Make All Items show all items in the filter
On the comparison summary the All Items tab does not show items that don't exist in either org.
It is possible to add an item that does not exist in any org (perhaps by mistyping the name of a class/object/trigger/etc.) but the All Items tab does not show those items. It would be helpful if even items that don't exist in either of the comparison orgs were displayed in the All Items list and flagged as not existing. This will make debugging problems like mistyping names easier to diagnose.
I wasted an hour of my time and that of two…

Separate the Custom Settings <object> Permissions and Metadata Type permissions from the Profile or Permission set
When promoting Custom Objects and their security, we have to look at Custom Object Permissions (after loading the respective Profiles and Permission Sets in addition to the Custom Objects). We should follow a similar model for Custom Settings and Custom Metadata Types. The reason is that, if they remain part of the Profile or Permission Set, then I have to make sure that the Profile or Permission set exactly matches what I want in the target environment - I can't have any extra Custom Settings or Metadata Types that don't exist in the target environment yet or the promotion will…

add a wrning
when adding filters in the manage custom filters section can you a check to see if the contents look like regex, and the type selected is "object name" can you pop up a warning aong the lines of "Are you sure you don't want a regex filter?"

Add a column to indicate if XML matches if order doesn't matter
See this link: https://docs.gearset.com/en/articles/2413367-why-is-xml-order-of-some-metadata-in-the-comparison-results-different
Sometimes, the XML of an item in sandbox/production can be the same, but not in the same order. This leads to false positives showing up in the list as "changed items".
I understand that sometimes order matters (eg: in picklists) but maybe there could be an additional column which shows if there are no differences if you ignore order? Maybe even a setting to turn the column on and off so it's not confusing?

Ignore sfdx-project.json file in order to compare code using Metadata API structure
I need use the sfdx-project.json file in order to integrate with VS
code, but using Metadata API structure.
Apparently, Gearset is looking for this file to define if is a metadata API or SFDX structure,So I need a ignore looking for this file, in order to compare as metadata API structure.
Thank you.

The comparison screen takes too long to load and times out with large packages.
With large packages the comparison screen takes too long to load, >15 min, and can cause Chrome browser to time out. Can we have an option to not load the details of the differences in the bottom panel, only object names and then click a button to download only difference for a particular item on-demand? I normally don't need to see the diff

Segregate metadata changes due to SFDC release
If I compare my production org to a preview sandbox that has been upgraded to the new release, I see some changed, new, and deleted items that appear to be due to the upgrade. For the most part it probably doesn't make sense (or isn't possible) to deploy those differences in either direction, so it would be nice to be able to exclude them or have them flagged somehow.
For example, in Winter '20 several fields were added to the OpportunityContactRole object. They show up as custom fields in the comparison. If I try to deploy them to production, the…

Show summary of selected Filter conditions
Would like ability to select a saved filter and see a summary of all the 'checked' filter conditions in it. Useful in verifying a filter or shared filter before using it.

When opening a draft/clone allow updating the content filter *before* the comparison
When opening a draft deployment or cloning a deployment, please allow the option to update the content filter before running the comparison. As things are now, we have to wait for the comparison to finish before we can change the filter, and then we have to wait for the comparison to run again.

Filter (regex) on Outbound Message names within Workflows in Metadata Comparison
Our sandboxes all point to different URLs within the Outbound Message action.
We want to include workflows in our CI job that backfills production changes into test environments.
However, we cannot do this as there's no way to exclude outbound messages in the filter.
In the "Metadata Comparison Filter", you only have the option to add regex or select specific items at the object level within "Workflow".
If you apply a regex to hit the outbound message name, it doesn't actually hit that outbound message name and only searches within the object name.
You can only use regex when you're…

push new profile FLS entries into the profile file in alphabetical order
When picking up new FLS entries, by default these are added at the bottom of the list of FLS.
This causes issues when also having save jobs picking up changes, as this can result in duplicate FLS being added to a branch.
Please update code structuring, so new FLS is added in the correct place in the MD files.

Don't allow duplicate fields in comparison.
If I have a field with name example category. Somehow the same field has been added to the object xml file it needs to throw an error at the time of comparison.

Create a way to apply a regex to all currently selected metadata types when building a filter
The regex support you currently have doesn't really allow for complex (multi-match) regex matching, which is probably ok. (this would be something like grep -e 'this' -e 'that')
If I select, say 116 of the 124 metadata types identified, and then have to apply a regex pattern to each one, it gets pretty tedious. Click-paste-apply 116 times, and then 116 again for the other half of the complex match. I'd write a tool to automate configuring a filter in gearset. :)
If I "select all" then deselect the 8 types i don't want, and THEN apply a regex to all…

Allow filtering by Deployment Stage/Metadata Subset during comparison
This Gearset article describes some very logical phases for performing a large deployment:
https://docs.gearset.com/metadata-deployment-guides/splitting-a-complex-deployment-into-stagesIt would be nice if there were built-in comparisons to show each subset of metadata.
For example if you were on phase 1 of the deployment you could filter your comparison to just "Data Tier" and Gearset would pre-filter the relevant metadata.

When viewing comparisons, allow the "Export All..." to utilize existing filters
When viewing a comparison... I have various filters set to exclude certain differences like "Reports, "Permission Sets". It would be nice if you provided an option on the "Export All..." page to either export everything (disregard filters) like it does now, or to respect any filters that currently exist on the comparison so that I only see the values shown on the page based on my filters.

Suggest related metadata for selected types in filter
Gearset provides some very useful documentation on the importance of including groups of related metadata in a filter.
https://docs.gearset.com/metadata-deployment-guides/using-gearset-to-deploy-profiles
It would be very helpful if the Manage Filters dialog implemented these suggestions. For example, when a Profile is included in the filter, the user should be prompted to also select Profile Password Policy, Profile Session Setting, External Data Source, Apex pages, Layouts, and Custom Objects. Otherwise, the likelihood of Gearset assembling an accurate Profile without all of the related components will be slim.
Gearset obviously has deep knowledge of metadata semantics and dependencies. The Manage Filter page needs to reflect…

Show *all* matching items on All Items, even if they haven't been changed.
I couldn't find a field that I was looking for today, despite searching for it specifically, because it was hidden inside it's parent object. I understand that the reason for this was something to do with there being no difference on the field (and I appreciate that the reason is to avoid clogging up the screen!), but if you're searching for a specific field, I think it should really show up...
Took me bothering someone on live chat to figure out what was going on.
