Ability to change Formula Fields to other Field Types
Gearset doesn't help with one of the most common deployment headaches: changing a formula field to a non-formula field type. It's still a nightmare even with Gearset.
What would be awesome would be if you had a "Change Field Type Wizard" where we could say FormulaField1 needs to become TextField1 and it would do multiple deployments to accomplish the changeover:
- get components
- deploy temp field of new type AND update all existing components to reference the temp field instead of the formula field
- deploy delete of formula field
- deploy text field in place of the old…3 votes -
call webhook with scheduled deployment
We would like Gearset to call a webhook when a scheduled deployment completes. The message to the webhook should pass a message with the org name, UTC datetime, the deployment friendly name, URL of Gearset deployment results and a status field with 'succeeded' or 'failed'

Clone Package - keep Tests list
It would be great if when cloning a deployment, it can keep the tests which got performed in the original deployment. Right now, we need to keep a list of the tests which ran on a doc on the side.

Give users the ability to update field/object permissions for specific profiles only
The issue is, when promoting from one org to another and changing either Custom Object Permissions or Custom Field Permissions and if more than the profile you want has been changed, the extra profile changes get promoted anyway. So we need a way to control which profiles get applied when promoting field and object level security.

Show the Created Date and Refresh Date on the Draft Deployments
I understand the Draft Deployments are snapshots from when they were created or last refreshed. Is that right? Please show these fields on the Draft Deployments page.

Indicate whether a Validated Package is enabled for Quick Deploy
T0 - You Validate a package to PROD (run all tests)
T1 - You or someone else does a deployment of something else, no matter how minor, to PROD.
T2 - You click Deploy of the Validated Package from T0, all the apex tests are rerun. This is by design per SFDC yet Gearset doesn't tell you in advance that Quick Deploy is not available. Something you think will take a couple of minutes now takes 30 minutes or more. You think you screwed up or Gearset is broken
Suggestion: On Validated Packages page and on the page of a…

Make pre/post deployment steps conditional on developer sandboxes.
Pre/Post deployment notes can be set to pertains to various static environments but they always apply to sandboxes after a back deploy. This should be conditional-- most of the time I only set them applicable to prod and they aren't applicable to developer sandboxes.

documentation
I have been really impressed by the visualizations on the Compare and Deploy interface. Particularly the lightning page layouts and flows. One of my most time consuming tasks is creating internal documentation and I have not found a tool that allows me to capture the level of detail that I want in an efficient way. It would be great if I could export the visualizations at the bottom of the compare and deploy screen. It would be even better if it could export directly to Confluence.

Offer Japan data residency
We are headquartered in Japan. Japan has data residency requirements for data backups/deployments and even metadata deployments/processing.
Please add the option for a Japan hosted Gearset account.

Display auto-merged files during Conflict Resolution
The Conflict Resolution only displays files that require manual resolution. Sometimes I want to see the files that were automatically merged without human intervention.
The only way to see this is to submit a resolution as is, then read through the file changes again to look for files that were auto merged/resolved from target instead of source.

allow automatic publishing of an experience site after deployment
Just like you can automatically activate Flows in Gearset upon deployment; it would be nice to automatically publish deployments of Experience Bundles. This is especailly true for deploying Experience Bundles to staging/qa orgs but applies also to PROD.
There's an API to do this: /connect/communities/communityId/publish documented https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.chatterapi.meta/chatterapi/connect_resources_communities_publish.htm

Ability it use SOQL to provide complex filters on Vlocity and Salesforce Metadata types to create custom Compare & Deploy Filters
I would like to have the ability to enter SOQL queries to filter Metadata types and data. Currently you can only use Object or Regex when you try to filter the data to fine tune the comparison. We are looking to do this for Vlocity and Salesforce metadata types and objects

Gearset CPQ deployment to delete target org component if source is deleted
Example in CPQ template you have situation when you need delete from source org component (content, line column etc.)
Now you have to delete this in target org as post deployment task.
Current solution support only new or changed component change.2 votes -
Pull Request Branch Filter/restriction
Currently creating a pull request from the "Create pull request Screen" provides the user with a list of all the branches.
The default of this seems to be based on the last location you had selected when you created your branch (This usually ends up being main). As we have a pipeline this is the last place you want anyone being able to create a PR into!
It would be great if we could whitelist/blacklist a bunch of Branch names on this dropdown to stop users accidentally selecting main when creating a PR (for most users this would be one…

Include "Messages reported by Salesforce" during Metadata Deployment in the final report
During a metadata deployment, on the "deployment in progress" screen, there is a column for "message reported by salesforce".
I think these should be included in the final results screen, and perhaps in the deployment report.
These can be useful for the user to do things like make changes to their flows to conform to salesforce best practices.

Link to the Salesforce Validation in Progress from the Pipeline
When I deploy using the standard deploy interface, there is a link that allows me to view the deploy progress in Salesforce.
In pipelines, I would like this same feature. When a deploy has been running for a while, it's useful to know where it is in the process and a quick link would be quite nice.

Only notify the Pull-request creator on validation errors
Hi team, not sure if there is a way to do that in the current setup, but I think it would be helpful to add the option to only notify the Pull-request creator/owner on the validation errors, instead of "hardcoding" the email recipients. Regards, Adrian

Setup using Github Enterprise edition although behind a Proxy
I am running a Github Enterprise edition, but have to configure using custom git setup.
Using the Github Enterprise connection setup, I was able to connect; however cloning the repository failed as the http request to list repositories returns the private host name instead of the proxied one.
Clone functionality works when using the Custom Git link; however it limits our ability to make pull requests and it also requires entry of Username and Password instead of OAuth which is a security concern.
Create a feature which allows the hostname initially entered in Enterprise Setup to be used in favor…

Create a pop-up warning when on the Selected Items tab before you can deselect all items
Without the Undo feature, there is the odd time (nightmare situation) where you haven't saved your compare and are on the Selected Items tab and accidentally deselect all items. It would be great to get warned that all work will be lost unless it's saved or the deselect action is canceled.
