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 Debt10 votes -
Remove "No Difference" items when commenting on jira tickets
when i connect a jira ticket to a commit, I like the way gearset posts a comment on the jira ticket listing the changed items. what I dont like is the long list of "no difference" items posted on the ticket. It makes the ticket comments super long and annoying to scroll through. can gearset update this to only post the difference metadatas, or at least give us the option to include or exclude

Add a Select All that works on filtered items when setting up filters
When setting up the filters, I would like the ability to do a Select All on just the filtered items so that I don't have to manually select each one of them. This would be a huge time saver.

Introduce Import/Export feature for Custom Filters
Expose the underlying JSON/XML for Custom Filters so that we can export it, modify it in a text editor either by hand or with python scripts, then load it back into the custom filter.
For example I have my main CI filter with 50ish metadata types, and every other filter is a subset which I establish by cloning the "master" filter and deselecting metadata types. Whenever I make a change to the master filter I am forced to nuke all the the "detail" filters and recreate them off the master using the above approach.
So many clicks. My preference would…

Ability to Select and Merge Specific Changes in Lightning Components and Flows
We are using Gearset to compare and merge changes in Lightning and Aura components, as well as Salesforce Flows. While the tool works well overall, we’ve noticed that it currently lacks the ability to select and move specific changes during a merge. Instead, it requires replacing the entire file, which isn’t ideal in many cases.
It would be extremely helpful if Gearset could allow selective merging of specific lines or sections—similar to how it works for Apex classes. This feature would greatly improve control and efficiency when working with Flows and Lightning components.
Thanks for considering this enhancement!

Ability to accept/disregard repo cleaner changes
I would like the repo cleaner to work more like the problem analyser, offering a chance to accept or disregard the suggestions before executing it.
Currently Repo Cleaner can only be enabled/disabled only at team level settings, thereby forcing the setting team-wide, which effectively rolls onto all the projects/repos using Gearset for deployments.
I have come across a situation where I would not like to alter the repo with changes any more than what I have actually changed, but since its a team-wide setting the repo cleaner was getting triggered in and bringing in more changes to my repo than…

Users should be able to specify test classes and save them to draft deployments
Users should be able to specific and save test classes in the comparison stage so they can be saved in draft deployments. Seems like a waste of extra steps to unclick tests and select tests over and over as you work through a deploy.
also when deploys are combined, they would get all the test classes, again, saving lots of time.

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!

Get Notified if Pull Requests or Validation Fails
Our Org has Gearset Officers who handle promotions. It happens at times that I create a pull request and have it start validating (which can take a while). I'll navigate away from the screen and totally forget about it, assuming it'll get pushed to the next environment.
But sometimes there are merge conflicts, or validation fails. I'd love to get a notification, either in email, or as an integration to an attached jira ticket that it failed. That way ill be notified by slack or whatever.
Just an addendum here. We use 3 environments. Admin, UAT, and finally Production. When…

Bash scripting
Add support for bash scripting. This is one of the most powerful features of Jenkins and something that would make a huge difference in Gearset.

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.

Incorporate Relationship Graph into metadata deployment
Right now is it not possible to deploy Relationship Graph metadata according to https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_relationshipgraphdefinition.htm with Gearset. This metadata is required for the so called Actionable Relationship Center, which is part of Financial Services Cloud. Even though the meta data is available in the Vlocity filter in Gearset, the items we are looking for doesn't fall under that one. If selected, no meta data get retrieved and therefore no deployment happens.

Allow delegated users to edit environment variables
My user is setup on our CI and I have a number of environment variables setup on Custom Labels for ID's.
Whilst this works great the main issue is if I am Sick/On Holiday there is no way for someone else to go in and add/edit the environment variables thus making me a single point of failure/Reference.
What would be great would be either have Environment Variables setup at a CI level and delegated users have the ability to go in and edit/create new ones against the CI (This would ensure only those that know what they are doing are…

Automate Salesforce org connection on sandbox refresh
When we refresh our sandbox orgs, we have to reconnect the gearset user, would it be possible to use JWT to auto connect to the org?

Change the Metadata Filters and make them first class
I would like to see a change to the metadata filtering in general.
Filter management has become a important part of our devops process as we seek to lower our comparison timing.
Instead of having it at the bottom corner of the compare screen, move that section to the middle of the compare screen.
In addition, add a side bar specifically for filters that allows you to edit or delete them as well as change the sharing between personal and team. I have example screenshots for suggested layout changes here: https://faef.box.com/s/frse8jnvqsxbl8ue05x641j3wlga1quy6 votes -
API to provision users, assign users to connected organisations
API to provision users, assign users to connected organisations
It would be hugely benificial to us (60+ connected organisations, 25 employees working in teams for multiple clients at a time) if we could programatically provision/deprovision users and provide access to connected organisations via an api.
At the moment this is error prone manual work that has to be done by someone with high level access (and as such is usually already short on time).

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.

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…
