  1. Deploy Einstein Datasets from one org to the other

    Copying of Salesforce objects with relations is a great feature. But this does not support Einstein datasets to be copied from one org to the other. It is critical for teams to have Einstein dataset in the lower orgs for development and testing

  2. mark destructive only changes as a separate difference

    due to deployment limitations with salesforce destructive changes destructive changes dont necessarily reflect branch to org so these deltas are being marked as differences even though there is no way to fix other than manually in the org. these should be marked as a separate difference type for easier filtering.

  3. Cloning deployments: add namespace option

    If you are using Gearset to develop for a 1GP managed package:

    Your deploys between VCS and dev orgs/scratch orgs DON'T use namespace in the metadata filter

    Your deploy from VCS to Packaging org MUST USE namespace in the metadata filter - otherwise, everything in the difference viewer appears as NEW rather than CHANGED (if truly just edited during dev cycle)

    So, when cloning a deployment, one should have the option to add the namespace to the clone dialog.

    Without this, one has to repeat the Compare step thus losing the benefit of what you had enumerated in a prior…

  4. Spurious difference CustomObject excludedstandardbuttons ordering

    SFDC has a tendency from release-to-release of reordering the excludedStandardButtons for a CustomObject. If you are using source control populated under Vx and SFDC changes the ordering in Vx+1, your custom objects all show up as Changed in the differences viewer.

    Because these are "excluded" buttons, their ordering in the XML file doesn;t matter to the end deployment and the variance should be suppressed in the difference viewer.

  5. Send different deployment notifications based on the target org type

    Successful deployment notification is for all sandboxes. It would be nice if we can have a separate notification for production and sandboxes as certain people only care what goes to production. Thank you!

  6. Support for WaveXmd metadata is missing

    If we replace default DataSet in Einstein Analytics, it creates another type of metadata "WaveXmd". Support for the deployment of this metadata is missing from Gearset and as per discussion with Gearset team, it's a bug. Could you please fix it.

  7. Use exact filters of Automated Job

    Currently automated CI job filters are unique to that job and not available as a filter for manual jobs.
    Ability to use the exact current job filter as a filter outside of the CI job.
    Ability to to clone the CI Job filter into a new named filter.

  8. Show In-Progress Validation jobs when clicking 'Details' in GitHub PR

    When viewing a GitHub PR and you have a status check that's in progress, clicking 'Details' should take you to the validation only job page and show all validations (including those in progress).

    Currently this page only shows you completed validations which makes it confusing to use at first and you have to navigate to 'Continuous Integration' and find the validation job there.

  9. Consistently position the Source > Target UI element

    In the various screens of a comparison + deployment, the Source > Target element jumps around:
    - Top of the page for the Comparing... page
    - Middle of the page for the Compare page
    - Top-left for the Comparison Summary page
    - Top-right for the Deployment page
    - Middle of the page for the Deployment Results page

    During this process, I am constantly double-checking to make sure that I am using the correct Source & Destination environments so as not to make a mistake. Instead of scanning the entire screen to see where this is annotated, I would like to…

  10. Display more workflow subcomponents under Workflow for Metadata filter

    Currently, two sub-components display under Workflow when selecting metadata types within a filter.

    1. WorkflowAlert
    2. WorkflowRule

    There's more sub-components than those two and I'd argue that there's two that are frequently used that should be included for visibility

    1. WorkflowFieldUpdate
    2. WorkflowOutboundMessage

    There's 2 more, but these may be used less frequently and not needed for visibility

    1. WorkflowKnowledgePublish
    2. WorkflowTask

  11. no difference report

    Currently the deployment report that is attached to the Jira ticket includes all "No Difference" components which I don't believe provides any real value. In my instance, this includes endless amount of pages, from what I can tell the changed values I'm actually looking for don't actually exist. I would suggest either excluding from report all together or providing a summarized statement that is just a grouped item for all items that were included in deployment but had no change. Also the report should bring the actual changed items to the top of the report like it is on the…

  12. Github: Ability to select Reviewers for pull requests created in Gearset

    Currently, you can create a PR after a successful deployment in Gearset. You're able to provide a description and even select it as a draft.

    However, the only potentially necessary field that's missing is "reviewers". This means any CI/CD setup you have that requires an approval requires the user to go into Github just to add the reviewer.

    Since Gearset would have all the team members (and those with linked github accounts), it seems it might be an opportunity to select based on that list and pass the linked username on to github in the PR creation to keep end…

  13. Select source control based on actual setup/connections when starting comparison

    When starting a comparison and selecting source/target environments for Source Control - it shows all connection types including those that I haven't connected.

    With browser cache, it seems to remember the one you selected last. However, for new users (or when you clear cache) it'd be ideal if Gearset would default your source control on this screen to whatever the user has connected. Once a user has connected a source, there's no sense in having the user choose it again at this step.

  14. Show/Flag what unlocked package elements are getting updated on Monitoring Jobs

    When you look at the details of a monitoring job there is a field called "Packages Afftected" that shows green when is 0 and orange when >0.

    There is a description that says...

    Unlocked packages have been modified. View the comparison to see details.

    However, when you look at the details there is nothing there to see what unlocked package element was modified. So the warning it is not very helpful at all.

    Can this be implemented so that the warning is actionable.

  15. Global Search feature

    It would be very useful to have a Global Search feature within Gearset. This would be used to search the contents of all metadata objects.

    My use case is that sometimes a string has been hardcoded inside a function. The only way to find the function that contains the string is to manually trace through the code. The global search would indicate the function that contains this string.

    Another benefit would be to track dependencies for metadata objects that don't support dependency tracking. For example Aura Components, we could search for the component name.

  16. Support JWT authorization to DevHubs

    If Gearset could authorize the DevHub using a JWT (requires DevHub to have a Connected App and Gearset to be given the clientId + server.key + username) ...

    Then:
    * Scratch orgs created by Gearset could be accessible to any other machine provided that machine is using the sfdx force:auth:jwt:grant command (same clientId, server.key, test.salesforce.com, and username of scratchOrg)
    * This is a prerequisite to any outgoing webhook that wants to auth against the CI scratch org
    * This is a convenience feature to IDE users who want to auth against a Gearset-created scratch org without having to get a…

  17. The Action Order in the XML should follow the sortOrder

    Sometimes there is a difference between a object because the order of the platformActionListItems are different. Sometimes an item with order 0 comes first, but it is possible that an item with 9 comes first. This is probably an error in Salesforce API, but Gearset should order this list before the comparison so 0 will always be the first item.

  18. Migration/Deployment Path

    In cases where you have multiple environments, provide an option to define a migration/deployment path; ability to define what environment is the source and what is the target. This will be useful in cases where we have requirement to deploy changes to say production from a specific environment (UAT).

  19. Workflow failed to deploy without error, due to standard object dependency

    In a CI job : Validation shown as success & Deployment shown as success. But actually no workflow deployed due to it being removed in the Problem Analyser.

    The Problem Analyser triggered due to the (standard) object, that the workflow depends on, not being in the comparison results.

    In a traditional deployments object is not needed to deploy WF, that too standard object. I feel it is a gap - problem analysers should never fire on object dependency.

  20. Workflow failed to deploy without error, due to standard object dependency

    CI job : Validation shown as success & Deployment shown as success.. but actually no WF deployed. Saying Opportunity object doesn't exist in target just because it was not selected in the components. in a traditional deployments object is not needed to deploy WF, that too standard object. I feel it is a gap.
