  1. enable linking two separate gearset accounts when they are hooked to the org

    I've been using Gearset for a few years. The Salesforce consultant I occasionally work with just started using Gearset with all their clients. So we both have a connection to my Salesforce org. It would be nice to see a combined view of deployments, validations, test runs, etc. made against my org - regardless of which Gearset account it was done from.

  3. Field Dependencies for Reports

    When deprecating a field and replacing it with a new one, we need to be able to see where they are used in all reports, including private folders, which the "Where is this used?" feature does not detail.

  4. Manually Delete Metadata after CI job runs

    We don't want the CI job to delete metadata, so we've unchecked that box. However, when a CI job runs that would have deleted data, we'd like to be able to select from the job history, review what would have been deleted and elect to deploy the deletion manually post CI run. We can re-run the comparision from Compare and Deploy, but having this action tracked within the CI job history would be more convenient, and would allow the history for the target org to be contained in the same thread.

  5. Force a full production backup, and forbid its deletion

    I was not able to buy this tool because to me it was a blocker that we have the right to delete the production backup.
    I may agree that the we don't force for a full backup, but leaving the option to descope tables is equivalent as not backing up.
    Force at least an initial configuration and allow only to add more scope to the backup, but never to reduce it or delete without contacting your support who should get an authorization from more than one person on the client side.

    If I'm an admin at salesforce, and an admin…

  6. One-click Sandbox data deployment of all objects

    I think a great feature would be for the tool to be able to copy all object data from one org to a sandbox, and if the amount of data is too large for the sandbox, allow the user to specify what objects to take sample data from - and how - i.e. take no data from a certain object,or take 5% of the latest created data, etc. It would be helpful to show the objects that have the most data.

  7. Support SAML-based SSO and SCIM-based user provisioning

    To improve security, user experience and reduce user administration time, SAML-based SSO and SAML JIT provisioning or SCIM-based provisioning would be fantastic.

  8. Allow record data load from CSV file

    While it is nice to deploy record data from org to org with Gearset, it would also be nice to be able to deploy data from a CSV file, with the ability to custom map the headers. Native Salesforce Dataloader has this capability, as well as many 3rd party tools out there. Please incorporate this capability into Gearset.

  9. Users with access to same target org

    2 users both have access to the same target org with different user accounts. User A creates a package and asks User B to deploy the package on their behalf. Unless User B has been delegated access to the same org they already have access to by User A's account then User B will be unable deploy the change as they receive the error

    "To deploy you need deployment level permissions from the owner of the target"

    Workaround to this security constraint was to download a copy of the package and deploy using Workbench.

  10. Easier way to exclude multiple named items in the metadata filter.

    In the metadata filter named items, I want to exclude 10 named items. Currently I have to use the "exclude" Object name button 10 times. I want to tick all the 10 named items, that currently allow to include, and click a button to turn them into "exclude" in the named items.

  11. Jira comment only for production releases

    We would like to have the option to choose which deployments create Jira comments. As business users often watch our Jira tickets, we would prefer only posting comments when we actually "release" (deploy to our production org) and skip comments for releases on sandbox environments.

  12. Show JIRA issue summary when attaching a JIRA issue to a deployment

    when Deploying metadata and linking it JIRA Issue it will be a good idea to have more Jira Issue fields visible not just the Jira Issue key(id).l would like to have Issue "Summary" field Visible

  13. When creating a Pull Request from Gearset have the option to default to another branche

    After you did a deployment from a sandbox to GIT (Github in my case) you have the option to create a Pull Request right from that screen. The default target branche is "main" even though my default branche in Github is set to develop.
    It would be great if Gearset follows that default branche that is set in Git OR has a way of defining default target branche in Gearset.
    The risk now is that someone might overlook this, make a pull request against main, someone else also overlooks this and merges it into main. With CI jobs on main…

  14. Provide help link/button on each analyzer problem pane with specifiec discussion

    Suggestion
    In "Problem Analysis" page, the problems indicated and solutions are not necessarily obvious and understandable.

    The suggestion to read more about the analysers in the user guide is in the case I'm facing an enormous challenge.

    Copy and paste the problem into your search mechanism brings back endless answers - not one used the wording in the problem statement!.

    Here's an idea, have a button/link with each problem that take one to the user guide section (or other documentation) exploring the problem.

    No hunting for answers as the 1st choice to figure out what your product is saying. It's…

  16. Support Email Template Folder metadata migration

    Metadata API for EmailTemplateFolder does not accept wildcards so you have to know the name of the folder to be able to pull it down and migrate it. Currently (as of 2-16) the Gearset product cannot pull these.

    Suggest that they add functionality to make a SOQL call to get all the folder names, at which point they should be able to pull them. Allowing for compare and deployment.

  18. Ignore Business Owner changes between Sandboxes

    This was marked as "Completed" in https://gearset.uservoice.com/forums/283474-help-us-improve-gearset/suggestions/39507649-resolve-data-owner-user-metadata-from-difference

    But really the issue remains.

    When "Business owner" is populated in a field, it will show as "different" since the XML is showing username, which is different between sandboxes.

    This make trying to do comparisons to find differences very challenging.

  19. comparison between 3 or more ORGs

    i would like to see in a future update about comparing 3 or more Orgs to possibly fine tune checks between production, and multiple sandboxes to make sure everything looks as needed to verify no sandboxes are overlooked for refreshes if needed.

  20. Add Comparison Column for "Environment"

    Add a column for "Environment" which signifies which environment the change took place. For instance, this would tell you whether the changes took place in Production Only, Sandbox Only, or both.

    Then, I could filter by Sandbox Only and both to see only the changes I made recently in the sandbox that I need to push to Production. Right now, I have to sift through the many little changes to items that occurred in Production.
