  1. Add an option to ignore package version differences in Apex classes

    I see many differences between apex classes where the only difference is the package version(s), no difference in the code itself. It would be nice to have an option to filter these out so that only the apex classes are shown where the code is different.

  2. Create GitHub App as alternative to GitHub OAuth

    Gearset currently uses OAuth to connect to GitHub, and the way that works is that the OAuth connections have permissions to all repositories that my user has access to, which from a security perspective is a problem, because if the github key were ever compromised, it would provide very broad access to customers GitHub organizations.

    Security teams would feel much better with the ability to limit the scope of access to just one repo instead of all the repos that my GitHub user has access to, which can be accomplished by creating a Github App which can be installed for…

  3. 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.

    This behaviour was converted to a problem analyzer as of July 23rd 2021.


    You should now be able to include these Layout Permissions in your deployment by ignoring the suggestions from the "Items that can't be deployed through the Salesforce metadata API" analyzer

  4. Retain Deployment Friendly Name and Notes After Failed Deployment

    When attempting to validate a deployment, and the validation fails, Gearset retains the deployment's friendly name and notes fields from the validation. The user can make any necessary changes to the deployment, and won't have to re-type this information when attempting it a second or third time.

    I'd like to see this same functionality when dealing with a failed deployment that doesn't use validation. Validating a package takes two steps (long steps), and typically I only want to use this option when delaying a deployment. However I often use it anyway just so I can retain my data in these…

  5. 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…

  6. Show deployment friendly name on Deployment successful page

    On the "Deployment successful" page, I'd like to see the Deployment friendly name displayed. This would be much more useful than the Salesforce Id that is currently displayed.

  7. Desktop notification when deployment is complete

    When you launch a deployment to a target org the browser tab (which will be one of many in your browser) shows Depl...

    Since the user is multi-tasking, it would be helpful to add a desktop notification and change the browser tab to alert user when deployment is done (like what Gearset does when a comparison is completed)

    This could be a D ✅ or D ❌ depending on whether deploy succeeded or failed

  8. Identify that metadata is the same, even if ordered differently by metadata API

    There are a lot of instances where the comparison will identify metadata as different, but the only difference is the way the API is ordering the XML. I've seen it happen a lot with picklist values on multi-select picklist fields. It would be nice to be able to turn this on/off somehow so that metadata that isn't truly different won't show up in the difference compare.

  9. Support org shape parameter for creating Scratch Orgs

    Currently definition files are required for creating scratch orgs but there is no support in GearSet for the use of the sourceOrg parameter as per the sfdx documentation here : https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_shape_scratch_def.htm

  10. Make fail job optional for warning PMD analyses

    As a developer leader, I don't want the job to fail if I get a warning from PMD. But I want to be notified if the code has any warning.
    I would like the failure for warnings to be optional. But always be warned that it has flaws.

  11. Add an option to ignore location changes for Flow

    Hi, when reviewing changes for flows that are being deployed, it would be great to have a toggle option to hide or alternately color location changes which are just the location of elements on the flow canvas editor.
    <locationX>1353</locationX>
    <locationY>1305</locationY>

    Sometimes there are hundreds of location changes and it obscures the important information about what else changed.

    The "simply differences" toggle in the comparison grid now hides location changes in flows to make it easier to identify important changes. The location changes are still included when deploying changes to the flow.

  12. Prevent Deployments from Including LiveChatButton with Omni-Channel Routing

    https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_livechatbutton.htm

    LiveChatButton metadata that is routed using OmniChannel is not supported with the Metadata API and the deployment will fail.

    It would be great if Gearset had an analyzer to remove this for end-users to prevent the error.

    The following property is null for LiveChatButtons routed through Omni-Channel

    <routingType xsi:nil="true" />

  13. Search option when selecting a Data template

    When choosing a template in a Data deployment, an option to search all templates is needed. We will be updating/modifying/saving new templates often and a manual scroll will become inconvenient. Control F works to find a template, but a dedicated search option would be preferable

  14. Select individual fields in a Data deploy

    Having the option to move up only selected fields in a Data deployment is needed. If we are required to move up all fields in each deployment, there are scenarios where our work will get bottlenecked in a sandbox on the way to production and at that point all the deployments will be identical.

  16. Ability to activate / deactivate Flows / Processes as part of the meta data and/or data deployment process

    It should be possible to have gearset to deactivate flows and/or processes based on a selection. And to roll-back afterwards. Similar to what has been created here: https://sfswitch.herokuapp.com/

    Hi, thank you for voting on this UserVoice. 

    Flows can now be deactivated in Gearset alongside validation rules and triggers before data deployments. 

    Click the View and disable rules... button in the bottom-right of the pre-deployment summary page (next to DEPLOY DATA) to prepare a special metadata comparison.

    To deactivate a flow, simply select & deploy its corresponding flow definition.

  17. Default option for the deployment component list for JIRA issues

    I really like the feature to add a deployment component list to a JIRA ticket. I would like to have the ability to default this ON.
    It is currently defaulted to OFF.

  18. CI Job notification email should report the actual errors directly instead of linking to CI Dashboard.

    This potentially can help the team to collaborate on the errors directly on Teams messages.

    For example, at present, the MS team notification says [A continuous integration validation job failed for validation job for PR # xx], but doesn't say which CI job name or what the validation/deployment error was.

  19. Validation job ownership should be transferred

    Good to have capabilities to transfer ownership of validation job to other member in the team so as if one person is on vacation then there should be easy way to transfer ownership of validation job to other member so as if required - Adjustment can be done to CI jobs.

  20. Retain source control branch selection when cancelling a comparison

    If you click "compare now" and then click "cancel" before it finishes, the "compare metadata" screen retains your selection for orgs, but does not retain the branch selection for source control.

    It defaults to the first branch by alphabetical order versus what I selected before I cancelled. This can cause confusion for users who do not notice.
