Provide link from standard field to Standard Value Set
Some of the standard picklist fields in Salesforce have their values defined in Standard Value Sets. This means when you add a new value in the Salesforce UI, for example in the Type field of the Case object, that you are actually editing the CaseType Standard Value Set and not the Case Custom Object.
Gearset detects all these differences, but it isn't obvious why Case.Type appears as unchanged in a Gearset comparison. It would be better if Gearset showed some help text in the Case.Type object definition that pointed me to some help docs or linked me to the exact…

Show Workflow Activities As Dependency of Parent Workflow
When selecting a Workflow Rule, its dependent components (i.e., email alerts) are not shown in the dependency view. They should be.

Warn if a selected metadata type is not supported by selected API version
In the custom filters dialog, if you select a metadata type that is not supported by the API version, the compare and deploy currently just silently ignores that item, giving the impression that the compare has failed. e.g. selecting "Duplicate rule" with metadata version prior to 38.0.
It would be good for Gearset to provide a warning if a selected metadata type is not supported by the selected API version.

Dependency Engine enhancement for Sharing Rules
Dependencies with sharing rules. Roles/Groups/Fields referenced in sharing rules may be helpful to add as "dependent" on as if they are not in the destination org you cannot deploy.

Scroll to top of category, when switch between All Items, Changed Items etc
Just a user preference item – when you switch tabs (ex: New Objects to Deleted Objects), it doesn’t place you at the top of the window.
So if I scroll down through all the New Objects and then switch tabs to the Deleted Objects, it just places me in the same relative location as I was in the New Objects tab.
It would be nice to have it reset to the top of each window when I switch tabs.

Persist Selection to Include/Exclude Managed Packages in Compare 2.0
When using the new compare, the default is to exclude managed packages. However, we'd like to always include them, so it would be nice to persist the selection from one compare to the next.

Add to Flow Navigator the flow version description
It would be very handy if the new Flow Navigator view was able to display flow version description. We update this frequently to describe new changes, so being able to read this documentation in the Flow Navigator would be helpful to understanding the flow.
Adding this either as a banner along the top (like some flow xml views) or as an element in the navigator sidebar would be acceptable.1 vote -
Comparison of draft deployments
Two teams who are supposed to be working on different parts of the sandbox org have created two draft deployments. I would like to compare these draft deployments to see if there is any overlap of selected items.

Multiple sort columns for comparison results
It would be helpful to be able to sort comparison results on multiple columns (e.g. first by Metadata type, then by Name). Currently it seems that the results can only be sorted by one column at a time.

Add a date filtering mechanism on comparisons
. Currently we can select individual dates on the dropdown list or select from a select few "Last X days". Would be a great option to be able to set something like "See changes from X to Y" or "Select since X", especially useful given we have the dropdown selection on a per minute step, so the list gets very large, very quikcly.
For compliance checking, tracking who changes what when, periods of criticality (especially around new features coming in) or just for retrospectives.

exclude specific JSON keys when comparing Vlocity/Omnistudio metadata
We are seeing Omniscripts showing as different on certain JSON keys. These keys always change and should be excluded from your comparison.
The impact of this is Omniscript deployments require the LWCs to be compiled and if we deploy Omniscripts unintentionally, their LWCs are not recompiled and functionality breaks for the users.1 vote -
Deploy Now and Validate Package Buttons
Presently, the Deploy Now and Validate Package buttons are positioned adjacent to each other. Occasionally, there is a risk of unintentionally selecting the Deploy Now button before the package has been validated. This can result in potential issues arising. To address this, I recommend the following actions:
- Enable the Deploy Now button only after the Validate Package process is successfully completed.
- Consider repositioning the buttons within the User Interface if both buttons share the same screen.
- Alternatively, place the Deploy Now button after the Validate Package screen in the sequence.
Thanks.

Allow download of XML files from the comparisons page
In some instances, we have to use the Metadata API to download XML files for analysis. However, the Metadata API is a pain to use. Even Salesforce recognizes this and suggests using a migration tool like Gearset to extract these: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.246.0.api_meta.meta/api_meta/file_based.htm
Since Gearset retrieves these files during comparison, it would be great if there was an option to download them to a zip file directly.
Note: There is already a "Download Package" feature on the deployment page. However, we obviously can't add items to this page if there is no change between the orgs. So, if a similar feature were…

distinguish between components of feature branch and what is syncing to main
As a user of gearset deploying pull requests to multiple environments
I want to be able to identify actual components of the feature branch vs. what is included for syncing to main/main branch for the org being deployed to
So that there isn't the confusion of understanding what new/changes items are showing up in the commit information1 vote -
Please add Namespace/Package name as a column in the comparison view
Currently , if I pull down metadata from managed packages (e.g. with the intention of committing the custom fields we've added to managed objects or committing the permissions we've updated) this means I get all the metadata in the comparison screen, with no way of filtering out the managed packages. An example of where this is a problem/cluttering the UI is Triggers/Classes - the contents of these is always hidden, so ideally i'd like to have a column to filter them out

Integrate with Salesforce's Setup Audit Trail for Metadata Detection
Many metadata types are referenced in Salesforce's Setup Audit Trail. An alternate way to detect changes to include could be querying Setup Audit Trail with a Start / End Date instead of asking user to select the necessary components.

Remove Site.com from the Default Experience Cloud Comparison filter
The Default Experience Cloud Comparison filter include the Site.com component. This component seems to cause problems with Experience Bundle deployments. I recommend this should be removed from the Default filter.

Provide a list of Frequently Used Metadata Types for easy filtering
I often don't know which metadata types I need to include in a comparison so I don't miss anything so I often use Compare All (takes forever!). I'd like to have Gearset suggest filters based on past deployments so I can confidently compare without having to wait a long time.
