Pulling object dependencies during data backup
A cool feature would be the ability for Data backup to have the ability to select object dependencies when you select a particular object for instances where you want to backup a subset of data and not just your entire org

Better error reporting when CI jobs fail.
Better error reporting when CI jobs fail. Many times I open a failed job and there are no errors reported.

Save deployment analysis suggestions and list of test classes
In order to make deployments more repeatable between orgs please allow a way to save the selection of deployment analysis suggestions an d list of test classes with a package. With a large package it can be difficult having to document or remember the same selections used in deployment to UAT org for Production deployment.

On 'deployment' and 'draft deployment' pages provide a way to see the filter information without having to open the full comparison screen.
On 'deployment' and 'draft deployment' pages provide a way to see the filter information without having to open the full comparison screen. We need a quick way to make sure that item level filtering is being used on each metadata type

The comparison screen takes too long to load and times out with large packages.
With large packages the comparison screen takes too long to load, >15 min, and can cause Chrome browser to time out. Can we have an option to not load the details of the differences in the bottom panel, only object names and then click a button to download only difference for a particular item on-demand? I normally don't need to see the diff

Set fields to a specific value during a data deployment
When deploying Data, it would be nice to be able to set field values. It could be just to null them or set a value. It could be part of the configuration or data masking.

track metadata filter changes
Filters are shared by default. However, if someone changes the filter, I cannot tell what has been changed, who made the change or when it was changed. Ideally, I'd like a version history for each filter.

Segregate metadata changes due to SFDC release
If I compare my production org to a preview sandbox that has been upgraded to the new release, I see some changed, new, and deleted items that appear to be due to the upgrade. For the most part it probably doesn't make sense (or isn't possible) to deploy those differences in either direction, so it would be nice to be able to exclude them or have them flagged somehow.
For example, in Winter '20 several fields were added to the OpportunityContactRole object. They show up as custom fields in the comparison. If I try to deploy them to production, the…

Permission sets not deploying correctly
When deploying a permission set, it was being deployed without the permissions checked, even though Gearset detects that the permission is checked in the metadata compare.

Show summary of selected Filter conditions
Would like ability to select a saved filter and see a summary of all the 'checked' filter conditions in it. Useful in verifying a filter or shared filter before using it.

Meta Data Searches
Ability to do a meta data search like you can in eclipse or visual studio in gearset.
For example search a custom field and where it is used within your org.

Explicitly set object-level permissions, even if these are omitted from XML provided by Salesforce API
Valerio recommended that I post this suggestion following a discussion on 29 August 2019.
Issue reference:
https://docs.gearset.com/en/articles/3226459-a-note-on-deploying-custom-object-permissions-on-new-profilesIssue:
1. Remove all object-level access for "Lead" from a custom profile in a source org
2. Deploy this profile to a target org
3. The profile in the target org will have access to the "Lead" object ENABLED, because this access is included in the Standard User profile (see document link above)The workaround (deploying and then deploying again) is cumbersome and not always practical, e.g. if making automated, one-step deployments outside of Gearset. Failing to make a second deployment means that…

Add an option to share orgs by default
Where we have a developer-manager, and a team of developers, it would be useful to be able to have a default for sharing org-connections where the manager always has access to their team's orgs.
At the moment, we have to share each org one-by-one.
This has caught us out where a dev team member validated a deployment, then went on holiday thinking that we could deploy it for them. They forgot to share the org-access, so we had to recreate the deployment to get it done.

Deploy data from local repository.
It would be very helpful if we could deploy data from a local repository. We have different namespaces for internal packages and it would make data migration significantly easier if we could do it from a local machine where we'd switch the namespaces.

Mark items as already reviewed earlier
Today we are gearing up for a major deploy so we are deploying many different changes into gitHub. It would be nice to be able to mark whole sections of content as already reviewed such that any new comparison could ignore all of that content. Then we could look at only the new or newly changed/deleted content.

When opening a draft/clone allow updating the content filter *before* the comparison
When opening a draft deployment or cloning a deployment, please allow the option to update the content filter before running the comparison. As things are now, we have to wait for the comparison to finish before we can change the filter, and then we have to wait for the comparison to run again.

Ability to tell what metadata filter someone used in a compare/deployment
For compliance, troubleshooting, and collaboration purposes it would be great to see what metadata filter a user used on their comparison

Filter (regex) on Outbound Message names within Workflows in Metadata Comparison
Our sandboxes all point to different URLs within the Outbound Message action.
We want to include workflows in our CI job that backfills production changes into test environments.
However, we cannot do this as there's no way to exclude outbound messages in the filter.
In the "Metadata Comparison Filter", you only have the option to add regex or select specific items at the object level within "Workflow".
If you apply a regex to hit the outbound message name, it doesn't actually hit that outbound message name and only searches within the object name.
You can only use regex when you're…

Remove the "run as specific user" completely from the dashboard prior to deployment (set the options to "Run as logged-in user"). Deploy, then change it back to whatever you need. Based on https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F0000000DCJPIA4

Summary pages should always include ALL changed files
I believe this to be a bug, but it might be intentional. In any case, the current functionality is, in my opinion, poorly conceived.
If a user adds a deletion to a comparison between an org and git, the deleted metadata is the only item that will show up in Gearset. However, if you inspect the resulting commit in git, you will see that the metadata was deleted along with all of the profiles, layouts, etc that had to be changed as a side effect.
I'm completely fine with Gearset detecting these dependencies and making the changes to them. It…
