  1. precision deployment for Record types

    precision deployment for Record types is required. currently when i try to deploy a record type gearset automatically adds all the picklist fields in that object. if we wanted to deploy only record type or only selected picklist fields currently its not possible. hence, precision deployment is needed for deploying record types

  2. Allow Adjusted Column Sizes to Persist in the Comparison Table

    Have adjusted column sizes persist once they've been adjusted in the comparison table instead of resetting with each selection. Deploying changes to permission sets could be dramatically streamlined if it's possible to maintain resized columns. If column sizes were set to accommodate the name instead of giving them all the same size, that would also be a huge improvement. The other columns don't include as much info as the name column so it's a waste to give them so much space. It is also inconvenient to caret down in permission sets especially when looking for multiple fields in one permission…

  3. Add a Button to Retry Validation on Updates

    The new Updates feature is great, but there isn't a "retry" button when there are validation errors to resolve. It's not very intuitive to have to cancel the update and go start over to retry after fixing validation errors. Currently it just shows that the validation failed and the update can be cancelled. It isn't clear what to do after resolving the validation error, and a retry validation button would simplify the process.
    I had an error related to a manual change that needed to be enabled in my sandbox, and I had to cancel the update to get it…

  4. Allow configuration of where pull request/merge updates are posted in Jira. User comments are being missed because of the volume of updates.

    Allow configuration of where pull request/merge updates are posted in Jira. User comments are being missed because of the volume of updates from Gearset when moving a set of changes through the pipeline. These updates are important and we want to keep them, however having the ability of moving them to another tab/section on the Jira ticket would mean we could keep the comments section for user comments only.

  7. documentation

    I have been really impressed by the visualizations on the Compare and Deploy interface. Particularly the lightning page layouts and flows. One of my most time consuming tasks is creating internal documentation and I have not found a tool that allows me to capture the level of detail that I want in an efficient way. It would be great if I could export the visualizations at the bottom of the compare and deploy screen. It would be even better if it could export directly to Confluence.

  8. Please add support for decomposeCustomLabelsBeta

    Salesforce added the option to configure multiple features in the DX Project Configuration file. One of the is breaking down the big CustomLabels file into individual files where we no longer need to deploy the whole file but just a file (label) that has changes in. Please see SFDX Documentation here - https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_ws_config.htm

  9. Allow for different pull request messages.

    I would like the ability to have different pull requests message per pull request that is autogenerated when you move through the pipeline.

    Example: When I first create a pull request from dev to my next static environment the message would only pertain to that static environment. So from Dev to UAT I would include a pull request message pertaining to testing.

    Then after that I would move from UAT to Staging so the message would be something about the testing and how it is complete and ready to move to staging which is our integration environment.

    Then when that…

  10. Automatic sandbox updates option

    The new sandbox updates process is really convenient - you can see all the updates a sandbox needs and apply one or more. However it is still very much a manual process to start it. We have a team of engineers and each one of them has to constantly go and trigger the update process manually whenever an update becomes available.

    It would be really nice if there was a switch for 'Automatic updates' i.e. whenever it is turned on, the updates are applied automatically during off hours.

    Of course if an update fails the engineer would receive an email…

    This is currently planned for later this quarter and next.


    Users will have the option to:

    • Bulk update selected dev sandboxes
    • Automate developer sandbox updates; they will be immediately tried as and when ready


    If users want to automate dev sandbox sychronization now, they can use CI jobs to deploy changes from their desired source of truth - this comes with some risk of affecting work in progress though.

  11. Cancel Comparison

    I would like to be able to cancel comparison jobs so that I can totally reset the metadata selections and run it at a different time instead of making the modifications during its run time and possibly taking longer because of the changes.

  12. Job Completion Percentage

    I would like to see more details about the status of a deployment or validation job in the Pipeline. Right now it just says job is running. I would like to see a estimated percentage of component validated/deployed against the total. Also maybe a running time estimate.

  13. Allow configuring Unit Test jobs to run without code coverage

    Ideally I would like to track code coverage, however due to an issue we're having with Salesforce, it's taking 12-24+ hours to run all local tests, crippling our ability to run unit tests nightly. I've discovered that when turning off code coverage when initiating test runs via the tooling API, test runs take significantly less time. We have been working with Salesforce support on this, but as a workaround it would be very useful for us to turn off code coverage for Unit Testing jobs.

  14. CI jobs view improvements

    Hi Team,
    when opening a CI job and then expanding them, I can see a list of PRs with status 'Succeded' for two days I thought those were the successful deployments. Technical support confirmed instead that those are the PRs where the Validation Job has succeded but not yet deployed. The view is a bit confusing because for validation jobs I would expected a status = 'Passed'.
    Also, when I open the 'View History' of the actual deployment job it takes me to a view where I can see the github ID but not the PR number/name. It would be…

  19. Update Slack notification messages format

    Update the slack messages to more clearly define what happened in the action.

    There should be a more clear title to the slack message. It should define what item was doing what. Currently that is grouped into a description which does not show on slack notifications.

    CI job notifications should have a more clear "from where to where" section in the notification. Currently its grouped into the description.

  20. All available branches display

    Create a view that displays all active and available branches and there current commits and pull requests. That way if there a multiple branches per environment a release manager can see everything that is going on instead of having to click into each environment in the pipeline or going into git.
