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.

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
4 votesWe’ve now released support for the Org Shape feature which is available when creating a scratch org.

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.1 voteThis is released as of now.

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.
21 votesThe "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.

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" />
1 voteWe have now released the problem analyser requested – thanks for the suggestion.

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

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.

Allow renaming of data deployment templates.
It would be very useful to be able to see the details behind data deployment templates and manage / rename them
1 voteThank you for your suggestion, Joost. You can rename a template that you’ve created by clicking the cog icon next to the templates drop-down on the Configure data deployment page, as described at the end of this doc: https://docs.gearset.com/en/articles/2529785-using-data-deployment-templates-for-repeatable-data-deployments
If you have any questions please let us know!

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/
10 votesHi, 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.

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.1 voteWe’ve made this stick to the last deployment on the release of March 19th, 2021. This is per team basis.

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.

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.

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.
1 voteThis has now been implemented and should have the expected behaviour

Ability to lockdown access to delete Deployment history
It'd be nice if there was a way for admins to restrict access for devs/other users when it comes to deleting items from deployment history. The use case here is when a sprint is done and we're promoting changes from QA to UAT, it'd be nice to select all the sprint packages and combine them from deployment history so a user doesn't have to go through each change at a time. Providing full access to everyone opens the possibility for them to delete a package that should've been bundled with other packages on the promotion to UAT.

Exclude LWC Jest files from validation and deployment
We introduced LWC - Jest tests for our project, which seems to cause validation errors with Gearset.
As per Salesforce recommendations it is recommended to keep jest tests only locally and in VCS and avoid trying to push them to SF as they would cause validation errors.
Is there an forward path that allows us to tell Gearset to exclude LWC - Jest files from validation/deployment?

Change default sort order of Saved Comparison Pairs to use 'Friendly Name' (or last used sort column)
The new Saved Comparison Pairs feature is great! However, the page appears to load connections in a seemingly 'random' order on each use.
Confirmed with Gearset Support the default sort order is by create date of each connection pair. However, if feature is used with multiple connection pairs spanning multiple individual instances this requires manual re-sorting of connections every time page is loaded if you want to view pairs logically by naming convention (e.g. Alpha 1->2, Alpha 2->3, Bravo 1-> 2 , Bravo 2 -> 3 etc.) or something other than system create date.
2 votesSorting by “Last used” column has now been fixed.

Include more details in webhook notifications
It would be great if webhook would include, at least, the same information as email notifications. For example, Unit Testing job notifications via email contains the details about the unit tests that failed; however, webhook notification don't. We wanted to use webhooks to get notifications in MS Teams but without the same details, it's not that useful.

Restore/export certain fields on objects
We (the user) would like to be able to restore data, but only select certain fields to be restored.
Usecase:
A business user triggers some automation that modifies a field or specific fields on a large number of records that should not have been modified. In the meantime, other fields may have been modified that were correctly modified. We would want to restore a set of records from a specific backup, but only the specific fields that should not have been modified.5 votesYou can now select which fields you would like to restore, via the "Restore changed fields within <object name>". Example in the attached image.
