Unselect all standard profiles & related permission
Often you want to deploy Admin profile and (x) custom profiles. Compare and deploy picks up hundreds of entries for standard profiles which are surplus to requirements. A single click way would be veryuseful.

Allow multiple team members to be assigned to a single sandbox on the pipeline view
Currently a single team shared sandbox can have multiple users with delegated access. However, only one of the users can view the sandbox in a pipeline view. In order to allow multiple people to see the sandbox -
Current solutions:
- Add the same sandbox multiple times and assign each to the required team members
- Or, allow all team members to see all sandboxesSuggested solution:
- Allow multiple team members to be selected via the "Assign sandbox to team member" function.3 votes -
Ability to Select and Merge Specific Changes in Lightning Components and Flows
We are using Gearset to compare and merge changes in Lightning and Aura components, as well as Salesforce Flows. While the tool works well overall, we’ve noticed that it currently lacks the ability to select and move specific changes during a merge. Instead, it requires replacing the entire file, which isn’t ideal in many cases.
It would be extremely helpful if Gearset could allow selective merging of specific lines or sections—similar to how it works for Apex classes. This feature would greatly improve control and efficiency when working with Flows and Lightning components.
Thanks for considering this enhancement!

Pick up test classes to run from the apex class
Add a variable in apex classes where we can specify which test classes to run.
Recently you added the ability to specify the test classes to run on a pull request, which is great!
I know <ApexClassName>Test are automatically picked up by GS, but would be great if we could specify with
@TestClasses('CaseTestSuite,LeadTestSuite') or similar in the actual Apex Class and Gearset would automatically pick it up and add those test classes to the pull requests .3 votes -
Make pre/post deployment steps conditional on developer sandboxes.
Pre/Post deployment notes can be set to pertains to various static environments but they always apply to sandboxes after a back deploy. This should be conditional-- most of the time I only set them applicable to prod and they aren't applicable to developer sandboxes.

Dependency-Aware Deployment Sequencing in Gearset
Currently, deployments in Gearset can fail when interdependent metadata components are deployed simultaneously without respecting their dependencies. For example, deploying a new Lightning page that references a report or dashboard will fail if both are included in the same deployment, as the referenced report or dashboard does not yet exist in the target org.
While the current workaround is to manually split deployments into separate feature branches based on dependencies, a more intuitive approach would be for Gearset to detect these dependencies automatically when multiple related components are included in a deployment. The tool could then offer options to handle…

It would be great to have a centralized way to view all components and static code analysis results for every commit within a branch.
It would be great to have a centralized view for all components and static code analysis results across every commit within a feature branch. For example, if a developer makes five commits to the same branch, it would be much more efficient to review the components and static code analysis results for the entire branch in one place, rather than checking each commit individually through the deployment history. Additionally, there should be an export option to easily share the results with developers. Thanks

Add Salesforce Data Cloud sandboxes as an option for deployments
Salesforce Data Cloud sandboxes are now generally available but to promote changes from sandbox to production, the only options are through Data Kit and change sets, CLI, or DevOps Center. Having the option to use GearSet would be helpful so all deployments were managed the same.

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…
3 votesThis 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.

Assigning a dev sandbox to a member should give them deployment access
Assigning a dev sandbox to a member should give them deployment access automatically, or at the very least I should be able to give deployment access in the same interface.

Mass resolve auto resolved conflicts
Currently we have the auto resolve from previous environment feature which takes previous conflict resolution into account for a new conflict dectection run in a new environment. This is great but if I am deploying through a pipeline to multiple ORGs and the same conflicts that are auto resolved each time popup I need to keep clicking through them and marking as resolved.
I would like there to be a Mass resolve button that only resolves all the auto resolved conflicts. That way I dont have to click through each one even though everything is resolved already.

enable using a Repository Access Token instead of a Service Account
I would like to be able to use a repository access token instead of a service account to connect to VC (Bitbucket in my case). https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/repository-access-tokens/
The main benefit for me would be the ability to conveniently authenticate while maintaining a high level of security, even in situations where corporate change management policies and SSO requirements can be cumbersome.

Allow configurable default settings for Jira integration
Allow us to customize the default behavior for the Gearset<>Jira integration. Currently, Gearset posts a comment on the linked Jira ticket every time a commit is started and completed. This creates a lot of noise on the ticket.
Currently the only way to customize the messages posted to Jira are on a ticket-by-ticket basis. Allowing an option to customize this at the org/pipeline level (e.g. only post a comment when a deployment succeeds) would be very helpful.

Precision Deployments for Lightning Web Components
It is very much required to have Precision Deployment for LWC components as it is common to have multiple developers working on same LWC

Compare Types on Comparison
For the pipelines observed when creating a feature branch and during comparison runs, a default filter is applied to the compared types without any metadata types selected (0). We would like to have a custom filter with metadata types for a specific pipeline pre-selected by default when the feature branch initiates the comparison.

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

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…

Increase API call limits
There currently is a API limit of only 10 calls per hour for the reporting and audit API's. This makes it difficult when developing and testing applications that tie into the api. In our case we use the api to pipe the data into our observability platform for reporting and dashboarding. It would be nice to either increase to something not THAT low or to have a development override option of some sort that customers to request to temporary increase. I understand the need for some limits due to having a shared cloud platform but this seems to be on…

Grouping developer sandboxes in Pipelines - back-promotion to a group
Team,
Currently Gearset Pipelines only offers the option to connect a developer sandbox group to a single downstream environment. While back-promotion to a group isn't available yetCould you please enable it ?

Improve audit API to extract list of users and their entitlements. Additionally, allowing us to provision & deprovision user access via API
We use 3rd party tools to audit all of our user access at our company. Automating this via API instead of exporting CSV and loading that into another tool would be very beneficial. Additionally, we use that tool for provisioning and deprovisioning so if an API for that existed too, we could automate Gearset users.
