Add Pipeline Functionality to Handle Environment Refreshes and Branch Realignment
In many Salesforce development workflows, environments (especially static ones like UAT or SIT) are periodically refreshed from production. When this happens, the environment’s metadata and configuration can become out of sync with the branch linked in Gearset Pipelines.
This especially occurs when:
- Changes were made directly in production that didn’t flow through the pipeline, but now exist in the refreshed sandbox.
- A deployment was started partway through the pipeline but never completed to production, leaving partial changes held on branches in the repo.
Currently, the workaround is to manually run a comparison and commit the differences to realign the branch.…

Add ability to validate commit messages for deployments
We require commit messages for deployments, but we actually need to go beyond this and validate the commit message format, checking for things like tagging ticket numbers in commit messages, formatting, etc.
If the commit message validation fails, deployment should not be allowed.
Some source control providers (e.g. GitHub) allow server-side pre-receive Git hooks which can perform such commit message validation; however, Bitbucket Cloud does not currently support this and it is unrealistic for us to switch source control at this point in time. Without this feature in Gearset we are unable to enforce formatting requirements on commit messages coming…

I would like to suggest a feature for Gearset that provides a more granular control over user permissions. Specifically, it would be beneficial to have the option to allow a user to commit changes to a branch but block their ability to create a pull request (PR). This would allow our team to review the commits before a PR is opened, providing a more effective way to manage and correct any potential issues before they impact the main repository. This is an improvement that would significantly streamline our workflow and reduce the risk of errors.

API to Manage CI Jobs
I would like an API to manage CI Jobs and Sandbox connections.
In our current workflow, we create new sandboxes and branches for large initiatives. Along with these, we need to connect the SB in Gearset, build the CI job, run it for the first time, and then tear it down when we're done.
We would like to be able to automate some of this.
- I have a branch and a sandbox
- I want to connect that sandbox in Gearset (would be great to do this programatically via api)
- create a CI job via api
- be able to run the…

Restore feature branch when a mid-flight promotion branch is restored
Have just experienced a scenario where closing a PR that is mid-flight in the pipeline caused the promotion branch and underlying feature branch to be deleted. So far, so good in terms of expected behaviour due to my pipeline settings. However, after restoring the promotion branch in order to reopen the PR and promote it in the pipeline, the next environment on the pipeline did not then show the change. This, I believe, was because restoring the promotion branch DID NOT restore the feature branch. Therefore there was no source to create a new promotion branch from in order to…

Create a mass back propagation button
Its very time consuming to have to back propagate one by one to each org. Please create a mass back propagation button.
Also when back propagating where more than one connection to an org exists for instance our techdebt org has several admin connections and I have to hit update on all of them. Make the back propagation smart enough to know that it only needs one update rather than on each connection to the same org

Ability to "Hide" Sandbox Groups on Pipeline Page
In the Pipelines page, it would be very helpful if we had the ability to "hide" entire sandbox groups from view. This would make it much easier to quickly find and focus on the environments that are relevant to the logged-in user.
Ideally, this "hidden group" setting would persist across logins and page refreshes, similar to how the "collapse group" feature currently works.
I'm sure an "unhide groups" feature will be needed with this as well, in case a previously hidden group becomes relevant again.

View Deployment Summary from Pipelines
My team develops in siloed dev orgs. Once a feature is complete, we create a PR against an integration environment.
This triggers a test suite run in the target org and a peer code review. This process works well for Apex. However, admins on our team build automations in Flow, which are nearly impossible to review in GitHub due to the complexity of the XML.
To address this, we’ve been using Gearset’s Flow Navigator for Flow code reviews. Previously, it only took a couple of clicks to reach the Deployment Summary screen, and the Flow visualization made reviews much easier.

Preserve Precision Selections through Fetching the Latest
You're precision selections feature is absolutely amazing! Every time I use your tool it just gets better and better and this feature has me hooked. It's been huge with lightning web pages which often have multiple changes in UAT and need to be separated for deployment.
We prep deployments before sending to UAT. Occassionally, there has been a big delay since the package was originally validated. If I need to go back to the original draft deployment and refresh the selected items to ensure I'm not overwriting something else that went out, the precision selections are cleared.

Deployment Failures in Pipeline
The flow of a pipeline promotion is as such:
- Validate deployment to org
- (on success) Merge PR into base branch AND move PR to "Recent Promotion History" tab
- Deploy to org
IF the deployment fails at that point, or is partially successful it would be great to denote that somewhere within the CI job within the pipeline. This would give the devs.admins more visibility into the true state of their features. Maybe we don't even move to the next environment until after a successful deployment.

Provide a visual indicator on upstream systems when out of sync with master
Often times we see drift items added to PR's in our upstream systems. It would be nice to have an indicator that shows if a static branch is out of sync with master.

Automate upstream branch syncing
After merging/deploying to prod allow auto-creation of sync PR's to upstream branches/orgs (QA, UAT, Staging, etc...). If the sync PR's could be promoted automatically that would be amazing.

Automatically Backfill Dev Environments with Pull Request When Changes Are Promoted Downstream
Description:
Currently, Gearset’s pipeline tool does a great job of back-propagating changes between static environments when a change is made further down the pipeline. However, this behavior does not extend to developer environments, even if the change originated from a feature branch tied to that dev environment.Problem:
If a developer starts work on a branch in their dev environment, and then that branch is promoted down the pipeline (e.g., through UAT, Staging, etc.), and changes are made to the branch further down (e.g., hotfixes, last-minute edits), those updates do not automatically get proposed back to the original dev environment.…

Add spell checker to CI/CD pipeline
Spell checker helps maintain a high standard of accuracy, ensuring your content is reviewed in initial PR's itself. Just like how we use Clayton code feedback.
If typos is in customer facing texts in UI (which is can be a big problem in public facing application where large no of users visits.)
It would be good if spell checker can be added as a policy inside Clayton. So that we can find and fix issues easily.
Advantages
* We can also prevent potential PROD P1 errors.
* Enhanced Code Quality
* Improved Deployment Efficiency
* Reduced Technical Debt11 votes -
Enhancement Proposal: De-merge Option for Gearset Branch Management
Currently, Gearset provides a helpful feature to merge branches, which is ideal for creating a Release branch that bundles all related components. However, it would be a valuable enhancement to introduce a de-merge or selective unmerge capability. This would allow teams to easily remove specific feature branches from a Release branch particularly useful in scenarios where some stories are pending approval or need to be excluded from the release at the last minute.
Such a feature would improve flexibility during final release preparation and reduce the need for manual branch adjustments or rework.1 vote -
Delete Flow by Version Number
It would be beneficial to delete specific inactive flow versions. Examples where this would help streamline deployment changes:
You need to delete a custom field that is used in a flow. You create a new version of a flow, remove the dependency on the custom field and activate the new flow. Now you want to remove the flow version that still has the custom field dependency. Something like a checkbox to select the version(s) to remove.
You have inactive versions of a flow and you want to clean up the historic flow versions. Something like a checkbox to select the…

load more items
Please stop using "Load more items..." as the way to load more table items. It's very annoying to have to say show me the last 30 days but then click the button 20 times to get there.
I'm referring to the Promotion history page but anywhere this concept is used should be ripped out.

Add a feature to ignore queue members when deploying queues
When deploying Queues with Gearset the members section is automatically included and the member list is deployed to the target org. Gearset has a suggested fix to sync the queue members with the target environment but it doesn't always work.
Salesforce supports deploying queues with an empty list of users as queue members are more like data than metadata I suggest a feature toggle in Gearset where the users section of the queue is ignored for deployments to preserve the user list in the destination org.
Our company and many others probably maintain the queue users directly in production as…5 votes
