  2. resize column widths on "deployment history" page (no truncated values)

    On the deployment history page, the column widths are fixed. If you have a value in the "friendly name" column that's over a certain character count, it gets truncated automatically. there is a tool tip to see the full value by hovering, but if you use consistent naming standards for naming deployment packages, this can result in having to hover over many package (i.e. rows) to find the one you want.

    if making the column width customizable isn't possible, then making the "friendly name" column character limit longer would be a good start!

  3. Create a Data Deployment Template for migrating Territory Management (1.0 & 2.0)

    I would like to see a gearset defined template for Territory Management in Salesforce. I am definitely in need of this functionality as it seems to be a post deployment step once you deployed all Territory Management metadata.

    in ETM 2.0 for example, after deploying the related metadata you need to deploy all related records for UserTerritory2Association Object, this contains who are the users assigned to a territory.

    Not a big template but can be a good thing to have as a preset.

  4. Include validation rules and triggers of managed packages in 'Compare and deploy disabled rules'

    When configuring a data deployment there is an option to disable validation rules and triggers on the target org. However the validation rules of objects of a managed package don't get included in this comparison. Triggers of a managed package are also not included.

    I'm not sure if it will be possible to disable the triggers, but for validation rules this should be possible.

  5. Use external script/template for masking data

    I would love to be able to use my own script/template when doing just data (not having the compliance option) to select what fields I want to mask and the format for how I want to mask them. I will explain more.

    When doing a data deployment (data seeding) to our developer sandboxes, I would like to be able to use an external script/template for masking data. In my script/template would like to be able to set the format for the masking and how much of the value to mask. For instance maybe I want to mask a phone number…

  6. Empty cache during meta deployment process

    Before you deploy but after you start the process it should be possible to refresh / empty cache to make sure that any updates to the meta data in either source or target are updated.

  7. CI/CV job archiving

    Create a mechanism by which CI and CV jobs can be archived, but not deleted. Sometimes there is a job that is not used, but the history needs to be kept for some period of time.

  8. Allow for cross-object mapping with the data deployment add-on

    It would be so powerful to allow users to map data to different objects using the data deployment tool. It would allow us to move data efficiently between orgs that don't have completely aligned object APIs and metadata.

  9. Option to retry Deployment after failure

    Currently, if your deployment fails you have two options:

    1. Click "back to results"
    2. Click "new comparison"

    Going with option 1 means it needs to re-load the comparison and then click next and re-run all the analyzers again which can take a varying amount of time depending on the size of the comparison/deployment.

    In situations where the deployment failed, but the fix is to change something in the org manually - it'd be great to have an option to simply "retry deployment" from the failed deployment screen and skip the various screens and re-loading.

  10. Allow exporting of custom filter settings

    I have some regexes configured specifically for continuous integration, changing these would likely break our CI process. I would like to be able to export a JSON or YAML (or whatever sensible text based format) of my filter configuration, so I can easily view which metadata I'm selecting and excluding through regex, and possibly commit this file to source control.

    This is primarily because our team shares filters, and I'd hate to lose the configuration because of someone mucking up.

  12. Add capability to export components as part of the full deployment history export

    It would be good if we were able to export the individual components that were part of a deployment when we export, say, the full deployment history from the past 6 months, or all time.
    This would help with IT audits.

  13. Gearset should control the order of deployment for Report Types, Reports and Dashboards

    Dashboards require Reports, and Reports require Report Types. Yet when I attempt to deploy a group of components that comprises all of the necessary components, I'm hit with errors that the required components don't exist <yet>. That shouldn't happen. This is going to <artificially> require me to do multiple deployments. :(

  14. Limit Connections creation

    Currently there is no feature to prevent users in creating their own connections within Gearset.

    We need users to follow the permission that was setup on the shared connection. We have only 2 users that have the approval to deploy code from a sandbox to production. As they can set up their own connections then this bypasses our restriction

    Having a permission only available to the Enterprise user or a user approved to create connections and delegate access would prevent the bypass of access permissions

  15. Set values on record creation for fields that can't be updated

    Some objects, for example PriceBook Entry, must have their attributes set on insert as once created most of the record is not updatable, e.g. CurrencyISOCode cannot be changed on this record once it has been inserted. Providing a way to set these fields on creation, rather than a later update step, would allow these records to be deployed as currently PriceBook Entry records fail in multi-currency orgs as they are all created with the default currency causing SF to treat them as duplicates

  16. Custom ordering option for CI Dashboard

    Rather than splitting jobs into Validate and Deploy and ordering alphabetically, allow custom ordering (drag and drop, or custom grouping) in order to maintain logical job sequences including a mix of deploy and validate jobs.

  17. Control When Tests are Ran Based on Metadata type

    It would be nice to control when we want tests to run based on the type of changes in the triggering event for CI. Something like only run test classes on update of Apex Classes, Flows, Workflows, and Objects.
    This is a bit of a patch for not having test classes fully optimized but would be helpful with orgs who have lots of profile and layout changes.

  18. Allow custom manipulations to data during a data deployment

    Export the selected data source in a CSV file before deploying, in order to allow custom manipulation. Then allow the import of that CSV to destination - functioning like a more sophisticated Data loader.

  19. Show associated JIRA ticket in Validated Packages & Deployment History and Export

    We would like to view the associated JIRA in both the Validated Packages and Deployed History pages. In addition, we would like to export the associated JIRA tickets in the Export History Excel report, found in the Deployment History page.

    We link our Jira stories to our Production deployments and we would need a way to report on which ticket is linked to which deployment. Currently this is only available if users are diligent enough to also write the story number in the Friendly Name or Notes.

    This would be an extremely useful feature especially for companies undergoing SOX Compliance…

  20. Select source control based on actual setup/connections when starting comparison

    When starting a comparison and selecting source/target environments for Source Control - it shows all connection types including those that I haven't connected.

    With browser cache, it seems to remember the one you selected last. However, for new users (or when you clear cache) it'd be ideal if Gearset would default your source control on this screen to whatever the user has connected. Once a user has connected a source, there's no sense in having the user choose it again at this step.
