  1. disable the ability to delete backups to prevent malicious actors and accidental damage

    A lot of backup providers offer the ability to disable the ability to delete backups. This provides protection for 2 scenarios:

    1. A hacker compromises an administrator account and uses this access to remove backups to prevent recovery after ransomware or other attack

    2. An administrator accidentally deletes backups that are required

    If there is a legitimate use case for backups to be deleted, the ability to delete can be temporarily turned on but only by contacting support and only with the confirmation of 2 or more admins.

  2. 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 information

  3. Ability to export the unit test coverage in the json format and push it to the repository automatically

    The sfdx CLI has the ability to generate a report of the unit test coverage in JSON format with the default naming convention test-result-codecoverage.

    I would like to be able to retrieve this JSON file and push it automatically to the repository on every unit test execution.

    As an example please find a possible sfdx command to achieve it: - sfdx force:apex:test:report --testrunid 7075J00001NZBNIQA5 -c -r json -d folderDirectory #testRunID is the value from the ApexTestResult obj AsyncApexJobId field
    Please find more information on the official salesforce documentation about it https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_testing.htm

  4. Run pull request validation against a different sandbox than the one linked to the target org

    Hi team,

    We have multiple developers creating PRs against a common development branch (let's call it simple, develop; developers are creating their feature branches from master, the Production configuration branch). Develop branch is linked to an integration environment (called INT). INT environment contains multiple stories which are not yet in Production (some of them might go in Production, some will not go).

    I would like to get my PRs validated in a Production-copy environment (called BUILDCHK) just to get a real feedback on how "deployable" are my changes in Production, for whenever their time will come.

    It would be great…

    Create a link in the main menu under Data Deployments for managing Data Deployment Templates. Having to start a deployment in order to manage the templates is not very intuitive.

  6. Add the checks on the PR for the deployment

    Currently, gearset doesn't provide the checks on the PR for the deployment CI job. It would be nice to have the checks of the deployment status along with a link to the comparison on the PR, similar to how we can link out to the validation job

  7. Incorporate Relationship Graph into metadata deployment

    Right now is it not possible to deploy Relationship Graph metadata according to https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_relationshipgraphdefinition.htm with Gearset. This metadata is required for the so called Actionable Relationship Center, which is part of Financial Services Cloud. Even though the meta data is available in the Vlocity filter in Gearset, the items we are looking for doesn't fall under that one. If selected, no meta data get retrieved and therefore no deployment happens.

  8. Automatically Defer Sharing Calculations

    Salesforce has a feature to "Defer Sharing Calculations" ( https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_sharing_defer_sharing_calculations.htm&type=5 )

    It would be awesome if Gearset Pipelines could have an option to utilize this, if sharing rules are included in Deployment, defer sharing rules for any validation / deployment, re-enable and recalculate after deployment

  9. Cleanup Layout Assignments

    When you rename a Layout, the previous Layout Assignment won't be cleaned up on the Profile.
    This should be cleaned by the Repo dependency cleaner.

  10. Include "Messages reported by Salesforce" during Metadata Deployment in the final report

    During a metadata deployment, on the "deployment in progress" screen, there is a column for "message reported by salesforce".

    I think these should be included in the final results screen, and perhaps in the deployment report.

    These can be useful for the user to do things like make changes to their flows to conform to salesforce best practices.

  11. 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

  12. Gearset Service Status Page

    It would be very useful to see a status page for Gearset services. Similar to other service platforms like Github (https://www.githubstatus.com/) or Salesforce trust (trust.salesforce.com)

    This would be great to help determine if there are issues with deployments, or if Gearset has any sort of performance degradation.

  13. Ability to rerun deployments

    We had a deployment in a pipeline that included a change in a managed package. the MR to the environment branch has the permission set change (access to a managed package field), but the Pipeline did not deploy it. It would be great if there was a way to "re-run" an already promoted branch, as we can't use a MR at this point to trigger, since the repository already has the change.

  14. Feature vs Release, Branch De-sync

    When Gearset detects that additional changes have been made to a feature branch AFTER the feature branch was already added to a Release, strange behavior may be experienced.

    Coming from a git background, I expected anything on the release branch would be ready to go on my deployment, but that is not what happened during my release window.

    Admittedly there were some features that had changes pushed to the feature branch after perhaps the feature branch should have been closed, namely after it was on the Release branch. However there's also an argument that we should trust whats on the…

  15. Provide deployment history by Salesforce ID or My Domain

    If we could have a way to quickly export all changes to specific environments regardless of user who created the connection, would be ideal.

    Use case: Provide a Production OrgID and be able to export all changes across all connections and manual compare-and-deploy and pipeline deployments.

  16. Make the PR Title same as the validation friendly name and deployment friendly name

  17. Allow Jira Ticket Association Changes on Commits

    Please allow the Jira Ticket Associated with a Commit to be updated once the Commit is Successful. If a mistake was made prior to commit and the incorrect ticket was entered, there is not currently a way to change/adjust the associated ticket to the correct one.

  18. Add navigation options to the data deployment process

    We are making use of the data deployment tool to seed our sandboxes with test data. When you execute a template it always navigates you to the last step (which makes sense). There are times however that we need to go back to the 2nd step and change filter criteria. This includes several clicks and waiting for pages to load.
    Is it possible to add a navigation bar at the top that shows the various steps so you can quickly jump to one you need to update?
    ie Step 1 > Step 2 > Step 3 > etc

  19. 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.

  20. Create a Combined view of Monitoring and Pipeline with Alerts

    Monitoring is great, but doesn't have a correlation to Gearset deployments (direct or Pipeline).

    A view of all changes to org and call-outs of which were Gearset-driven and which were manual would allow us to use Gearset more directly in SOX audits as proof of controls.

    Giving us actionable items, whether its in Gearset UI or Source Control to document review and approval of manual changes would be a huge win.
