tell what has been changed, who made the change or when it was changed. Ideally, I'd like a version history for each filter.

Meta Data Searches
Ability to do a meta data search like you can in eclipse or visual studio in gearset.
For example search a custom field and where it is used within your org.

Inline Editing of metadata
Inline Editing of metadata
In order to make our deployment successful we had to download the package, modify the version numbers on the flow definitions, and then compare the local package to the target org. It would be very helpful if we can edit the metadata XML in the UI so we can fix the version numbers.109 votesHello. A large number of commenters requested the ability to carry out value replacements as part of metadata deployments.
Gearset now offers a feature called Environment Variables that lets you do just that!
It works with both manual and CI deployments and lets you target either a Salesforce org or a Git repo of your choice. And, for a number of key metadata types, you can even specify the exact 'field' where the replacement should take place.
If you have any feedback on the Environment Variables feature, please open a new feature request or simply let us know in the in-app chat.
Thank you for upvoting this feature request and we hope that you will find the Environment Variables feature useful.

Allow the use of cached metadata during comparisons
Over the past 2 days we ran multiple comparisons between salesforce orgs. Nothing was changed in the target org but some fixes were applied to the source org in order to make the deployment successful. A lot of time would be saved if we had the option to compare the source org to a cached copy of the target org. In this case, the source org was finishing very fast, especially when we used the local file comparison.

Provide the ability to run static code analysis on all commits to the repo
We'd like the ability to run static code analysis on all commits to a repo, regardless of the branch name. This would allow us to catch code quality issues early and up front, regardless of the branching model we use.
Example: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/gitflow-workflow (development is done in feature-* branches, so there's no one branch we can configure a CI job on)

Gearset to do Sanbox Refresh by copying metadata and data from production
Quite often an Environment needs to be refreshed, but every time it happens all the integration breaks as OrgId changes. Gearset can move metadata and data, which when made together can be a solution for sandbox refresh. Full copy sandbox sometimes takes days, GS will be able to it quite quickly.

Create an rss or atom feed as you add new features
When working inside of Gearset, it often alerts you to changes that have been recently made. It would be nice to have these as a separate, consumable, feed. We have a slack channel that we would like to pipe those changes to, for instance.

Add possibility to save custom filter RegEx for subcomponents
If you want to deploy new fields and field level security, I want to create a custom filter that hides all profile setting except of field level security and make that custom filter reusable.
Unfortunately RegEx only works on top level elements. In this case profile names. That doesn't make sense since that would hide field level security too.29 votes -
Selectively filter managed package metadata without excluding unpackaged components
Add the ability to filter in/out managed package elements from a comparison set at metadata type level. e.g. allow for the comparison of managed package objects and fields but exclude other managed package metadata types whilst allowing those types to be available for non-packaged constituents. More specifically for instance, exclude manage package page layouts and include managed package custom fields whilst including both unpackaged page layouts and custom fields in the comparison set.
The reason for this is to minimise the comparison set which can reach limits due to size whilst including all mandatory metadata elements for a deploy.

enumerate unsupported metadata in Manage Custom Filters
In Manage Custom Filters dialog, Gearset should link to
a) https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_unsupported_types.htm
b) a Gearset list of Metadata API-supported but not yet GS-supported metadata typessaves devops person wondering why certain metadata can't be deployed

Metdata Optimization / CleanUp Analysis
A very good feature for metadata management tool like gearset will be an helper which allow to identify metadata not used or not properly configured.
For example this concurent have this feature : https://www.metazoa.com/snapshot-use-cases-org-cleanup-and-optimization/2 votes -

Combine multiple daily monitoring results into a single deployment
If you want to deploy the differences of an org on a weekly basis, it would be a great option to take the monitoring results of the last 7 days into a single deployment.
Especially in huge orgs, where comparism takes 30 minutes time to show up, this would ease deployment pretty much.2 votes -

Add functionality to select the changes in the component for the deployment.
I think it will be very helpful to have a possibility to deploy only some selected changes in the modified component.

Allow date range filtering on the "Changed On" column
Currently one has to pick dates individually, if one has 30 + dates to select, this can be massively simplified if one could select a date range.

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