Add option to suppress managed custom fields in comparison results
When comparing Custom Objects that contain the managed custom fields there is no way to suppress the managed custom fields. The fields would show up in the comparison results even without being requested. The problem analyzers then highlights and remove these managed custom fields.
This is cumbersome when repeated and makes finding genuine differences we care about more difficult.
From the problem analyzers, it sounds like Gearset is able to identify the managed custom fields. Therefore could there be an option under [Include managed package] in the Custom Filters that allows the suppression of known managed fields in comparison results?

Adding Custom destructive
ANT is unable to change the type on an EmailTemplate from HTML to CUSTOM. To solve that we need to add the EmailTemplate first to the destructive package to have it removed and then add it again with the package.xml
Since this file is not deleted but just changed. It doesn't show up in the deleted items tab.We should add an option to the "Selected Items"/"Changed Items" list to opt-in for adding that to the destructive.

Possibility to deploy to another sandboxe when a ci job passed
When configuring a CI job, we need an option to set a deployment to another sandboxe when the deployment or test classes run successfully in the current CI Job.
Ex: when a push to a branch on VCS triggers a CI job to deploy to a sandboxe like QA (with test classes run), we also have the possibility to set an auto deployment to staging sanboxe when the the job on QA passed successfully.15 votes -
Allow searching for Org IDs in deployment history
Enable the search results in Deployment History to include Org Ids.
USE CASE: I want to see a history of all deployments into, or out of, a specific org, regardless of the usernames used to deploy.
BONUS POINTS: allow me to specify whether it's the ID of the target org or the source org when searching. ex -

enumerate unsupported metadata in Manage Custom Filters
In Manage Custom Filters dialog, Gearset should link to
a) https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_unsupported_types.htm
b) a Gearset list of Metadata API-supported but not yet GS-supported metadata typessaves devops person wondering why certain metadata can't be deployed

update the wording in the change notifications - objects created sounds like Salesforce objects, not individual items
We run change monitoring and were very surprised to have 218 Objects created in Production over the weekend when no one was working. It would be good to rename this to 'items' instead to make it more clear.

Use the information in a JIRA ticket to select the components to deploy
Instead of manually selecting components to deploy. If we have an integration with JIRA and the components are listed on the JIRA ticket. Would it be possible to then specify JIRA tickets to deploy and have Gearset automatically build the deployment package?

Enhance the deployment history search functionality
When trying to gather packages together to combine them for a release, currently it is not possible to first limit by a text search then expand the date range (search hangs due to number of retrievals)
Could there be a way to enhance the history search to enable easier searching?

Give users the ability to update field/object permissions for specific profiles only
The issue is, when promoting from one org to another and changing either Custom Object Permissions or Custom Field Permissions and if more than the profile you want has been changed, the extra profile changes get promoted anyway. So we need a way to control which profiles get applied when promoting field and object level security.

push new profile FLS entries into the profile file in alphabetical order
When picking up new FLS entries, by default these are added at the bottom of the list of FLS.
This causes issues when also having save jobs picking up changes, as this can result in duplicate FLS being added to a branch.
Please update code structuring, so new FLS is added in the correct place in the MD files.

Show Created By and Created Date when doing comparisons
When looking at a comparison it shows changed by as a column, would be helpful for consultants to Show Created By and Created Date as well

Approval requests for CI deployments
It would be great if there is an automated approval process to deploy the code to higher environments. If there is a button "Submit for approval", and an email sent out to approver. that we can setup. once approved, a CI job need to run and deploy the changes to next environment.

Don't allow duplicate fields in comparison.
If I have a field with name example category. Somehow the same field has been added to the object xml file it needs to throw an error at the time of comparison.

Create a way to apply a regex to all currently selected metadata types when building a filter
The regex support you currently have doesn't really allow for complex (multi-match) regex matching, which is probably ok. (this would be something like grep -e 'this' -e 'that')
If I select, say 116 of the 124 metadata types identified, and then have to apply a regex pattern to each one, it gets pretty tedious. Click-paste-apply 116 times, and then 116 again for the other half of the complex match. I'd write a tool to automate configuring a filter in gearset. :)
If I "select all" then deselect the 8 types i don't want, and THEN apply a regex to all…

Allow filtering by Deployment Stage/Metadata Subset during comparison
This Gearset article describes some very logical phases for performing a large deployment:
https://docs.gearset.com/metadata-deployment-guides/splitting-a-complex-deployment-into-stagesIt would be nice if there were built-in comparisons to show each subset of metadata.
For example if you were on phase 1 of the deployment you could filter your comparison to just "Data Tier" and Gearset would pre-filter the relevant metadata.

Stamp a validated package with the username of the person who clicked 'Validate'
Currently, a validated package is created by the owner of the draft deployment package, even if someone else was the one to actually press the 'Validate' button. I would like to have the username of the person who actually pressed validation to be noted somewhere in the validated package for auditing purposes.
This would help us be compliant with processes where we need a record of separation of responsibilites bewteen users.

Add functionality to select the changes in the component for the deployment.
I think it will be very helpful to have a possibility to deploy only some selected changes in the modified component.

Allow Downloading of git diff for Comparison
It can be difficult to evaluate the scope of changes by clicking in the Comparison view on one metadata element at a time to see the differences. We would much prefer to be able to download a git diff and examine the delta as a cohesive changeset.
The user should be able to download the contents of the currently selected tab (All Changes, New Changes, or Selected Changes) in the format of a git unified diff. The user can then use the software of their choice to view the diff.
This will also enable more advanced workflows, as git diffs…

Badge
To have he possibility to have badge that could be added to the readme of a git repo. Display in green if the test classes have been successful, red if error.
The same kind of badge could be used for deployment.1 vote
