  1. Notify GitHub that checks are running sooner

    When a PR in GitHub is being validated, Gearset doesn't let GitHub know that the check is happening until after it has run the comparison between GitHub and the target org. Then the check is pending while the validation runs in Salesforce.

    This means that there is a delay between when you create a PR and Gearset's check appearing as pending in the PR. At that moment, it looks like there are no more checks to run in GitHub so you can go ahead and merge. But, you really should wait until Gearset has compared and validated the changes.

  2. Make "Hide Reodering" global switch

    Please add a feature to have globally selected "Hide Reordering" and also hide those files that have no changes after reordering from Changed Items?

    Clicking that on every file to see that there are no real differences is time consuming and slow down the comparison process.

    Scenario:
    1. I am comparing two sandboxes develop with my private sandbox to align with changes made on develop.
    2. I have comparison with many Global Value Sets, Custom fields which are Picklists, flows etc.
    3. Most of them are not changed but are listed as changes. I need to click on each metadata…

  3. Saved Comparisons should be visible to team members

    I have a team that has access to Gearset but unfortunately they cannot view the Saved Comparisons I've created. To reduce unnecessary time spent on creating and maintaining Saved Comparisons, it would be greatly appreciated if the Saved Comparisons could be shared with the team and possibly allow the owner to delegate access to the Saved Comparisons.

  4. Associated Work Items through Commit message

    As a Developer, I want to use a unique ID from the work item I am working on
    when I make a GearSet commit
    So the work item I am working with (like Jira) can have a comment stating it was deployed
    and I don't have to manually go to a separate process to update the ticket.

    Say my work items are in jira and I am working user story 100.
    There is a Jira ID that is unique to that work item.

    When I specify a commit
    instead of going through the separate process to find the work item…

  6. Allow Record type additions and removals to be selectable

    I am not a having an option to deploy the particular picklist values in the Record type level, I would like to include only the values I have added that are different from my target environment.

  7. Schedule deployment option for validation only CI jobs

    It could be good that time selection schedule option is available, makes release timetable easier to execute to target org.

    Currently user can only execute the pre validated package immediately.

  8. Allow record data load from CSV file

    While it is nice to deploy record data from org to org with Gearset, it would also be nice to be able to deploy data from a CSV file, with the ability to custom map the headers. Native Salesforce Dataloader has this capability, as well as many 3rd party tools out there. Please incorporate this capability into Gearset.

  9. Send Email when a package is Validated successfully with PDF of Deployment Summary.

    We currently receive an email with deployment summary as PDF attachment after successful deployment, but we also want this feature for successful manual validation. This is help us review the validated package summary with Deployment approval teams in our ORG.

  10. Only notify the Pull-request creator on validation errors

    Hi team, not sure if there is a way to do that in the current setup, but I think it would be helpful to add the option to only notify the Pull-request creator/owner on the validation errors, instead of "hardcoding" the email recipients. Regards, Adrian

  11. Enable a consistent, buildable set of Metadata for Releases

    I'd like to have a way to work with a consistent set of metadata items for a release, that I can add, remove etc, and consistently deploy into a variety of sandboxes and ultimately Production.

    Currently, if you clone a previous deploy, items are de-selected if they're the same between the environments being compared. That means once I've deployed, I can’t ever get that “list” of items back and I have to rebuild it every time.

    A likely scenario is that I've deployed some metadata from Sandbox A -> B. Lets say it's 5 Apex classes. I then realize that…

  12. language

    Gearset UI Language specification. Allow users to specify which language they want the UI presented in and then show the correctly translated terms in that language. When using google to translate the UI the words it chooses are not always relevant.

  13. Allow squash merge for Github PR

    We have our GitHub PR settings set to only allow Squash and Merge for PRs because we want a clean history on the long-lived branches. It seems Gearset doesn't support this, when I attempt to promote it issues an error. This should be configurable or should detect this automatically from the settings.

  14. Validation job when PRs are raised

    Requirement :
    Provide option to create a CI Validation Job only with "Validate pull requests targeting the source branch" and keep "Run Job" dropdown as optional .

    As Of Now :
    When we raise a PR, it initiates feature branch validation ( cos, we enabled "Validate pull requests targeting the source branch" ), and after that when we merge feature-branch to target branch, it re-initiates another validation job.
    For us, it's like similar validation is running twice on different events from which we can't opt out.

    Pros :

    We can handle when to validate a feature branch, instead of bundling…

  15. Consolidated Reporting for CI Jobs

    Hello. One item we struggle with is keeping track of CI Deployments that didn't fail, but didn't deploy as expected. The two causes we usually see are:

    1) Something was removed by problem analyzer
    2) We deployed something that Salesforce says succeeded, but no changes were made (e.g. deletion of picklist choices)

    We currently have about 100 CI jobs which makes it impractical to go into each one.

    The proposed format would look like a csv export:

    Job Name, Date, # Created, # Updated, # Deleted, # fixed by problem analyzer

    Opening a CI job history looks fine, but we'd…

  16. On Create Pull Request, auto populate details with commit messages

    Similar to the way Bitbucket and GitHub work, it would be nice if the PR description was autopopulated from the commit messages (1 per line)

  17. Have the Jira ticket which was selected at the point of the commit stay with the PR in Pipelines

    At the moment when you select a Jira ticket at the point of commiting to a branch, you are able to track that actionback into Jira.

    However when a PR is opened from that feature branch to the next environment branch (in the Pipelines UI specifically) the Jira ticket association is lost, and has to be reattached manually.

    Workarounds:
    1. Manually add the ticket ID to the PR description, which will reassociate it
    2. Use the drop down menu provided in the Pipelines UI to re select the Jira ticket
    3. Open the PR from the Commit successful screen…

  18. Make it available to commit custom labels that are part of a managed package

    Custom Labels of managed packages do not show up in the comparison because they cannot be changed and therefore are not deployable. However, the (override) translations of these Custom Labels do show up and are deployable. It is possible to deploy & commit the translations but this poses an issue if you commit to git since gearset suggests to leave them out of the commit because they are missing a dependency. If you ignore the suggestion and commit them anyway, they'll be removed the next time the repo cleaner runs. This way, it cannot reliably be kept in git.

  19. Disable Jira notifications for individual CI Jobs

    We like that the Jira integration posts changes to the associated Jira ticket during a deployment, but we only want notifications for specific CI Jobs. For example we want our staging and prod deployments to post a notification in our Jira ticket, but not for other jobs such as back-deployments. Each post potentially emails Jira users and we want to limit these notifications. Currently the only work around is to remove the Jira ticket association from the PR in Gearset before promoting it, and this gets tedious if you have a lot of development orgs.

  20. Include Apex classes regardless of folder

    In GitHub, Apex classes don't always have to be in a folder called "classes " to work with them. Some people using SFDX put test classes in their own folder (sometimes called "tests". Even Apex classes within the "classes" folder can be sub-grouped into folders. (Example at https://github.com/trailheadapps/apex-recipes/tree/main/force-app/main/default/classes)
    I'd like Gearset to scan the entire repository and to group metadata by its actual type, not by the folder it is in.
    I'm not talking about the sfdx-project.json saying where the metadata is located. This is within each of those locations, it should find all Apex (for example). The Apex…
