Extend the ability to add and delete in a single deployment to all metadata types
We just came across an issue in which we were deploying an HTML email template that had been moved from one folder to another in the source environment.
When deploying, only the delete happened on the first deploy. I needed to do a second deploy to handle the addition.
While probably not a common case, it's certainly important as the initial deployment reports that the addition was successful.

Allow option to select certain test classes to NOT run. Include an exclusion list of tests not to run
When deploying code, it would be nice to have an option of having an exclusion list of test classes to not run.

Org Management/Oversight Dashboard
I would really benefit from a dashboard option. A single place where I could see my CI Job history, Unit Testing Jobs and Monitoring/Backup history for all/a subset of my orgs.
I am using Gearset more and more to manage the state of my org's metadata, so it would be nice to be able to see it all in one place.

Need a Lock to the Custom comparison filters
We need a lock to the custom comparison filters so that the team will be on the same page and only the deployment manager can be responsible for all the deployments

Allow adding "No Difference" items to package. To help with package reuse to multiple orgs
Allow assets with "no difference" to be added to a promotion to allow the same package to be used to both promote as well as sync other sandboxes (without having to manually check if asset was changed in each).

Suppress "changed on" datetimes in difference viewer where datetime is the same as the metadata retrieval datetime
The difference viewer will show Changed on values for the current datetime for certain metadata types - probably because SFDC is returning such a value when, in fact, the source didn't change at all
- Custom object
- Settings
- Standard valueset
- Workflow rules
displaying the current datetime of the compare run (i.e. the metadata retrieve datetime) is not helpful when trying to filter on changed date in the difference viewer (i.e. sort descending)

Select all objects in a data deployment
It would be useful to select all objects in the data deploy screen to make it faster to select a large number of objects (even better would be the ability to group objects and select whole groups at once)

Test run details: show failed tests tab first
When user clicks on test run details, Gearset defaults to the successes tab. But no one clicks on test Run details to see successes; they want to see failures. Default tab should be failures, especially if non-zero
Saves user a click and supports DWIM - "do what I mean" when clicking Test Run Details

Enhance capabilities around 'co-administration'
In our organization we have a couple different salesforce admins that are administrating the salesforce development pipeline in which several developers are making changes and deploying them via gearset. Right now it seems cumbersome/duplicative to do this particularly around the area of adding a sandbox org and then managing permissions of the developers to that sandbox. It would be nice if there was a way for one admin to connect the sandbox, grant the other admin "Owner-level" access to it, and for the two admins to have a shared view of the user access to that org, so I can…

Implement public key authentication for source control
Implement public key authentication for source control.
Allow Gearset to generate a public/private key pair, and expose the public key for use in authentication to source control.

Create a Master-Switch Only deployment process
Can you create a master-switch deployment option? It would be similar to how this operates: https://sfswitch.herokuapp.com/
The issue is that this master switch does not always work with managed packages in production orgs.
So a way to automate the turning off/on of Validation Rules, Process Builders, Flows, and Triggers.
Use Case: We are building a new app and have significant data migration to do. It would help to have a master switch to turn off processes in PROD, deploy date, then, flip the master switch back to turning processes back on.

Offer to push components that passed validation even if some items failed
For large payloads (thousands of artifacts) it can be tedious to try to resolve a few minor issues when 99% of the package will deploy successfully. Having a feature to push stuff that passes validation would be helpful. Included in this in the deployment summary and deployment reports will be a count and list of items that failed validation and were omitted from the package so they can be investigated

Ability to chose multiple targets for a deployment
It would be nice to be able to deploy to multiple environments all at once from one source.
35 votesWe're currently reviewing how we can facilitate deployments to multiple Salesforce instances simultaneously. Please let us know how you manage this currently, or how you would like to manage it - thanks!

Delete records from the target org during a data deployment
Provide options to delete records from Target Org. This will help clean up of test data and reload from Source.

Allow PMD to be configured by uploading a xml file with rules
We use PMD locally in our IDEs to analyse during development, and the whole team shares a rule file in xml. It excludes the ones we don't like and configures other rules.
We can configure Gearset to do the same through the UI, but I'd rather be able to just upload the file, then I will know they are the same set of rules.

Jira: ability to associate tickets during comparison
Would like the ability to associate Jira tickets during the comparison process so that it can be saved to draft deployments and can continue to add as needed. Currently it appears you can only add Jira tickets after you have finalized all items for deployment.

Search for components within Profile should show results regardless of expansion of specific profiles
Use case on Difference Viewer:
search on `profilerecordtypevisibility' (or use metadata filter and check Profile: Record Type Visibility)
Results
Unless the difference viewer already has the Profile(s) expanded for their components, you get no resultsDesired behavior -- Search on components within Profile should show results; even if search takes longer

Show the Created Date and Refresh Date on the Draft Deployments
I understand the Draft Deployments are snapshots from when they were created or last refreshed. Is that right? Please show these fields on the Draft Deployments page.

More Details for Open Draft Deployments: Show Name & Refresh Date
When you open a Draft Deployment it would be great to see its name on the deployment page as well as its refresh date. I understand that when you open a draft deployment you're seeing a snapshot from when it was created or refreshed.
