More Details for Open Draft Deployments: Show Name & Refresh Date
When you open a Draft Deployment it would be great to see its name on the deployment page as well as its refresh date. I understand that when you open a draft deployment you're seeing a snapshot from when it was created or refreshed.

integrate with Atlassian Stride for notifications
Gearset's ability to send notifications to Slack is great. I'd like a similar ability to send notifications to Atlassian's Slack alternative - Stride.

Zapier Integration
An integration with Zapier will allow more customizations options for how we can integrate with other tools, such as Manuscript (fka FogBugz).

Access to Jira custom fields
we have a custom field we use that ties to a release number. It would be great if as an additional option to selecting tickets, access this field, set the value (in this case our release number) and have gearset pull all related requests in.

Cache deployment inspection results
It would be great if deployment inspection results were cached, such that the results for an identical set of metadata are available without spending the time to recheck everything.
Use case: A comparison is performed and all changes selected. Deployment inspection is performed and recommendations are made for items to add/exclude. I select a subset of recommendations, and move forward with validation. The validation fails. The same comparison is reopened and again all metadata is selected (with the intention of selecting more of the add/export recommendations resulting from the inspection). At this point, the inspection is rerun, even though the…

Deploy parts of Settings
It would be nice if you broke up the settings into smaller subcomponents. For example the Security settings would be more useful if you extract out the password policy changes so we can pick and choose what Security settings we need. I thought of this concept similar to how you break up profiles into sub component. This could get noisey in the list of changes so an alternative to that could be to bundle it under components like how CustomObjects work.

Add a note against individual components in a draft deployment
While comparing two Org's for differences and saving the 'Draft deployment':
Files that I'm sure and fine with the differences and happy - so tick them.
Files that are important to be deployed but I am yet to discuss those differences with some peers from team (dev / support). I would like to mark these (or / and) comment against these - with some useful notes (ex: impact or risk analysis related notes). Once these are discussed, I can then tick them - indicating I am happy to deploy these.
Once I mark the files as either 1 or 2…

Ability to have automated process to maintain field list in Production environment
With GDPR, companies are required to provide justifications for all data that they collect. In Salesforce this means being able to identify why all fields in the system exists, categorize fields as PI, and provide business justifications. The ability to keep a list of current fields in a production instance of Salesforce that includes alerts when new items are added, or ability to sync that list out to another tool like Smartsheet, where other business users like a legal team would have visibility, would be incredibly useful.

Add an option to use a custom "Gearset format" for the source control output
The XML that comes from Salesforce is weirdly bundled together. When changes are made it's really hard to reconcile two branches in source control when merging.
When comparing, Gearset nicely decomposes changes into smaller chunks. So instead of putting that back into the usual XML, an option to store that "internal format" and even just stick it as JSON or similar.
After all - it'll be Gearset reading it back in to compare to an org next time, and smaller changes will be easier to merge as they won't conflict inside horrendously large XML files

Filter Notifications for Non-CI Deployments By Successful or Not
When I do a deployment that is not a CI deployment, it can send an email. But the email goes out regardless if the deployment is successful. I would like to be able to send the email ONLY if the deployment is successful.

Provide link from standard field to Standard Value Set
Some of the standard picklist fields in Salesforce have their values defined in Standard Value Sets. This means when you add a new value in the Salesforce UI, for example in the Type field of the Case object, that you are actually editing the CaseType Standard Value Set and not the Case Custom Object.
Gearset detects all these differences, but it isn't obvious why Case.Type appears as unchanged in a Gearset comparison. It would be better if Gearset showed some help text in the Case.Type object definition that pointed me to some help docs or linked me to the exact…

Add an Ignore option for change alerts
Sometimes metadata comes back from Salesforce in a different order, which makes it look like there was a change when there really wasn't any. It would be nice to have a way to flag such comparisons as Ignored so I know I looked at them and decided that they didn't need to have any further action.

In comparison mode, remember whether I want to see the XML view or a friendlier view of the object I'm looking at.
I noticed that the non-XML option label changes depending on what type of object I'm looking at. Regardless, if I select the non-XML option in comparison mode, I'd like the site to remember that option during my session so I don't have to keep re-clicking the non-XML option for each line item.

Filter out Custom Field differences based on Field Tracking History
If the only difference in the field is that History Tracking is turned on, it would be nice to filter these results out.
Running checks on our app with multiple customers, who all set history tracking differently, can create a lot of noise to filter through to find actual differences.

Custom text within automated emails
I simply want to be able to add some lines of text to the emails that are triggered.
In our case this would simply be to let the team know the deployment was complete please proceed with any manual steps for example. In our org this would simply save a step for the release manager to have to trigger an email stating this and be included in the email triggered by gearset.
This functionality might also play out nicely that we could have some more specific text around the test jobs that we trigger. For example, we have thought to…

Error while deploying dashboard component using Changeset / Gearset / ANT
This is a common error received during deployments:
Error: Metric, gauge, or table dashboard component missing indicatorLowColor attribute (line 70, column 33)
This is a suggestion to Gearset team for there feature Deployment analysis if they would pick this error in advance before deployment.
Observation: This issue occurs when the Dashboard is created in Lightning. (I cannot confirm though)
Resolution:
Downloaded package.xml and component
Basically, after I pulled the dashboard metadata from source org, I opened it and found the
<componentType>Table</componentType> tag, and right under it I added this:<indicatorHighColor>#00716B</indicatorHighColor>
<indicatorMiddleColor>#ffb75d</indicatorMiddleColor>
<indicatorLowColor>#C23934</indicatorLowColor>After this change I managed to deploy everything…

Add a validation/warning for when users try to filter only permission set for comparing and deploying
we believe that if we are given the option to filter only permission sets for the comparison, there should be some type of validation ensuring that you are also including dependencies such as custom objects, apex classes etc so that we don't make the assumption that filtering permission sets only in the comparison will include all dependencies

Create a VSTS Build Task for Gearset
VSTS offers the ability to create build definitions to validate/deploy your code, but Gearset customers don't have much options natively in VSTS to trigger a Gearset deployment. We can scan a code repository for changes every 4 hours in order to do a CI deployment-- but that's about it.
VSTS offers the ability for vendors to create "Build Tasks" for their applications, where you can initiate a VSTS build and get results. This is basically a controlled version of API access to the tool.
More information:

Test job triggered by CI job
Test jobs are only configured on time basis. When developer commit some changes and it will be deployed, but tests will be done on a time basis in 2 hours for example, so he should wait to know weather tests are passed or not. Or ask the release manager to run tests manually. So, this feature is must have improvement.
