  1. link deployment to a salesforce case

    The ability to link a Gearset deployment to a salesforce case record. If an org uses cases to track a bug or feature, this feature would close the loop from that case to the gearset deployment.

    I understand that there is a post to chatter functionality but it would be nice to target a specific case for auditing purposes.

  2. Yellow help icon

    i love the help you guys provide, really great.
    Suggestion.. The yellow circle that you open and drop down.
    1) can you move it to the header, and if there is a pending message show the yellow circle with a number in it ( number is count of pending messages )
    2) can you make it a separate window model? typically when i am chatting, i need to see the entire screen and the current pinned model is usually in the way and i need to click the arrow to get rid of it.
    If i could drag the window…

  3. Ability to turn rules/processes off as needed with ability to rollback

    There are times when need to update data or load data into Salesforce org and need to turn off rules or processes before updating data or loading the data. When doing a data deployment, GearSet has this ability, and I would like to have this ability to do this without a data deployment. Ability to turn off Validation Rules, Required Fields, Restricted Picklist, Workflow Rules, Flows/Process Builders, and Triggers one by one or turn off all. Then roll back once finished updates.

  4. Release Branches

    If I create a Release Branch from UAT, I no longer need all the individual Feature branches.

    Inspired by Gitflow and the current Gearset Expanded Branching Model.

    Currently: The Expanded Branching Model will create a Feature Branch PR to main for every Feature branch that is merged to UAT branch.

    Desired: When I create a Release branch from the UAT branch, then Gearset should close all the current Feature Branch PRs to Main Branch - if and only if the Feature branch was already merged to the UAT branch.

    Related to: https://gearset.uservoice.com/forums/283474-help-us-improve-gearset/suggestions/46150366-branch-pattern-matching

    This is related to branch pattern matching because…

  5. Provide and enforce branch naming conventions

    Branches get all kinds of really stupid names over time. It would be nice if Gearset provided an option to template new branch names. For example when my users need to create a new feature branch for their user story, Gearset should prefix that branch with 'feature/'. When a release branch is created it should be prefixed as 'release/'. Bugfixes or Hotfixes could be bugfix/ or hotfix/.

    Dictating naming conventions is unenforcable. Keeping branch names organized goes a long way to keeping the repository maintainable over long periods of time. Even if folks are well intentioned, git branches are case…

  6. Enable a consistent, buildable set of Metadata for Releases

    I'd like to have a way to work with a consistent set of metadata items for a release, that I can add, remove etc, and consistently deploy into a variety of sandboxes and ultimately Production.

    Currently, if you clone a previous deploy, items are de-selected if they're the same between the environments being compared. That means once I've deployed, I can’t ever get that “list” of items back and I have to rebuild it every time.

    A likely scenario is that I've deployed some metadata from Sandbox A -> B. Lets say it's 5 Apex classes. I then realize that…

  7. language

    Gearset UI Language specification. Allow users to specify which language they want the UI presented in and then show the correctly translated terms in that language. When using google to translate the UI the words it chooses are not always relevant.

  8. Allow Filters to be Customised in Pipelines UI

    Currently, you can create new filters in Compare & Deploy, but when you are comparing and deploying from within the Pipelines UI on your development org, you can only select existing ones. This either means you have to get your team to go into standard Compare & Deploy to set up specific filters first, or they always have to select the filter that includes everything.

  9. Change language to focus less on Source Controls and be more user friendly

    Gearset is great for non-technical users or those that find Source Control daunting. However, the terminology used in Source Control has leaked over to Gearset, and I think this detracts from the useful aspects of it, and at times just makes it feel like an extension of Source Control.
    e.g. "Create Pull Request" in the Pipeline UI should be labelled something more friendly like "Request Feature Deployment"

  10. Hide the "Create Pull Request" button on Deployment Success Screen

    Currently, we are setting our team up to use Pipelines, which has the benefit of guiding users down the pipeline in the right way (they can't create a pull request from a qa branch straight to main without going to uat for example). However, when they perform a commit from an org to a feature branch, the Deployment Success (commit success) screen has a button that allows them to create a Pull Request directly to any branch that they want. There should be an option to hide this from users, especially given the benefit of only being able to move…

  11. Enable admin visibility into a Gearset team member's shared orgs

    As a Salesforce implementation partner (SI) I have a lot of organizations to manage, well over 50. Each time a new org is added, I can go through and add all the users to that org, but whenever a new person is added to my team, I have to go through each connection and add that user to the list.

    As the owner, I would also like to be able to see all the shared orgs inside my account, so I can centrally manage them, rather than just the ones that team members may have added.

  12. Allow account admins to run reports on their team's usage of Gearset.

    I am managing a Gearset account and I need to be able to know who is using Gearset and who isn't so I can more properly assign licenses.

    This might be an Enterprise feature, https://app.gearset.com/account/account-report, but really should just be something an account admin can run.

  13. Pull Request From Deployment History

    Making a pull request via Gearset is only available from the Compare & Deploy Flow.

    I'd the link to make a pull request available from deployment history so that users can make the pull request to the various Git/Salesforce environments.

    Currently, I am telling my users to note the deployment id for their comparison and hit the link. This appears to work, but isn't user friendly.

  14. Show me where the Salesforce Release Changes are in the metadata files.

    As a gearset user, I want a guide to the location of metadata components created by Salesforce in each new release so that I don't have to guess and look for the metadata 3 times per year when Salesforce publishes changes to their platform.
    Please user your business relationships with product owners at Salesforce to submit this story idea on behalf of clients everywhere.
    For example, today I was looking for metadata, if any, created by enabling permission set expiration dates in my sandbox. This won't be availabe in production until release on 10/7 but I was curious if I…

  16. Show expired orgs in list of salesforce orgs

    When checking my list of salesforce orgs it would be good to see that the listed orgs have valid tokens and if they don't have valid tokens either checked on the fly/daily etc or just from previous automation attemps/backup attempts this would really help when you have access to many sandbox orgs on your user account.

  17. Support Filter by Status from Monitoring History

    I occasionally need to review the Monitoring History for a particular org over a period of more than a few days (eg. Last 30 Days or more). I'm only interested in reviewing entries where the Status = "Different" so I can quickly ignore those that are "Identical". This would be a good place for a column filter like those that you support on the Compare & Deploy page.

    It would also be nice to have the ability to filter on other columns (eg. Changed, New, Deleted, etc.) like only those entries where New components were added.

    Thanks in advance!

  19. Retrieve Metadata into local environment (e.g. using VSCode pluging)

    This would make the integration of Version Control and Gearset nicer. Where now user has to go to Gearset deploy to a feature branch, afterwards, go to VSCode pull from the feature branch.

  20. Rolling back deployment made by CI JOB

    Currently it is possible to roll back a deployment made by CI Job, though that rollback will only be performed to the specified Org. Hence, other Orgs have to be rolled back individually.

    Use case: I have propagated changed from my Sandbox to Staging. An issue was identified that requires a substantial amount of work where that feature cannot be included in the next deployment to production, hence it needs to be removed from Staging. Though, other sandboxes back propagated that feature because they assumed it should work.

    It would be amazing if the rollback used Github commits, so the…
