  1. Delegate Access by Comparison

    Provide an additional delegate access option: be able to grant this at a comparison level to a user vs at the org level (situation is predominately experienced for Production comparisons/deployments). Granting access at an org level gives too much access (CI jobs, etc) for some users so it would be ideal to have a narrower scope.

  2. See when a commit validation was deployed or not (For CI validation Jobs)

    When you go to the validation only CI jobs section within the Continues Integration part we usually have a CI job targeting a prod environment, you can see all validations succeeded and the commit attached to such validation, each CI job run contains 3 options:
    View comparison
    View Summary
    Deploy

    Then if the validation passed and the code indeed was merged from the feature branch to the master branch (Which would have triggered the actual CI job run), how would you be able to identify wether a merged pull request was deployed or not within gearset?

    For me it's very…

  3. Expose Salesforce Validation Errors within Github PR

    Currently when a PR Validation fails (Deploy CI Job with Validate Target setting turned on), the user can click the Gearset "Details" link to go into Gearset to see the exact error.

    Many of our devs use VS Code and Github for their daily work and only rely on Gearset for the CI job. Having them jump into Gearset just to see the error is time consuming and not very intuitive for them. Sure we can find the same errors within the target org of the CI, but at that point the list of validations is large and it's hard…

  4. Allow the creation of CI Jobs against Salesforce orgs that we are delegated to, instead of needing to be owner.

    We have 2 admins that we want to be able to create all of the CI and Pipeline Jobs, even if they don't have their own credentials in a particular Salesforce org. They have Deployment delegation, and can run compare and deploys, but not set up integration jobs.

    This is then requiring us to either, provision extra licenses in each sandbox for our DevOps administrator, or have the developers create the CI jobs, which they are not comfortable with.

    And, as we start the Pipeline Pilot, we would like to leverage all of the existing CI jobs, but, that is…

  5. Users with access to same target org

    2 users both have access to the same target org with different user accounts. User A creates a package and asks User B to deploy the package on their behalf. Unless User B has been delegated access to the same org they already have access to by User A's account then User B will be unable deploy the change as they receive the error

    "To deploy you need deployment level permissions from the owner of the target"

    Workaround to this security constraint was to download a copy of the package and deploy using Workbench.

  7. Delta only validation CI jobs

    Idea is to have the Delta CI for Validation only Job, so the as well, so the validation process will become faster .

    The option of validating a PR in the deployment job does the same task, but is comparing too many items of metadata and it is taking too long.

  8. Trigger a Gearset CI deployment from an Azure DevOps release approval event

    Right now Gearset supports the set up of webhooks into azure devops which trigger deployments when a branch is updated.

    I'm looking for an extension to that feature to also include "approval completed" steps. These are already available to hook into within Azure DevOps, so I'm hoping it'd should be a relatively small piece of work to extend GS to support this

  9. Support Email Template Folder metadata migration

    Metadata API for EmailTemplateFolder does not accept wildcards so you have to know the name of the folder to be able to pull it down and migrate it. Currently (as of 2-16) the Gearset product cannot pull these.

    Suggest that they add functionality to make a SOQL call to get all the folder names, at which point they should be able to pull them. Allowing for compare and deployment.

  10. New Feature: Filter Custom Fields (and other sub-components) in Comparison Filters

    I'd like to be able to exclude certain custom fields from my comparison.

    For example we have fields that have environmental differences between orgs that we don't want to deploy. There are also random fields on standard objects that show up as "different" even though they aren't and it would be nice to filter them out.

  11. Add tool to send emails after deploying to specific targets

    A project manager on my team expressed desire to receive reports when someone deploys to our production org. I would appreciate a tool that sends these emails only upon successful deployment to that specific org so that recipient's inbox is not flooded with every successful and failed deployment to every org.

  12. Create GitHub App as alternative to GitHub OAuth

    Gearset currently uses OAuth to connect to GitHub, and the way that works is that the OAuth connections have permissions to all repositories that my user has access to, which from a security perspective is a problem, because if the github key were ever compromised, it would provide very broad access to customers GitHub organizations.

    Security teams would feel much better with the ability to limit the scope of access to just one repo instead of all the repos that my GitHub user has access to, which can be accomplished by creating a Github App which can be installed for…

  14. Create JIRA ticket when CI Job runs sucessfully

    I undrestand that gearset can update status, comment and attach report to an existing JIRA ticket once a deployment is successful, but it would be nice to have a feature that would automatically create a JIRA ticket once the CI Job runs, and deployment is successful, for reporting and internal auditing

  17. It would great to be able to monitor certain user actions, such as exporting a report in Salesforce.

  18. Allow retention policies to be set on individual core objects

    It would be useful to be able to set individual retention policies on core objects, rather than on the entire backup job. This is for an old org (c.10 years), ideally you'd be able to set differing retention policies on different objects; e.g accounts after 7 years but contacts after 5 years.

  19. Ability to recreate a reusable list or group for Deployment notifications

    Every week we have a larger sized scheduled deployment for logic updates that runs after business hours. There's usually the same 2-6 people (often increasing) that want to receive an email and/or text message when the deployment succeeds. Whoever schedules the deployment has to add each one manually every time, and it would be nice to have a way to send notifications to a predefined list or group of email addresses and/or phone numbers.

    It usually has to be the person that schedules the deployment, because if someone goes back to add their own email or phone to an already…

  20. Meta Comparison Filter Based on User and/or Timeframe

    It would be great if there was a way to create a metadata comparison filter, and not just filter with regard to metadata types, but also filter by which user made the change, or the timeframe when the change was made? For instance, it'd be great if I could create a filter based on changes I made within the past 30 days, or a specific timeframe. Filtering by metadata types takes very long for large orgs, even if I reduce the metadata types down to 1 or 2.
