  1. Archiving and restore process

    Data archiving for storing records that can be easily accessed when marked as archived at an off-premise location. A backup and restore would be overkill when there is a need to store only partial records or a combination of fields from records in different objects. Restoring to a new object that does not interfere with existing objects would be ideal.

  2. Manually Delete Metadata after CI job runs

    We don't want the CI job to delete metadata, so we've unchecked that box. However, when a CI job runs that would have deleted data, we'd like to be able to select from the job history, review what would have been deleted and elect to deploy the deletion manually post CI run. We can re-run the comparision from Compare and Deploy, but having this action tracked within the CI job history would be more convenient, and would allow the history for the target org to be contained in the same thread.

  3. Force a full production backup, and forbid its deletion

    I was not able to buy this tool because to me it was a blocker that we have the right to delete the production backup.
    I may agree that the we don't force for a full backup, but leaving the option to descope tables is equivalent as not backing up.
    Force at least an initial configuration and allow only to add more scope to the backup, but never to reduce it or delete without contacting your support who should get an authorization from more than one person on the client side.

    If I'm an admin at salesforce, and an admin…

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. Show JIRA issue summary when attaching a JIRA issue to a deployment

    when Deploying metadata and linking it JIRA Issue it will be a good idea to have more Jira Issue fields visible not just the Jira Issue key(id).l would like to have Issue "Summary" field Visible

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. Filter Column Sub-Levels

    If I filter a column, it does not apply those filters if I open the sub-levels of an item such as "Depends on" or "Used by". For instance, if I filter OUT under the "Difference Type" column "No Difference," when I search through those sub-levels, it should not show me items that are "No difference."

  13. Filter users for monitoring notifications

    Hey,

    Would be very beneficial if in monitoring tab, we could filter out users that we get the notifications about.

    For example, we don't want to receive changes that changes have been made in a Salesforce org if these changes are a deployment, but we would be interested to see if any users with Setup permissions are making changes to fields, objects etc.

  14. 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.

  16. 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. Ability to Template Scratch Org Settings

    It would be great if it was possible to template the scratch org creation screen.

    We have a lot of managed packages that need to be installed and having to enter the ID and Key every time is very time consuming.

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

    Right now, I am only aware of having to purchase an add-on from Salesforce to be able to get this information.

  20. 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.
