Make Data Deployments Invocable (Salesforce APEX)
As a feature to enhance data deployments, make them invocable by Salesforce APEX (or other tooling) whenever a Sandbox is refreshed. Salesforce has a configuration to let the user specify an APEX trigger/class to run upon Sandbox creation. That could call the data deployments to run on the freshly minted sandbox, seeding it with data. This would enhance automation.
There are tools out there (like SFApex) that do something similar.

Gearset silently removes SocialPost Layout Permission when deploying
When deploying from one org to a git repo (or other org) and selecting Layout + Profiles gearset will display a Layout Permission for the "SocialPost" object. However when completing the deployment "SocialPost Layout Permission" is removed because deploying it would cause Salesforce validation errors. This is not displayed anywhere and always causes "SocialPost Layout Permission" to show as "New" when doing a comparison.

Add Repo Cleaner support to SearchSettings
When you delete a custom object, the Repo Cleaner should remove the references to that custom object in the Settings metadata type - specifically SearchSettings | <searchSettingsByObject>
Otherwise, it becomes impossible to deploy Search Settings via CI jobs

Add a filter in monitoring job to exclude changes done by Gearset
To help identify changes done manually to the org it would be nice to have a filter which excludes all the changes done by Gearset deployment.

Connection List Search Feature
Add a Search feature to Connections Page. I have 59 connections at the moment and the only differentiation between them is a suffix at the end of the login. It would be nice to be able to quickly search the list of Connections like a CTRL + F would do.
I often have to scroll the list and compare login usernames.

Option to retry Deployment after failure
Currently, if your deployment fails you have two options:
- Click "back to results"
- Click "new comparison"
Going with option 1 means it needs to re-load the comparison and then click next and re-run all the analyzers again which can take a varying amount of time depending on the size of the comparison/deployment.
In situations where the deployment failed, but the fix is to change something in the org manually - it'd be great to have an option to simply "retry deployment" from the failed deployment screen and skip the various screens and re-loading.

Improve error message when XML is not properly escaped
When I choose to compare metadata with my source as my VCS, there was an "&" char in the recordtype XML definition file.
<values> <fullName>Food & Beverage</fullName> <default>false</default> </values>This threw an error and there was no support and no explanation at that time.
I suggest you to improve this error message.
Message I got:Could not parse the XML for 'force-app/main/default/objects/Lead/businessProcesses/Buyer.recordType-meta.xml'. Error occurred at line 71. Further details: An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 71, position 29.
File, line and position it's ok. maybe a link to Gearset docs with walkthrough with this probable cause when a parsing…

Add the ability to order/chain overnight jobs
Gearset offers various automated jobs that run overnight e.g. Org Monitoring Snapshots, CI Jobs, Unit Test Runs.
it would be great to be able to set an ordering on how those run for any particular org. For example, a natural order for the night jobs may be:
- Monitoring Snapshot
- CI run
- Unit testing
This means we have a backup before making any potential CI changes and the unit tests show the results after CI. It would also allow us to make sure that the jobs don't clash.
Ideally, we'd be able to do this without just specifying exact times to…

Reuse earlier retrieved metadata, if nothing has changed
We have a large org and need to select many filters. A comparison take ages. Source of our deployments is mostly Git, which is very fast in retrieving metadata. I would like to have an option, to assume that nothing has changed in target and skip loading metadata of that org and use the metadata of an earlier comparison.
If we have a small bug in our Git (e.g, test class not correct), we get an error while deployment. That's okay. We fix it in about 1min and want to deploy again. Loading metadata from Git is instant finished loading…1 vote -

Ability to return sub-components of a Profile from Source Control
Currently, profiles in source control are stored with everything as it's all stored in a single file (apex class permissions, layout assignments, etc). This is done by Salesforce.
When using the new "delta deploy" or any comparison that doesn't include every possible dependent component (ex. apex, layouts, etc) - you see many "new" or "deleted" items related to the fact that source control returns everything within the profile whereas Salesforce only returns specific permissions based on the retrieved components.
It'd be great if Gearset could replicate this behavior with source control to match Salesforce's behavior, where it'll obviously have to…

Friendly name should be surfaced on the deployment summary page.
The Friendly Name should be surfaced on the deployment summary page, either as a row in the "Summary" section or in its own section, similar to Deployment Notes.
We often track deployments by saving links to the deployment summary. But there is not an easy way to grab the friendly name if we want to search the deployment report; for example to combine packages.

Allow exporting of custom filter settings
I have some regexes configured specifically for continuous integration, changing these would likely break our CI process. I would like to be able to export a JSON or YAML (or whatever sensible text based format) of my filter configuration, so I can easily view which metadata I'm selecting and excluding through regex, and possibly commit this file to source control.
This is primarily because our team shares filters, and I'd hate to lose the configuration because of someone mucking up.

CI Job History - Show what CI runs were manual and who triggered the manual run
It's nice that the CI job history shows the source commit link for the auto triggered deployments from Github merges, but for visibility and transparency it would also be good for users to see when a job was triggered from a manual run and what users ran it.

Allow export of code coverage results in daily Unit Testing job
It would be great to be able to export the list of unit tests and their respective code coverage in a csv file for further internal processing.

Update Metadata Change Monitor Report
When you update the change monitor report metadata filters and include new metadata types, the next monitor report shows all the newly added metadata as "New Items" on the report. Although not a big deal it did cause an alarm for us not realizing it was due to the change we made prior. It would be a "nice to have" feature if either you don't include the newly added metadata types as "New Items" on the initial report or flag them and have a visible cue to indicate the items were a result of newly added metadata items on the…

Run only apex test thats related to the Pull request for Validate pull requests targeting the source branch
When we check Validate pull requests targeting the source branch for the Pull request , it runs all the test class irrespective of the package content that being pushed.
It should not run any test class if pushed metadata is only configuration.
It should run only test class if pushed metadata ha class.1 vote -
Force selection of fields to use instead of selecting id as default
In the select related objects page, Gearset selects id as the 'fields to use' field. If we are deploying a large set of data and by mistake do not change the 'fields to use' field then we end up creating duplicate records for Upserts. Would be great if there is an option to enable or disable the default selection.
