  1. Deploy SOAP APIs like Permissionset assignment

    I am able to deploy profile components and permission sets separately. But the permission set assignment is part of salesforce SOAP API and I couldn't deploy the same using GearSet.
    Kindly provide deployment options not only for Metadata API, also SOAP APIs

  2. Ability to update value of Reference field for a data deployment

    "Select reference fields to deploy"

    Ability to edit the value for the target deployment data for the reference field instead of searching for the match on the Target.

    Ex. Loading Opportunities from a Source to a Target that contains 5 different record types, but when uploaded to the Target we specify the recordtypeid to one that matches a recordtypeid on the Target for the entire data load.

    Similar to how the Owner reference can ignore the Target's users and default to the running user of the data deployment.

  3. Ability to have Tests to Run during Validation to default to Unchecked all

    Ability to have Tests to Run during Validation to default to Unchecked all vs all checked (even before they finish loading into the component). We often validate with only a few tests or predefined group of test classes that we input into 'Specify Tests to run' and if a user inputs those test classes in the text area before all the Tests populate above in the list, it will include all of the ones available. It defaults to checked all and they need to remember to uncheck them or to wait for them all to load which can take awhile…

  4. Make it easier to select all custom field translations for deployment

    Right now if you want to select translations for certain custom fields, it is necessary to expand the sub-components for each field and select the translation. The second option is to go to the custom object and expand the sub-components in order to check translations which will include all the custom field translations for this object.
    It would be helpful to get a way to select the translations for specific custom fields in the deployment.

  5. Create a way to apply a regex to all currently selected metadata types when building a filter

    The regex support you currently have doesn't really allow for complex (multi-match) regex matching, which is probably ok

    If I select, say 116 of the 124 metadata types identified, and then have to apply a regex pattern to each one, it gets pretty tedious. Click-paste-apply 116 times, and then 116 again for the other half of the complex match. I'd write a tool to automate configuring a filter in gearset. :)

    If I "select all" then deselect the 8 types i don't want, and THEN apply a regex to all types, that would be pretty great.

  6. Export of the Comparison Results

    My Suggestion: For our Customer i need to create a Documentation with all the Metadata Information from the Comparison. Even for Things which are not different.
    A CSV Table would be great and a HTML Documentation would be awsome :)

  7. Eliminate unnecessary XML reformatting in git

    Currently, when gearset deploys XML to git, it seems to run it through a reformatter, which creates superfluous changes in git. These changes cause extremely large deltas, which are hard to read, increase the difficulty of merges and the likelihood of conflicts, and make working with any other metadata tooling (like SFDX) difficult.

    For example, here is part of a delta gearset commited for a profile.xml:
    diff --git a/force-app/main/default/profiles/Commissions.profile-meta.xml b/force-app/main/default/profiles/Commissions.profile-meta.xml
    index 8b11e6b7..3d640a50 100644
    --- a/force-app/main/default/profiles/Commissions.profile-meta.xml
    +++ b/force-app/main/default/profiles/Commissions.profile-meta.xml
    @@ -1,10 +1,27 @@
    -<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    -<Profile xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">

    + <custom>true</custom>
    + <profileActionOverrides>

    Note that it lowercased…

  8. Give users the ability to update field/object permissions for specific profiles only

    The issue is, when promoting from one org to another and changing either Custom Object Permissions or Custom Field Permissions and if more than the profile you want has been changed, the extra profile changes get promoted anyway. So we need a way to control which profiles get applied when promoting field and object level security.

  10. include the Name/ID of the Deployment from Salesforce into the Deployment Report generated by Gearset

    Include the name/id in the deployment detail page within Salesforce in the Gearset deployment report so we can trace and match those details to a deployment run in Gearset.

  11. Queue Deployments

    Current State:

    A few devs have work in their individual sandboxes that are ready to be pushed to the higher .dev sandbox org

    1st Dev deploys work to .dev

    2nd Dev deployment fails because org is locked

    Idea:

    A few devs have work in their individual sandboxes that are ready to be pushed to the higher .dev sandbox org

    1st Dev deploys work to .dev

    2nd Dev deployment is queued up, 2nd Dev will be notified via email/browser when queued deployment has started

  12. add the ability to run static code analysis against an org or source control, simply click refresh button to re-run it and see results

    This will give you a "run code analysis -> see results -> fix issues -> push to source control (or an org) -> repeat" workflow.

  13. give the ability to ignore certain changes between Sandbox and Production enviornments

    After deploying from a Sandbox to a Production environment, you will always see a 'change' for Custom Objects and Custom Fields because there is no Encryption Scheme (for example)

  15. Show the latest commit(s) in the slack notification

    It would be extremely useful for the development team to see the last set of commits which were deployed via an automated job, so that if it breaks it is easier to tell what broke the build or if it is successful what the org has been updated with.

  17. Allow changing of public group membership via Gearset

    Right now, the only way to edit a group's membership is via the API (users or groups only) or the UI (additionally allows roles, roles and internal subordinates, etc.). Please allow the editing of group membership of public groups.

  18. Trigger a data deployment from a CI job

    When we pull down a version between our local and staging environments. We would like to also automatically pull in the testing data from another project.

    As one of the things we are trying to setup is taking a version from Prod then running GhostInspector through our core flows. Ideally every 4 hours we take a backup from metadata + locked down actual data. Then run tests against it.

  19. Need a Lock to the Custom comparison filters

    We need a lock to the custom comparison filters so that the team will be on the same page and only the deployment manager can be responsible for all the deployments

  20. Allow PMD to be configured by uploading a xml file with rules

    We use PMD locally in our IDEs to analyse during development, and the whole team shares a rule file in xml. It excludes the ones we don't like and configures other rules.

    We can configure Gearset to do the same through the UI, but I'd rather be able to just upload the file, then I will know they are the same set of rules.
