  1. Split Lightning Page Metadata Type

    Think the Lightning Page metadata type needs to be split into 2 categories. Reason being it is the one metadata type that causes comparisons to run for extremely long times or even crash/time out. This happens because it trying to compare all of the lightning email templates users make. It would be better if lightning email templates were their own metadata type and the lightning page type was actually just lightning pages created for objects.

  2. Allow open PRs to queue up.

    Allow open PRs to promote via selection and to queue up against the target keeping blocking behaviour to just merges and the deploy activity

  4. Problem Analyzer should remove picklist values from record types when picklist values are removed from the picklist or value set.

    When removing or deactivating a picklist value, Problem Analyzer should remove these values from any record types that reference them. While the initial deployment of the picklist may succeed, subsequent deployments of the referencing record types will fail if they still reference a deactivated picklist value.

  5. Picklist Comparison should show if value is active/inactive

    When comparing a picklist in which we have deactivated values, the simplified comparison visualization shows the deactivated values as being "added" (in green, on the source side).

    The XML reveals <isactive>false</isactive> is being added, but the simplified view seems to suggest new values are added instead

  6. New, one-click "Promote" button is very risky

    In Deployment Pipelines when a PR for a CI Job is selected, a new, one-click "Promote" button exists, if the PR passes merge-conflict and validation checks. This new button is very risky in that it begins the promotion process, without recourse, when clicked.

    Perhaps that's the designers intent but for myself at least, the button is too easy to accidentally click out of inattention, distraction or mouse clumsiness and is especially risky in that I cannot recall the action.

    Personally I like the process of clicking the PR checkbox and clicking "Promote", which prevents unintended deployments.

    As an alternative to…

  7. Display auto-merged files during Conflict Resolution

    The Conflict Resolution only displays files that require manual resolution. Sometimes I want to see the files that were automatically merged without human intervention.

    The only way to see this is to submit a resolution as is, then read through the file changes again to look for files that were auto merged/resolved from target instead of source.

  8. Allow users to select a default comparison view between 'Permissions View' and 'XML view'.

    During comparisons, I constantly have to select the XML view when I click through rows of metadata as it keeps defaulting back to the Permissions View, I don't particularly find the permissions view that useful and I'm also used to XML views, would appreciate if you could give users a choice in a 'default' view to improve experience.

  9. Automatic analysis for metadata

    Adopt automatic validation for API names of custom objects, custom fields, custom settings, and custom metadata types. Additionally, ensure that the "Description" field is populated to enforce documentation by administrators and developers on Salesforce metadata, including custom fields, custom objects, automation (Approval Processes, Flows, Entitlement Processes), and other applicable metadata types.

  10. audit report missing PR message

    The audit reports don't include much context of the deployment, which means they are pretty useless to us and do not serve our auditors' needs. Specifically, they do not include the PR message for deployments through our pipeline, which means we can't link each deployment to the specific ticket responsible for that deployment. The PR message is where we put our ticket. This information is needed for our SOX audit process. Additionally, we can not see a link back to the deployment, which would allow us to quickly reference the specific metadata files/components that were deployed.

  11. Pre-fill Pull Request Description with comments from last commits

    In order to save time, when a Pull Request is created from the Pipeline, the Description field could be pre-filled with the comments from the last commits in the feature branch, instead of forcing the User to type something.

  12. Use location of metadata in source branch or local folder when adding to target branch

    When adding a file from a branch or local folder (source) to another branch (target) not having the file, use its location in the source as the location in the target.

    Currently all new files are placed in the default folder [1].

    Let's assume a new file, "HelloWorld.cls", in the source is located in .../force-app/main/default/classes/special/ and that class doesn't exist in the target. When the deployment is complete the file should exist in the target's .../force-app/main/default/classes/special/ folder, matching its location in the source. Currently it would be placed in .../force-app/main/default/classes/.

  13. Save sort order of grids

    It would be nice to be able to sort by column names and save that sort order for the next time the page loads or save a default sort order. We sort often by jobname and would like to not have to resort everytime we need to touch a ci job to sort the column.

  14. allow automatic publishing of an experience site after deployment

    Just like you can automatically activate Flows in Gearset upon deployment; it would be nice to automatically publish deployments of Experience Bundles. This is especailly true for deploying Experience Bundles to staging/qa orgs but applies also to PROD.

    There's an API to do this: /connect/communities/communityId/publish documented https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.chatterapi.meta/chatterapi/connect_resources_communities_publish.htm

  15. In a data deploy, allow filtering data by previously deployed parent objects.

    For example, instead of "Only deploy Opportunity records that are children of the Account.Opportunities records that are being deployed" which filters opportunities by the accounts in the same deploy. You would have two deploys. The first would deploy accounts. The second would filter opportunities by those accounts already in the target org.

    This would allow you to modularize deploys. You might want to mix and match subsets of data for specific projects. It would allow working around some of the shortcomings of the account hierarchy gearset magic. If there were transient errors (like exclusive locks) you could repeat a smaller…

  19. Show Date/Time of Validation Run in Validation Details

    I would like to see the "Effective Date" of a validation in the Validation Details screen (at /continuous-integration-job-validation-errors).

    I only ever access this information from the Deployment pipelines and so don't ever see the date/time the validation was run (near as I can tell this is only available in the CI jobs section).

    To better explain my reason for asking:
    Oftentimes when a validation fails it is sufficient to rerun the validation (on account of Delta CI jobs doing weird things sometimes). What I've found myself doing is perusing the validation errors, clicking "retry validation", then going about other tasks…

  20. Visibility to Log Files for Connections and Compare & Deploy Events

    When you either make connections to 3rd party applications or run a Compare & Deploy, there is no visibility to the log files, I feel these should be accessible to the user so that we can understand the reason why something is failing and not have to have someone provide this information. Additionally it should have options to change the level of logging to provide detailed information when needed
