Ability to Select and Merge Specific Changes in Lightning Components and Flows
We are using Gearset to compare and merge changes in Lightning and Aura components, as well as Salesforce Flows. While the tool works well overall, we’ve noticed that it currently lacks the ability to select and move specific changes during a merge. Instead, it requires replacing the entire file, which isn’t ideal in many cases.
It would be extremely helpful if Gearset could allow selective merging of specific lines or sections—similar to how it works for Apex classes. This feature would greatly improve control and efficiency when working with Flows and Lightning components.
Thanks for considering this enhancement!

Put a "Simplify Differences" toggle at the entire comparison level instead of each item
Add the "Simplify differences" toggle to be enabled at the entire comparison level so you can filter out items that don't have any actual changes besides metadata being moved around within the xml file by the salesforce API. This way, if there are items that don't have any true differences, they can be quickly filtered out at the comparison level instead of drilling into each one and having to "simplify differences".
This would help especially with custom objects, where the salesforce api moves the Action Overrides around causing the analyzer to flag objects as different between orgs, when in reality…

Add an integration for Google Chat that includes an integration for Change Monitoring and Unit Testing.
Recently, it seems that Google Chat has reached some feature parity with Slack in that it has a defined integration avenue for adding notifications to Google Chat. I have found that I can set up a custom webhook to Google Chat for the CI jobs, but webhooks are not available on the other 2 features I am looking for notifications from.
I would either like to have:
a.) An integration for Google Chat with an app on the Google Chat side that we would add for the connection to our Gearset
b.) Webhook availability for more notifications, so I can…1 vote -
Auto merge of PRs
Once the validation process is successfully completed for the respective PR, it would be very helpful to have an option for automatic merge and deployment. This would streamline the release process and reduce manual steps.
Additionally, it would be great if we could have control at the org level to enable or disable auto merge functionality. This way, teams can decide whether they want to use auto merge based on their workflow preferences or organizational policies.
Thank you for considering these enhancements!

Improve UI of Analyser, 'Some items reference components that aren't in the target'
This analyser, does provide suggestions on metadata items to be included, but it does not mention the why.
Today I got the suggestion to include something, which I had no intent to include, but I could not find WHY, Gearset would like me to add this to the deploy.
Providing the reason, makes it easier to adjust the deployment, maybe remove an item, or uncheck something I accidently added to the deployment.

Pick up test classes to run from the apex class
Add a variable in apex classes where we can specify which test classes to run.
Recently you added the ability to specify the test classes to run on a pull request, which is great!
I know <ApexClassName>Test are automatically picked up by GS, but would be great if we could specify with
@TestClasses('CaseTestSuite,LeadTestSuite') or similar in the actual Apex Class and Gearset would automatically pick it up and add those test classes to the pull requests .2 votes -
Customizable Metadata Deployment Order - Destructive change and reference changes
We should be able to define the order of metadata deployments. For example, when deleting a custom field and updating its references, we currently need two separate deployments: one for modifying references and another for field deletion. Allowing us to set the deployment order—modified references first, then field deletion—would enable this in a single deployment, streamlining the process.

Delay Jira status updates until after post-deployment steps are completed
Currently, when using the Jira integration with Gearset pipelines, status updates happen immediately after the initial deployment completes, but before any post-deployment steps are executed.
We need the ability to configure Jira status updates to occur only after ALL post-deployment steps are successfully completed. This would ensure tickets only show as ready for validation when they're truly ready to be tested.
This is important for teams that have mandatory post-deployment steps (like data imports, configuration changes, or additional verifications) that must be completed before a story is actually ready for testing. The current behavior can lead to confusion when testers…

Allow environment variables be applied to all environments except specified
Allow environment variables to be applied to all environments and specify exceptions for which they should not be applied.
For example, if an email address is stored in source control as prodsupport@example.com it should be transformed to sandboxsupport@example.com for all environments except prodcution.

After a package is validated, link to the Salesforce Deployment ID
Gearset already does this for a deployed package, that on the Deployment Summary page it shows the Salesforce ID of that deployment. Can we provide the Salesforce ID for a validation build against a Salesforce environment as well?

scroll bars
Get rid of the scroll bars in the open pull requests tab caused by the queue section overflowing its bounds.
Also, allow us to post screenshots here. :\

Stop Off-setting Partial Selections when a Package is 'Fetched' for the Latest
Hi,
Our team creates individual draft deployment packages and then we consolidate it into one package and fetch for the latest before validating. In some of our individual draft deployment packages we are selecting partial changes to a page layout or a lightning record page but it is off-setting this partial change and we are given the prompt: 'Precision selections have been reset for these items'. Is there a way we can fetch for the latest without off-setting these partial changes?
Thanks!

sandbox seeding size
When deploying data to sandboxes, it would be helpful to get an approximation of the amount of data and file space a seeding job will need. I have on numerous occasions hit storage limits as a developer sandbox only has 200 megabytes of usable space.

Add an option to ignore ".forceignore" files
When a repository contains a forceignore file, deployments to that repo will not include these elements.
Sometime however it might be necessary to explicitly deploy these elements (e.g. manually).I propose to add a flag "Ignore .forceignore" at least for manual comparisons + deploys to be able to still push generelly ignore components to the repository.

Show duration for comparison jobs
While the Comparison History screen shows when a comparison job was initiated, it would be extremely helpful to display the duration of that comparison job, from when it was initiated, to when it was completed.
Ideally, this would show on the Comparison History screen, and/or on the actual Comparison screen itself after it was completed.

Seed Data alongside Feature Branch Promotions to Orgs
The idea is to bundle the data that should be tested along with the feature branch, so that once a story is deployed the data is also available (similar to one of Copado's features).
This allows us to test regardless of dev, partial or full copy sandbox type. Allow for a set of data to go along with a feature for testing reports and analytical tools. Possibly integrate existing Seeding Templates that can be paired with a feature branch. Allow for configuration of data deployments to environments through the CI job for feature+data deployments. Allowing some environments to refuse the…

Add navigation into elements of LWC bundle in difference viewer
The current LWC difference viewer shows the components linearly from top to bottom - meta, css, html, js. Just like you did with the side bar navigator for layout, add a side bar navigator for the LWC bundles

Allow developer sandbox updates to be queued instead of failing
When you update developer sanboxes you can only do a max of 2 at a time or else the extras fail and do not automatically retry when the other are done. I would like if they would just enter into a que so that you could click update on all of them and not have to wait until the first 2 are done to then click the next two.
