  1. 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

  2. Improve Deployment Information in Notifications

    I've tried both Email and Teams integrations and the actual information in the message (or attached PDF for Email) is lacking, with only great piece being the branch name.

    An option to get advanced details that could provide some of the below (but not limited to):
    - Actual Links - Atleast with Gitlab Self-Managed, we just get a text-based message referencing a merge request.
    - Commits / Original MR - For those deployed via a Pipeline, getting the original MR (our pipeline is dev org > QA > UAT > Staging > Production, with the Dev Org > QA being…

  3. Export Deployment History Additional Information

    It would be great if the Deployment History was able to provide details from Source Control. Specifically, list of people who approved tickets, branch names, commit IDs, etc.

  4. Better Automated Pipeline MRs

    The MRs that get opened for pushing the same work through pipeline aren't very helpful. Would love to link back to the original MR which would have more of the "approvals". Right now we end up having to re-approve everything like its from scratch. Insight and auditability (maybe even bringing up who approved the original MR/etc would be great)

  5. Better Multi-Org Support

    We have 3 separate Production orgs for our company. It would be ideal if when we logged into Gearset we had a toggle to choose which production org and then all views, pipelines, connected orgs, etc. were filtered.

  6. Granular Permissions

    Most of our users don't need to be doing any configuration outside of connecting their Dev Sandbox. Prefer to have more granular permissions to lock down features to smaller groups of users.

  7. Show all Github requirements to merge in the Gearset pull request view.

    We have required approvals enabled on PRs in Github. Currently when viewing a Pull Request in the Gearset Pipelines view, it does not show that a PR is blocked from being merged because at least one code review approval is needed in Github. This leads to accidentally attempting to "promote" in Gearset and then the Pull Request merge fails. We would like to see these (and any other Github requirements) showing up in Gearset so we are informed which PRs are approved and ready to promote.

  8. Integrate with Agile Accelerator instead of just Jira

    Integrate with Agile Accelerator instead of just Jira.
    It would be great if Gearset (and ideally the Pipelines-feature) could integrate with Agile Accelerator.

    Since we're a Salesforce-partner we want to use as many Salesforce-native solutions. That's why we've been happily using Agile Accelerator for many years.

    It would be great if Gearset can also integrate with Agile Accelerator instead of just Jira.
    Right now the Gearset Pipelines feature isn't useful to us, because of this sole reason.

    Thanks for considering this!

  9. Gearset VS Code Extension

    My development team spend their time in VS Code where they can see all their Git information etc. It would be great to have a Gearset plugin to stop them having to switch windows and allow them to have information at their fingertips. This could also encourage more developer use of Gearset.
    May display:
    - Build status
    - Static code analysis issues
    - View of pipeline

  10. 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.

  11. Include Pull Request title in the notification

    Hello GS team,

    Currently, the notifications from the pull request validations only include the PR number, I would like to request if it's possible to include the PR title.

    Current Sample: [Gearset] CI validation job Validation job for PR #11111 failed

    With the title in the subject of the notification, we can FW the results to the right teams automatically.

    Thank you!

  12. Gearset CPQ deployment to delete target org component if source is deleted

    Example in CPQ template you have situation when you need delete from source org component (content, line column etc.)
    Now you have to delete this in target org as post deployment task.

  13. Add api version check validation

    We have experienced quite a few errors when a metadata component is developed in a sandbox that has been updated to the preview api version but production hasn't been updated to that version yet. Our entire pipeline and PR validation process works perfectly until the very last step when deploying to production. It's very difficult to deal with at that point.

  14. 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.

  15. Export and Import Gearset metadata filters to other Gearset instances

    This idea feels relevant to Gearset customers that are consultants or in professional services teams.

    Our team will be managing multiple instances of Gearset for various clients. During the initial setup and also over the long term maintenance of those instances, it would be ideal to standardize the custom metadata filters being used. The base filters would be the same starting point for all instances, because of the references to namespaces and certain metadata types involved in our projects.

    Currently, the filters will need to be part of the post-instance setup steps. It would be ideal to be able to…

  16. Download Package Option does not include custom fields.

    Just wanted to flag that the Download package option would be so much handier if it also included custom fields. Even with custom fields selected in my comparison, the package.xml that I can export only includes the Objects.

  17. Allow multiple connections to the same source control system

    Currently you can setup as many salesforce orgs as you would like as a source/target but you do not allow the same with VCS/Source control systems.

    For example, I can only tie a single account to a single bit bucket. What if you have muiltiple bitbucket accounts that have different accesses to different repos - there is now way to do this in gearset.

    You should expand the source control systems to be just like the salesforce orgs - you can configure and share as many as you would like for the same or different systems.

  19. 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

  20. 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.
