  1. Ability to download/restore data in bulk

    We deleted 40 000 records, now we want to download data from the backup for all of them. I can filter them, select for which I want to get it and download, the challenge is, that only 500 records are loaded by default and I can load more in a batch of 500. A lot of clicking to see all of them.

  2. Add the ability to back up Salesforce Change sets

    While we use Gearset for our change sets, we have time where a 3rd party developer or a new admin uses standard Salesforce Change sets. We have had an incident where Hyperforce wiped out all of our change sets in all sandboxes, it would beneficial to add the ability to the backup to back up change sets

  3. Pipeline Sync Environment & Dev Environment

    Currently we only have the ability to sync static pipeline environments. This is well and good but unfortunately syncing the Project branch can be time consuming and confusing Its not as simple as syncing the static environment.

    I suggest when I sync the static environment , the sync action automatically opens a back propagation PR to the Dev environment its connected to. Also this sync action should close any pending open PRs against that dev environment that overlap with the sync PR.

  4. Pipeline PR User interface Details

    Currently we can see Jira ticket status when we look at PRs in the pipeline UI it would be phenomenal if we could include additional Jira fields to be seen from Pipeline UI such as Summary or fixversion

  5. Show Metadata API version used to retrieve metadata for comparison on comparison result page

    It would save time and give confidence if the specific Metadata API version number used to retrieve the metadata was displayed on the comparison results page.

  6. Update Deployment Functionality for Education Cloud Standard Picklist

    Currently, Education Cloud standard picklist field values are able to be deployed to production. However, the deployment lacks the ability to define active or inactive picklist values. The workaround is to manually activate and deactivate these values after deployment.

    This functionality was recently changed on 8/17/2023 for the Academic Session Season and Academic Session Type fields. Requesting the change to be made for all of these fields.

  7. Indicate from Gearset if a deployment is eligible to use Quick Deploy

    I would like to be able to see from Gearset if a deployment is able to utilize Quick Deploy. This would be particularly useful for releases to production as we release after hours and our unit tests can take many hours to run. Knowing that Gearset will use Quick Deploy will increase our confidence with our release and reduce mental load knowing that the deployment will be much more likely to succeed.

  8. Gearset VS Code Extension

    My development team spend their time in VS Code where they can see all their Git information etc. It would be great to have a Gearset plugin to stop them having to switch windows and allow them to have information at their fingertips. This could also encourage more developer use of Gearset.
    May display:
    - Build status
    - Static code analysis issues
    - View of pipeline

  9. Remove limitation of number of PRs to be added to a Release (Azure DevOps + Gearset)

    Gearset automatically adds all PR details for a release in description box (Azure DevOps PR) which has max character limit of 4000 and only 16-18 PRs can be added to a release because of it. When we add one more PR after the limit is reached then the next PR does not get added to the Release and we need to create another release for them which is not correct approach as other releases may have some dependency on 1st and thing may fail in production. We need a way to disable adding description to Azure DevOps Release PR so…

  10. Download Package Option does not include custom fields.

    Just wanted to flag that the Download package option would be so much handier if it also included custom fields. Even with custom fields selected in my comparison, the package.xml that I can export only includes the Objects.

  12. Allow multiple connections to the same source control system

    Currently you can setup as many salesforce orgs as you would like as a source/target but you do not allow the same with VCS/Source control systems.

    For example, I can only tie a single account to a single bit bucket. What if you have muiltiple bitbucket accounts that have different accesses to different repos - there is now way to do this in gearset.

    You should expand the source control systems to be just like the salesforce orgs - you can configure and share as many as you would like for the same or different systems.

  14. Add the package Name to the page, when the package is Opened

    Currently when you Open a package like a draft deployment, the Name of the package does not appear. There is a message in top L-H 'Comparison finished' which is not very useful. Perhaps the package Name could go here. It will reduce confusion as you will be able to tell which package you have open. Thanks.

  15. Add "View Validation in Salesforce" to your Github and Teams/Slack Channel messages.

    Our pipeline is utilized by some implementation partners that we do not give access to Gearset. They manage their changes that flow through the pipeline with GitHub and receive pipeline updates in a Teams channel. Both of these options have a message to view validation errors in Gearset but the partner teams cannot see Gearset. If these messages included the same "View Validation in Salesforce" option that lives in Gearset, they could be redirected to the Salesforce error page to help their troubleshooting faster.

  16. allow configuration of problem analysers for different target locations

    If we could turn of problem analysers for specific locations (e.g. Git repos) this would allow us to remove irrelevant problem solutions from our git commits, but keep them for deployments

  17. Disable Pipeline Back-propagation for Static Environments

    We would like to have the option to disable the back-propagation in the pipelines for static environments or have more options to control how the back-propagation should behave, like not running the PR validations for these types of Pull Requests.

    When new changes reach the master branch, those changes should be pushed to the branch linked to a Salesforce environment. As it is today, the changes are back-propagated through new Pull Requests and because of the pipeline default config, the unit tests need to run which can block the sandboxes for some time depending on the complexity of the release…

  18. distinguish between components of feature branch and what is syncing to main

    As a user of gearset deploying pull requests to multiple environments
    I want to be able to identify actual components of the feature branch vs. what is included for syncing to main/main branch for the org being deployed to
    So that there isn't the confusion of understanding what new/changes items are showing up in the commit information

  19. Ability to automate deployment to a particular environment without manually promoting changes

    When there are multiple Salesforce environments in the deployment pipeline, like Integration, Qa, Stage and Production, we would like to have ability to automate deployments to a specific environment, without having to select PR and promote changes manually. Most of the times SIT/Integration environment will be used for Developers to be able to perform integration testing, where we do not want someone like a Lead to review and promote PR manually. It will be beneficial to deploy the changes automatically, as soon as someone creates the PR to the Integration environment.

    Create a link in the main menu under Data Deployments for managing Data Deployment Templates. Having to start a deployment in order to manage the templates is not very intuitive.
