Retain source control branch selection when cancelling a comparison
If you click "compare now" and then click "cancel" before it finishes, the "compare metadata" screen retains your selection for orgs, but does not retain the branch selection for source control.
It defaults to the first branch by alphabetical order versus what I selected before I cancelled. This can cause confusion for users who do not notice.
1 voteThis has now been implemented and should have the expected behaviour

Rerun Github validation on a PR without a new commit
When a CI job is set to run on a PR creation, if the source destination is missing something that the deploy requires, it will fail. To solve this, we must go to the source destination, make settings changes, and then make an empty commit to the pull request to re-run the CI.
It would be nice for there to be a link or button in Gearset to rerun the CI and update the Pull Request that the validation was successful.
2 votesIn the ‘continuous integration dashboard’ in Gearset, for ‘validate pull request’ jobs, there is a ‘run now’ play button to run the job manually. You can therefore update the target and then re-run the PR validation without needing an additional commit.
To be able to run the ‘validate pull request’ job manually, you need to have permission to run the parent CI job manually (e.g. be the job owner).

Exclude LWC Jest files from validation and deployment
We introduced LWC - Jest tests for our project, which seems to cause validation errors with Gearset.
As per Salesforce recommendations it is recommended to keep jest tests only locally and in VCS and avoid trying to push them to SF as they would cause validation errors.
Is there an forward path that allows us to tell Gearset to exclude LWC - Jest files from validation/deployment?

Functionality to Data Deploy Active Orders
Salesforce doesn't support the creation or update or standard Order records with a Status Category of Active. This means Gearset is unable to data deploy any active orders. It would be very useful if there was an option for Gearset to temporarily set active orders to a draft status for the deployment or the Order Records and related Order Records, and then set the status back to Active for the final step.
4 votesYou are now able to dow this with Gearset Data deploys

Add friendly Name to Deployment detail and be able to add/edit from that page
It'd be great to see the "Friendly Name" in the Deployment Summary page.
e.g. https://app.gearset.com/finished?deploymentId=XXXXXXXXX
And to be able to add/edit the Friendly Name on that page, same as it can be done in the Deployment Summary.
Our use case: We audit all our deployments to make sure they have a name. It would be very helpful to be able to send a Deployment Summary link to a user to tell him to add a name if it's missing.

Ability to create Pull Requests for AWS CodeCommit
Gearset can create Pull Requests for many of the source control systems that it integrates with, but not AWS CodeCommit.
As AWS users, it would be very useful to use to have this ability so that we didn't need to switch systems to create Pull Requests.

Add "Show selected" button to the Custom Filter editor

User Last loggged in and User Usage
It would be great to see when a team member last logged in on the user account management page. It would also be great to see like a report or extension on the user page where we can see user usage information. Like number of compares, deployments, etc.. may when last compare was done.
23 votesTeam owners on the Automation Enterprise plan can find the last login time for each user in the CSV export on their account page.

Require Jira Ticket Before Validation or Deployment
We would like the ability to make the "Jira updates" section required (i.e. ticket selected) prior to validation or deployment.
2 votesYou can now require team members to link a Jira ticket before manual deployments and validations.
Simply, navigate to My Account -> Deployment Settings and enable the 'Require Jira Tickets' option.

Add support for the WorkSkillRouting metadata type
WorkSkillRouting is a key object in the configuration of Skills-based Routing for omni-channel (using Attribute Setup, not apex class), please add support for this object to enable comparison and deployment.

Include support for new metadata type 'PermissionSetGroup' (Winter '20)
As feature has moved from pilot to beta in Winter '20 release, looking for support in differencing and deploying the new 'PermissionSetGroup' metadata type.
20 votesYou can now deploy permission set groups in Gearset!
PermissionSetGroup isn’t included in the default metadata filter, so you’ll need to include it in any comparison filters you’re using.
Please get in touch if you spot any problems.
Thanks,

Allow users with owner role to modify and start backups
Allow designated users the ability to modify and start backups without being the owner of the connected org or the person who created the backup.
5 votesYou can now specify other team members to have permissions to manage and start backup jobs they don’t own.
The current owner of the backup job will need to edit the current job settings, go to the new ‘Permissions’ tab and choose the team member and level of access that you’d like to grant them to manage your backup job.

Cancel a running data deployment
Currently I am trying to copy data from production into a sandbox and mask them, but I forgot to adjust the amount of records to create. Now Gearset tries to create thousands of records for each and also mask them with a lot of fields included. I would like to abort the process but don't see any option because this huge amount of data and background services consumes a lot of time and compute resources. Also, I can’t estimate how much time is still left to complete the data deployment. Also, just to see is also a huge improvement but…

Allow "View Errors" in CI Job History page to be opened in a new tab
It would be great if the button allowed to be opened in a new tab (essentially allow buttons and links to act like regular HTML elements that allow opening in a new tab via Cmd/Ctrl+click or via right click)
Example right clicking the "View Errors" shows no open to open in a new tab https://d.pr/i/m5CNIG
Right clicking "View comparison" allows for it https://d.pr/i/WpCfFF
This is similar to https://gearset.uservoice.com/forums/283474-help-us-improve-gearset/suggestions/35538631-make-clone-package-openable-in-a-new-tab

Export subset of data in data backup
I would like to be able to filter what I want to export from a data backup, since I probably won't need everything from the database. This would make the downloading more manageable.
Ex: Export only ContactID and Email fields from Contact object from a specific backup.
(Restore data seems to allow this, but in this specific case I needed to run some checks in Excel since I couldn't just update everything with the old data)
3 votesYou can now select the object(s) to export for a particular backup run.
Simply go to the backup history for a job, and for a backup run, choose the ‘Download data’ option in the context menu to choose the subset of data that you’d like to export.
