Online help for Manage custom filters
For large Orgs, doing a comparison with the default set of metadata types can take a long time, and so it is necessary to select a smaller subset of metadata types to compare.
However sometimes it is not obvious how a particular configuration change in Salesforce relates to the metadata types in the custom filters dialog, and what dependencies exist between them. For example, after changing "Override" settings in the "Transalation Workbench" in Salesforce, it is not immediately obvious that you need to select both "Custom object" and "Custom object translation" metadata types in Gearset, rather than the "Translations" metadata…
1 voteGearset now links to the metadata documentation for each Salesforce type.
If you think there is more information we should be displaying, or if you’d like some custom documentation, then just let us know!

Search for test classes
It would be nice to be able to search for test classes instead of having to type them out in a comma separated list. Gearset already has such a nice search capability and it would be great if it were applied to that dialog as well.

View deployed components from a CI Job
Display components deployed via a CI Job. In my case, there are a greater number of total objects deployed than I would have expected; but, I have no way of viewing the comparison for what is automatically being deployed.
6 votesGearset now supports viewing the underlying comparison that ran as part of your CI job.
Press the `View comparison` button beside a particular entry in the CI history to see the components

Allow search-based excluding of metadata for templates
Sometimes we have individual metadata that must be excluded-- every time-- from releases, without excluding the entire metadata category.
For our organizatin, for example, we want to exclude "Search" every time due to an error-- but we don't want to exclude the "Settings" metadata item.
It would be great if we could add specific exclusions to the template so that a specific metadata item would not even pop under the Compare screen. Doesn't really matter how it's done (fuzzy searching or specifically excluding standard items) to me.
2 votesThis work has now been completed, and you can specifiy individual items on the metadata filter.
The doc is available from https://docs.gearset.com/feature-guides/comparisons-and-deployments/custom-metadata-filters

Ability to select Field Sets as a separate item
It seems that Field Sets are deployed by deploying the object that they are related to.
This doesn't work well for me because I have admins changing objects in production, but I often need to deploy a Field Set to go with my code.
Currently, I'm jumping out of Gearset and deploying a Change Set with just the Field Sets, then coming back to Gearset to deploy my code.
It would be nice if I could select just the Field Sets and deploy them without changing anything else related to the object.
8 votesField sets are currently deployable as individual items assuming the object they belong to already exists in some form in the target. If the object the field sets belong to doesn’t exist in target yet, then it must first be partially created in the target for Gearset to be able to deploy individual sub components. Thanks for the suggestion!

Allow me to exclude metadata.
I have certain metadata which is broken or dangerous to migrate from a dev org, I'd like to exclude it from this and subsequent releases. If I could 'right click' and ignore it that would be good.

Allow multi-selection of items with CTRL or SHIFT
It would be great to be able to select multiple items in a comparison using crtl or shift click, rather than checking the boxes one by one
