Spacing in formulas
This was marked as completed in https://gearset.uservoice.com/forums/283474-help-us-improve-gearset/suggestions/34690018-preserve-spacing-in-formulas but seems to be broken again. Formulas or criteria in WF are deployed without carriage returns, which makes formulas very messy to work with.

Deployment Notes Persist on Failure
When a deployment fails, deployment notes are sometimes wiped, and it is laborious to retype them - sometimes, I'll copy and paste to Notepad before deploying because I know I'm going to have to type them again. Notes should persist, or at least be configurable, from one comparison run through successful deployment.

Add a note against individual components in a draft deployment
While comparing two Org's for differences and saving the 'Draft deployment':
Files that I'm sure and fine with the differences and happy - so tick them.
Files that are important to be deployed but I am yet to discuss those differences with some peers from team (dev / support). I would like to mark these (or / and) comment against these - with some useful notes (ex: impact or risk analysis related notes). Once these are discussed, I can then tick them - indicating I am happy to deploy these.
Once I mark the files as either 1 or 2…

When migrating ReportFolders, either remove running user or let me map users between Sandboxes/environments
When migrating ReportFolders, either remove running user or let me map users between Sandboxes/environments
The SharedTo User doesn't exist in the target org causing my deployment to fail.

When we have the problem analyzer suggest to remove things (like fields) an option to also add that field would be great
Having the ability to add a field instead of just remove it et al in the problem analyzer would be sweet

Add Metadata Filter Requirements/dependencies for Deploying Product Records via CPQ
It would be really helpful if Gearset provided a dedicated document that clearly outlines all metadata filters required to successfully deploy Product records through Salesforce CPQ. Having a reference would make deployments more predictable, reduce trial‑and‑error, and improve consistency across teams especially who use pipelines. Adding this documentation to the platform would streamline CPQ-related deployments and save users significant time.

Check for ID-like values in source metadata files.
When deploying from source, it would be helpful if you were able to search for values that look like salesforce object IDs stored in metadata that might not exist in the target. You may already do this but we had an ID buried in a flow input value that wasn't flagged and which deployed correctly but which didn't run successfully after deployment.

Improve UI of Analyser, 'Some items reference components that aren't in the target'
This analyser, does provide suggestions on metadata items to be included, but it does not mention the why.
Today I got the suggestion to include something, which I had no intent to include, but I could not find WHY, Gearset would like me to add this to the deploy.
Providing the reason, makes it easier to adjust the deployment, maybe remove an item, or uncheck something I accidently added to the deployment.

Problem Analyzer while building the deployment
Surface problems with building the deployment to allow users the correct in the deployment.

Problem Analyzer should remove picklist values from record types when picklist values are removed from the picklist or value set.
When removing or deactivating a picklist value, Problem Analyzer should remove these values from any record types that reference them. While the initial deployment of the picklist may succeed, subsequent deployments of the referencing record types will fail if they still reference a deactivated picklist value.

add Dashboard owner to Problem Analysis to use user deploying instead in xml ref
Spring '24 Salesforce added ability to change Owner on a Dashboard https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_rd_dashboards_change_owner.htm&release=248&type=5
"Previously, you had to clone or re-create the dashboard to provide access to a new owner."
This can now cause deployment errors when the Owner is changing between environments if the Uesr does not exist, similar to runningUser user references. Problem Analysis accounts for the latter, but not the Owner. Could we add the Owner scenario to this analysis rule?

apex classes dependencies
When deploying an apex class, check for dependencies. Currently it attempts to deploy even if there are missing fields and only reports missing fields one at a time. Very tedious to address.

Add to Problem Analysis option to auto remove DelegatedAccount tab settings
Add to Problem Analysis option to auto remove DelegatedAccount tab settings since it's an invalid tab and can cause validation/deployment errors. This saves a step of having to change Custom Object filter to Named Items and manually exclude DelegatedAccount when moving new profiles.

Highlight "Failed Validation" Components
If the metadata Deployment Validation step fails, and the user clicks the "Back to Comparison" button, the components that caused the failure should be highlighted on the screen for manual review.
Currently, when a deployment fails on the validation step, my process is:
- Wait until the Validation step is done
- Sort by the Status to show Failures on top
- Take a screenshot of the list of errors (hopefully less than a full screen of errors)
- Click the "Back to Comparison" button
- Use the screenshot like a checklist to work through the errors
- Run Validation…1 vote -
Enable data fixes when migrating Vlocity datapacks
When the data in the source and target environments are aligned, deploying Vlocity datapacks with Gearset can be quite straightforward.
However at times when they are not, deployments can fail catastrophically with the documented solution requiring the use of tools provided by Vlocity / Salesforce Industries in their Vlocity Build Tool : https://github.com/vlocityinc/vlocity_build. The alternative is to try manually resolving the issues, which can be an uphill struggle when you consider complexities around products, such as their hierarchy, availability and pricing.
For Gearset to truly be a one-stop tool for Salesforce Industries deployments, please enable data fix functionalities in…

False error - 'Field permission cannot be set for Required Fields'
Deploying few field permissions through CI, there is an error 'Field permission cannot be set for Required Fields' in the Problem Analyzer, but actually the fields are not marked as Required in the target. Lead.Pronoun, Lead.GenderIdentity fields.

allow configuration of problem analysers for different target locations
If we could turn of problem analysers for specific locations (e.g. Git repos) this would allow us to remove irrelevant problem solutions from our git commits, but keep them for deployments

package missing -meta.xml endings
When I download a package from a CI Job, it doesn't include the require "-meta.xml" ending for my metadata types. I wrote the following script to add them back one folder at a time. It would make more sense if Gearset just gave me the correct filenames when I download the package though.
…# Gearset gives us a downloadable package to trouble shoot, # but it doesn't have the -meta.xml text appended to it. # Find all files with this ending and append -meta.xml to it. find ./ -type f -name '*.flow' | xargs -I '{}' mv '{}' '{}'-meta.xml find1 vote
