dynamic search function after comparison
dynamic search function
it would be helpful after the comparison to look for multiple components at the same time and not each one individually. for the release we get a list of components example from the developer:
CustomerAddress
CustomerNamec
Customer_Telc
...I want to include the entire list in one search, and I want gerset to search for each row individually. Example in SQL:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE column1 LIKE '%customeraddress%'
OR column1 LIKE '%customernamec%'
OR column1 LIKE '%customer_telec%'
OR column1 LIKE '%customertele_c%'
...this change would save us…

Make it available to commit custom labels that are part of a managed package
Custom Labels of managed packages do not show up in the comparison because they cannot be changed and therefore are not deployable. However, the (override) translations of these Custom Labels do show up and are deployable. It is possible to deploy & commit the translations but this poses an issue if you commit to git since gearset suggests to leave them out of the commit because they are missing a dependency. If you ignore the suggestion and commit them anyway, they'll be removed the next time the repo cleaner runs. This way, it cannot reliably be kept in git.

Remove/Deactivate new feature for batch comparison
A few weeks ago, Gearset added a new feature to officially make the comparison faster, by showing already results of first batch and add the rest later on.
This feature makes it much more difficult to do comparisons. First of all, I don't see any benefit. I still need to wait for the whole comparison to finish, because I still need to now, what has changed. Why should I look into the first things, when I need to look into it again, after the rest is compared. So before I can select anything, I need to wait the whole time…

Show Formula Comparisons line by line
When comparing formulas (in validations, formula fields, workflow criteria...) the comparison should be done line by line.
Considering the whole formula a block and only showing that "something" has changed in the formula is not useful when looking for conflicts between environments.
When pushing changes between environments, admins are checking to make sure they are not overwriting other changes with their update. They most probably know the formula has changed (that was their job) but they need to ensure no unwanted changes are added/deleted from the target environment.
In long formulas with many lines (potentially >100) it's not easy to…

Saved Comparisons should be visible to team members
I have a team that has access to Gearset but unfortunately they cannot view the Saved Comparisons I've created. To reduce unnecessary time spent on creating and maintaining Saved Comparisons, it would be greatly appreciated if the Saved Comparisons could be shared with the team and possibly allow the owner to delegate access to the Saved Comparisons.

Inline editing of metadata
The idea above was "closed" due to Environment Variables.
That feature is too fiddley for our use case as the change that needs to be performed is not consistent. Furthermore, that feature does not help with handling merges.
Gearset has some merging capabilities, but it only allows to select one file or another, instead of merging changes from both files.
I'm aware it is possible to perform merges from source control, though it would be easier to train our team if they did not have to learn another technology. Furthermore, it leaves the process to more faults as the…

Activity Task Event field level security validation in Profile
Hi Gearset Team,
I would like to have a metadata validation for profile field level security involving Activity, Task, Event object as they are related to each other in Salesforce.
For example:
If we do a retrieve for Activity, Task, Event object along with profile. In the profile metadata it would specify this:
<fieldPermissions>
<editable>true</editable>
<field>Task.FieldX__c</field>
<readable>true</readable>
</fieldPermissions>However, if there were to be a mistake in the profile metadata and we commit them in version control it is detected as a 'new item' in Compare and Deploy
<fieldPermissions>
<editable>true</editable>
<field>Activity.FieldX__c</field>
<readable>true</readable>
</fieldPermissions>When we select this new changes and…

Force-deploy Flow translations with no difference
At the root of this, the main problem is that if you create a new flow version through the SFDC flow editor interface, the flow will have a new version of the flow translations based on the previous translations.
But if you DEPLOY a flow, the new flow version is created WITHOUT flow translations at all.
This would be fine, if gearset would allow us to reliably deploy the flow WITH flow translations, even if the flow translations had "no changes". (Gearset does not allow us to deploy items with no change, and sometimes doesn't even show them in the…

Make Custom Filters a Top-Level Menu Item
Filters are arguably the best part of gearset, especially with the support for RegEx. It is kind of a bummer that they are tucked away in a modal that can only be reached by clicking into a dropdown. Ideally you could just go to Hamburger > Metadata Deployments > Custom Filters and be routed to a dedicated page.

Delegate Access by Comparison
Provide an additional delegate access option: be able to grant this at a comparison level to a user vs at the org level (situation is predominately experienced for Production comparisons/deployments). Granting access at an org level gives too much access (CI jobs, etc) for some users so it would be ideal to have a narrower scope.

Show "All" Different Items
Instead of a tab showing 'All Items', even items that are the same, maybe show a tab of All Different Items, which would show New, Deleted, and Changed in a single view without having to sift through the 'All Items' for these.

Allow users set their own default tab view when viewing the comparison between orgs
The recent change (March '22) to change the default tab when viewing a comparison from Changed Items to 'All Items' makes it more difficult to quickly see changes, because maybe there aren't any. The All Items list would also be extremely long if the org is particularly complex.
As such, I propose that you give users the ability to select their own default tab when the comparison page loads, so we can choose to always view 'New' or 'Changed' items.4 votes -
Add option to load missing dependeces only.
Example:
When I already selected metadata filter with many items, downloaded metadata, compared, checked, and clicked deploy then I am getting an error that some dependency is missing but it is metadata type that wasn't selected previously.Currently:
I need to click refresh comparison select additional metadata types and reload all metadata from both sandboxes. It is very time and resource consuming with big packages.As a solution:
I want to have the possibility to click a button and select on the metadata list only those that I want to add to the current package and only those should be…2 votes -
Field Dependencies for Reports
When deprecating a field and replacing it with a new one, we need to be able to see where they are used in all reports, including private folders, which the "Where is this used?" feature does not detail.

Support Email Template Folder metadata migration
Metadata API for EmailTemplateFolder does not accept wildcards so you have to know the name of the folder to be able to pull it down and migrate it. Currently (as of 2-16) the Gearset product cannot pull these.
Suggest that they add functionality to make a SOQL call to get all the folder names, at which point they should be able to pull them. Allowing for compare and deployment.

Ignore Business Owner changes between Sandboxes
This was marked as "Completed" in https://gearset.uservoice.com/forums/283474-help-us-improve-gearset/suggestions/39507649-resolve-data-owner-user-metadata-from-difference
But really the issue remains.
When "Business owner" is populated in a field, it will show as "different" since the XML is showing username, which is different between sandboxes.
This make trying to do comparisons to find differences very challenging.

comparison between 3 or more ORGs
i would like to see in a future update about comparing 3 or more Orgs to possibly fine tune checks between production, and multiple sandboxes to make sure everything looks as needed to verify no sandboxes are overlooked for refreshes if needed.

Add Comparison Column for "Environment"
Add a column for "Environment" which signifies which environment the change took place. For instance, this would tell you whether the changes took place in Production Only, Sandbox Only, or both.
Then, I could filter by Sandbox Only and both to see only the changes I made recently in the sandbox that I need to push to Production. Right now, I have to sift through the many little changes to items that occurred in Production.

Filter Column Sub-Levels
If I filter a column, it does not apply those filters if I open the sub-levels of an item such as "Depends on" or "Used by". For instance, if I filter OUT under the "Difference Type" column "No Difference," when I search through those sub-levels, it should not show me items that are "No difference."
