Would like the ability to print the current comparison for selected objects before deploying
I would like the ability to print the current comparison for selected objects before deploying to use for documentation purposes.

Improve comparison performance
If there is one thing that is :-( about Gearset is that for moderate size orgs (a few thousand objects), the default 64 comparison takes too long.
You want to initiate a deployment from source to target and, for whatever reason, you want to make sure you didn't miss anything that needs to be deployed
So, to be safe, you initiate the 64 default comparison.
And you wait (downloading, comparison). This can take several minutes. You go on to other tasks and your zeal to get the deployment done went off onto other things as the comparison time is too…

Avoid going to Setup | Deployment status on "validate deployment don't run any tests"
If you are deploying to PROD and
a) You have Apex classes in your deployment
b) You choose Validate Deployment - Don't run any testsThe Validation will fail and Gearset will tell you to check the target org Setup | Deployment Status where as suggested, the most likely cause is test coverage failures.
This is in fact true but it seems that Gearset could warn you before acting on a PROD deployment with non-test apex classes and 'don't run any tests' that this will be guaranteed to occur and give you a chance to reconsider your choice before wasting…

Access to Critical Updates
We use Gearset as our primary utility for managing various client orgs include Production and Sandboxes for Testing and Release Management. It would be great if there was also a way to access, review and potentially enable/disable any Critical Updates in any org from Gearset.
However, I do understand that Critical Updates may not currently be accessible from the metadata API.
Just a thought,

Provide a way to deploy push topics
We have a push topic that we use but there is currently no easy way to deploy changes between orgs. Would it be possible to do this via Gearset?

Field Tracking Analyzer message is misleading
If source org includes a new custom field with field history tracking enabled TRUE, the deployment analyzer reports the following when deploying to target org:
'Fields with history tracking enabled cannot be deployed before it is enabled on the object. You should remove these history tracking changes from the deployment'
Specific use case was object OrderItem
Analyzer can clearly detect if field history is enabled on target org object (which it was) - message is spurious.
Analyzer can arguably detect that target org's limit (20) will be exceeded by the deployment of the selected custom fields (which could add/remove field…

Option to validate / deploy only running test classes in deployment set
When deploying, there's a pain point when we want to specify tests to run. It would be nice to have an option to only run test classes that are included in the deployment. Automatically identifying which test classes are in the deployment package should be fairly straight forward:

Have a timer on the compare page to indicate how long the compare is taking
Sometimes a compare can take us 30-45 minutes depending on the complexity of the org. I would like to see a running timer on this page of how long the compare is taking. I don't expect it to say how long is left, just how long it has taken so far. This will help to highlight if any abnormalities are happening, ie. if it's taking a very long time and is only at the Downloading phase for example.

Display which apex triggers have low code coverage if a deployment fails
It would be great if Gearset can surface which Apex trigger has 0% code coverage when a deployment fails.

Enhanced Comparison filter - filter by difference count
My use-case would somewhat be handled by separating code and xml differences, but I would like to be able to filter on difference count (or at least, easily see / sort by diff count).
For example: We are updating the API version on all of our classes and triggers (about 279 files this go around) and I want to make sure that the API update is the only diff when doing a deployment. Or to be worded differently: only deploy files where the only difference is the API version.

Support customer S3 buckets for storage
Allowing customers to specify their own S3 buckets for storage could be beneficial for the product. This would give the customer enhanced security and control over their data.

Support deleting comparison data
Having the comparison history is a great feature, but it would be very beneficial to be able to delete any data in the system, especially when working with a trial account. Part of testing could include working with test environments that you don't want to persist after going live. Also, peace of mind when ending the trial that your data has been removed.

Expand the user security model to restrict user compare / deployment access to defined comparison filters
Hi guys -
In many instances, we would like to restrict user access to certain compare / deploy metadata filters. In our case, it would be rare that all metadata changes are to be deployed and we would like to give our engineers access to only certain filters. This would reduce the risk that items that should not be deployed at a high level will not be deployed. In the current model, if a user has deploy access, they can deploy anything and everything. This is what we are looking to avoid.
Thanks in advance for your time!
Best,
Richard

View email templates that are part of a managed package folder in comparison
Hey guys,
I am not sure if this is an actual issue or not but I will ask the question to see if I am missing something :)
When comparing email templates, the compare will return both email templates and folders. I have noticed that in my case, email templates that are part of a managed folder do not return. We can see the folder and sync the folder settings, but no templates. If we move the templates to a non-managed folder we can see the templates. Has anybody encountered anything similar?
Thanks!

Have the option to attach test details to test notification email
When you set up notification options for test monitoring, there should be a checkbox for attaching the detailed test result csv file to the email

Warn if a selected metadata type is not supported by selected API version
In the custom filters dialog, if you select a metadata type that is not supported by the API version, the compare and deploy currently just silently ignores that item, giving the impression that the compare has failed. e.g. selecting "Duplicate rule" with metadata version prior to 38.0.
It would be good for Gearset to provide a warning if a selected metadata type is not supported by the selected API version.

I need TeamCity to kick off a deployment within GearSet when all my auditing constraints are met.
We currently have a deployment pipeline for our .net and Rails environments that utilize VersionOne, GitHub, TeamCity and Ansible to deploy changes into AWS.
Due to auditing constraints we would like to use VesrionOne, GitHub and TeamCity to deploy our SF changes.
Does Gearset interact with these tools or must it stand on it's own?2 votes -
Show status in Chrome tab title
In Chrome, it is possible to display info even when viewing a different tab.
For example, I see this done with financial sites when they want to show the value of a stock ticker symbol.

Page Layout Deletion Not Detected
When I remove a page layout from my Git repository (the file and the package.xml entry) and then do a comparison to an org that it still exists in, Gearset fails to detect a deletion. It doesn't even show up in the All objects tab. It happened to me yesterday and then I just reproduced it now.

Check for conflicts on CI
We have a scenario where CI would be useful, but there is a risk of it making destructive changes...
Orgs in involved are Prod, UAT, Dev.
Ideal development path would be Dev->UAT->Prod with each deployment using Gearset.
In the real world, admins make some changes directly in Prod. So, we also need to merge changes back from Prod->UAT to make sure that UAT is a realistic test environment.
It would be great if we could make a CI connection from Prod->UAT which automatically deploys non-destructive changes, and notifies us if a change cannot be sent to UAT for risk of…
