  1. Attach specific Tests to Feature Branch Manually

    I would like to have the ability to force a features jobs to run specific test(s) from the CI screen.

    So if GS fails to detect a test class (either by error or b/c its not named in the expected convention) OR would have failed to catch breaking changes elsewhere, we can avoid/prevent this attaching a set of test classes to that feature branches deployment configuration in GS.

  2. Pipeline Sync Environment & Dev Environment

    Currently we only have the ability to sync static pipeline environments. This is well and good but unfortunately syncing the Project branch can be time consuming and confusing Its not as simple as syncing the static environment.

    I suggest when I sync the static environment , the sync action automatically opens a back propagation PR to the Dev environment its connected to. Also this sync action should close any pending open PRs against that dev environment that overlap with the sync PR.

  3. Show Metadata API version used to retrieve metadata for comparison on comparison result page

    It would save time and give confidence if the specific Metadata API version number used to retrieve the metadata was displayed on the comparison results page.

  4. Update Deployment Functionality for Education Cloud Standard Picklist

    Currently, Education Cloud standard picklist field values are able to be deployed to production. However, the deployment lacks the ability to define active or inactive picklist values. The workaround is to manually activate and deactivate these values after deployment.

    This functionality was recently changed on 8/17/2023 for the Academic Session Season and Academic Session Type fields. Requesting the change to be made for all of these fields.

  5. Remove limitation of number of PRs to be added to a Release (Azure DevOps + Gearset)

    Gearset automatically adds all PR details for a release in description box (Azure DevOps PR) which has max character limit of 4000 and only 16-18 PRs can be added to a release because of it. When we add one more PR after the limit is reached then the next PR does not get added to the Release and we need to create another release for them which is not correct approach as other releases may have some dependency on 1st and thing may fail in production. We need a way to disable adding description to Azure DevOps Release PR so…

  6. Add the package Name to the page, when the package is Opened

    Currently when you Open a package like a draft deployment, the Name of the package does not appear. There is a message in top L-H 'Comparison finished' which is not very useful. Perhaps the package Name could go here. It will reduce confusion as you will be able to tell which package you have open. Thanks.

  7. Enforce Promotion Approval Rules

    The current UI shows a green checkbox and allows you to attempt to promote changes between environments even if the merge request is unable to be approved. Looks like it in Gitlab there is an 'approved' attribute that may be able to be used.

    Alternatively, can have some basic rules but would like it called out its not ready to Promote in the Gearset UI.

  8. Export Deployment History Additional Information

    It would be great if the Deployment History was able to provide details from Source Control. Specifically, list of people who approved tickets, branch names, commit IDs, etc.

  9. Trigger Gitlab Pipeline Faster

    When opening a MR in Gitlab, the Gearset pipeline queues the Validation very quickly. However, in Gitlab, there is no pending Pipeline until Salesforce starts the validation. Sometimes this can be a lengthy period of time with no visibility inside of Gitlab.

    Would be nice to trigger that immediately so approvers can see that it is queued, not just no pipeline job has been executed yet.

  10. Granular Permissions

    Most of our users don't need to be doing any configuration outside of connecting their Dev Sandbox. Prefer to have more granular permissions to lock down features to smaller groups of users.

  11. Gearset CPQ deployment to delete target org component if source is deleted

    Example in CPQ template you have situation when you need delete from source org component (content, line column etc.)
    Now you have to delete this in target org as post deployment task.
    Current solution support only new or changed component change.

  12. Add api version check validation

    We have experienced quite a few errors when a metadata component is developed in a sandbox that has been updated to the preview api version but production hasn't been updated to that version yet. Our entire pipeline and PR validation process works perfectly until the very last step when deploying to production. It's very difficult to deal with at that point.

  13. Pull Request Branch Filter/restriction

    Currently creating a pull request from the "Create pull request Screen" provides the user with a list of all the branches.

    The default of this seems to be based on the last location you had selected when you created your branch (This usually ends up being main). As we have a pipeline this is the last place you want anyone being able to create a PR into!

    It would be great if we could whitelist/blacklist a bunch of Branch names on this dropdown to stop users accidentally selecting main when creating a PR (for most users this would be one…

  14. disable the ability to delete backups to prevent malicious actors and accidental damage

    A lot of backup providers offer the ability to disable the ability to delete backups. This provides protection for 2 scenarios:

    1. A hacker compromises an administrator account and uses this access to remove backups to prevent recovery after ransomware or other attack

    2. An administrator accidentally deletes backups that are required

    If there is a legitimate use case for backups to be deleted, the ability to delete can be temporarily turned on but only by contacting support and only with the confirmation of 2 or more admins.

  15. Run pull request validation against a different sandbox than the one linked to the target org

    Hi team,

    We have multiple developers creating PRs against a common development branch (let's call it simple, develop; developers are creating their feature branches from master, the Production configuration branch). Develop branch is linked to an integration environment (called INT). INT environment contains multiple stories which are not yet in Production (some of them might go in Production, some will not go).

    I would like to get my PRs validated in a Production-copy environment (called BUILDCHK) just to get a real feedback on how "deployable" are my changes in Production, for whenever their time will come.

    It would be great…

  16. Allow switching authentication provider (SSO)

    I made the mistake of using the wrong SSO provider (Salesforce) on the main user account that owns all the pipelines, CI jobs, credentials, orgs, etc and now I'm stuck with it with no decent way of changing to Google, my preferred provider. Please create an easy way to switch SSO providers.

  17. Recognize code formatting changes as differences that can be deployed

    If an Apex Class or other code file has been modified to fix formatting only, changing the indentation size for example, Gearset doesn't recognize this as a change that can be deployed. Formatting changes are recognized by git and SFs own source tracking feature so it should be recognized by Gearset.

  18. Save Filtered Metadata from a Comparison View as a New Custom Filter

    When running a compare, we'll often filter the list of metadata types in the results to eliminate types we're not interested in comparing. It would be nice to save the filtered view as a new Metadata Filter for use in a future compare.

  19. Feature vs Release, Branch De-sync

    When Gearset detects that additional changes have been made to a feature branch AFTER the feature branch was already added to a Release, strange behavior may be experienced.

    Coming from a git background, I expected anything on the release branch would be ready to go on my deployment, but that is not what happened during my release window.

    Admittedly there were some features that had changes pushed to the feature branch after perhaps the feature branch should have been closed, namely after it was on the Release branch. However there's also an argument that we should trust whats on the…

  20. ClickUp integration would be awesome!

    My company uses ClickUp to manage tickets, would be great if there was integration with Gearset as that would save me copy/pasting ticket references into the deployment descriptions.
