Dependency-Aware Deployment Sequencing in Gearset
Currently, deployments in Gearset can fail when interdependent metadata components are deployed simultaneously without respecting their dependencies. For example, deploying a new Lightning page that references a report or dashboard will fail if both are included in the same deployment, as the referenced report or dashboard does not yet exist in the target org.
While the current workaround is to manually split deployments into separate feature branches based on dependencies, a more intuitive approach would be for Gearset to detect these dependencies automatically when multiple related components are included in a deployment. The tool could then offer options to handle…

Provide the ability to get a deployment report on multiple deployment packages
Instead of having to download the deployment report individually for multiple deployments, I would like to be able to select multiple deployments and download one report that contains a list of all files that were deployed as part of the multiple deployments. It is too cumbersome to manually download a report or .csv for each deployment and then copy/paste the info into one location so that I can get a comprehensive list of all files that were deployed.

After a package is validated, link to the Salesforce Deployment ID
Gearset already does this for a deployed package, that on the Deployment Summary page it shows the Salesforce ID of that deployment. Can we provide the Salesforce ID for a validation build against a Salesforce environment as well?

sandbox seeding size
When deploying data to sandboxes, it would be helpful to get an approximation of the amount of data and file space a seeding job will need. I have on numerous occasions hit storage limits as a developer sandbox only has 200 megabytes of usable space.

Please add support for GenAI objects
Backups are currently failing when GenAI metadata objects are selected. Please add support so that we can backup agentforce related metadata.

Seed Data alongside Feature Branch Promotions to Orgs
The idea is to bundle the data that should be tested along with the feature branch, so that once a story is deployed the data is also available (similar to one of Copado's features).
This allows us to test regardless of dev, partial or full copy sandbox type. Allow for a set of data to go along with a feature for testing reports and analytical tools. Possibly integrate existing Seeding Templates that can be paired with a feature branch. Allow for configuration of data deployments to environments through the CI job for feature+data deployments. Allowing some environments to refuse the…

add the name of the draft deployment somewhere on the comparison view
Allow the user to be able to see the name of a draft deployment somewhere on the screen when in the comparison view. Often times, team member will share links to draft deployments but we have to follow up in order to find the actual name of it.
Since the user is taken to the comparison view when they click on a draft deployment link, the name should be visible somewhere on that comparison view page. Even better if that name can also be copied to clipboard.

Don't mark data deployment as successful if some records were excluded due to invalid picklist values
Currently if you deploy data and one object had records excluded, the top of the window says "Deployment completed successfully." However, in reality, part of the deployment was NOT successful. The only way to find out is to find that the record is missing or to slowly scroll looking for yellow exclamation. This should be extremely obvious since it's a failed deployment.

Add Pre/Post Deployment steps for Data deployments
Some data deployments require manual steps pre and or post deployment.
Scenario we had was that a rule for whatever reason couldn't be turned off by GS so I had to manually switch it off or the deployment failed then back on after it deployed,

Allow IN Operator for Data Deployments
When filtering for specific records with ID's, would be handy to have an IN operator for record selection.

Allow out of order Update deployment
Currently you can only deselect and select update elements in an order. For example I have 3 recent updates ordered 1 to 3. One being the oldest and first update and 3 being the newest and last update. The current functionality would require me to select item 1 if I wanted to also update item 2. And if I wanted to update item 3 I would have to select all the items before it.
I would like to select each one individual no matter there deployment history. Often I need to do this because the updates have no relation to…

Allow filtering of records for data deployments via a SOQL
Would like to be able to run a SOQL to select the records to base a data deployment from, in many cases we are trying to build some test data that matches specific scenarios based on fields on parent or related objects.
The current selection of field filters doesn't give us the flexibility we need. For most of our data deployments to sandboxes today we run a data load in prod to set a field to true on the base object from a SOQL and then use that field to filter in the data deployment.

In a data deploy, allow filtering data by previously deployed parent objects.
For example, instead of "Only deploy Opportunity records that are children of the Account.Opportunities records that are being deployed" which filters opportunities by the accounts in the same deploy. You would have two deploys. The first would deploy accounts. The second would filter opportunities by those accounts already in the target org.
This would allow you to modularize deploys. You might want to mix and match subsets of data for specific projects. It would allow working around some of the shortcomings of the account hierarchy gearset magic. If there were transient errors (like exclusive locks) you could repeat a smaller…

Include CPQ Favorite objects in the supported objects
CPQ includes Favorite objects as part of the package but Gearset doesn't support them. These can be shared proactively with users so they don't have to make their own Favorites. We make these in a sandbox along with new CPQ product configurations and would like to be able to push these up to production along with the new configs.

deploy user records via REST api
Currently there is no way to deploy user records via Gearset because the Data Deployment feature uses the Bulk API. This is painful for those cases when we have sandbox testers that we need to move between sandboxes!! Please add the ability to deploy users via REST API.

Change Order of Steps for Data Deploys
When configuring a data deployment, currently "Planning Deployment Steps" is the last step, but this is where I often encounter the "Error while planning deployment" because of recursion/etc. That means I need to back up through the previous 4 steps, adjust, and then go BACK through the related objects, data masking, disable rules steps before it will try again.
The disable rules step in particular takes some time, making this a really tedious cycle to repeat.
I understand needing the related objects step before validating the deployment, but if the order changed to:
- Select Objects,
- Select Related Objects
- Plan Deployment…

Please introduce an external ID in the background as some other products do. This would make it flawless.
Without the external ID, your solution is time consuming and prone to troubleshooting errors.

add a column for file sizes and show a warning message if over the limit (might happen deploying content assets)
Recently when deploying a large amount of content assets, I ran into a issue where the deployment would freeze on caching metadata for faster comparison.
Support told me the deployment size was too large and I broke it up into smaller deployments. I suggest adding a column with file sizes and perhaps a warning message if you exceed the deployment limits.
