  1. Allow "Rollback" if you have a user within the same org

    Rollback currently requires the user who did the deployment to enable "Deployment" user access. Instead, it would be helpful if I could use my own user, within the same org, to do the rollback.

    This would be helpful if the individual who did the first deployment is unavailable.

  2. Allow teams to share custom git repositories

    It would be nice to be able to share custom git repositories with the entire team. At this time, each team member that does deployments needs to configure each custom git repo in Gearset. Besides requiring them to set it up, it also means I need to give each person the credentials.

  3. Include a field's permission if the field is flagged as a missing dependent component

    If a field is identified as missing from the deployment and the user agrees to include it, the corresponding field's permission should also be added.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. Modify the email address for manual deployment notifications

    Being able to modify the default email address for deployment notifications, as for automated jobs, would help keep the others in my team notified of any manual deployments we run.

  9. 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.

  10. Ability for custom masking on Email fields

    Would love to be able to customize masking on email fields. When I currently mask an email field Gearset will make it something like 3d50b95f686844c6@gearset.invalid and I have no control over customization. I want to retain what the original email was so users can fix it and sent to it, if needed. I just want the email “broken” so it’s not used accidently through automation. Being able to customize the obfuscation would be very useful.

  11. Allow for Simplify Differences to be performed on metadata type before showing it as "different"

    Currently, Gearset performs a "Simplify Differences" on Clean data service and
    Connected app before reporting these metadata types as "Changed" in the comparison results.

    There are other metadata types, such as "Custom field" that sometimes show up as "Changed" in comparisons because the internal order of some of the tags are different in a sandbox vs production. Re-deploying these files from one environment to the other does not "fix" these differences. Gearset provides a "Simplify Differences" toggle in the UI that shows there is no effective difference with the file.

    It would be nice to provide a configuration toggle for…

  12. Add an account setting to "Mute Live Chat"

    As an experienced Gearset user I'd like to mute the live chat so the pop-up notifications don't block buttons. Pop-up notifications have been rather disruptive.
    In particular:
    after selecting two orgs for a large compare operation, I try click "Compare", and walk away while the comparison runs.
    When I return to my computer, I discover that the compare never initialized, and it turns out that although I could see and click the button "Compare", it was behind a live-chat pop-up "Hi David,...", and the button would NOT execute until I closed the live chat pop-up (x) button.

    I'm experiencing an…

  13. Using GitHub Apps to Replace Service Account for Team Shared Connection

    Problem Statement / Current Situation:

    For enterprise security compliance, organizations are moving to a model where all third-party integrations must use pure application-based identities (like GitHub Apps) instead of user-based accounts.

    Currently, Gearset's CI/CD jobs require a "Team Shared Connection," (https://docs.gearset.com/en/articles/8455568-team-shared-source-control-connections) which uses a combination of a GitHub App for authorization and a separate GitHub "service account" user for commit attribution. While this is a functional workaround, it still forces us to create, manage, and secure a user entity in GitHub. This goes against modern security principles that aim to eliminate the management of all user credentials, even…

  14. Provide a visual indicator on upstream systems when out of sync with master

    Often times we see drift items added to PR's in our upstream systems. It would be nice to have an indicator that shows if a static branch is out of sync with master.

  15. 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 .

  17. 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

  19. 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.

  20. 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…
