  1. Optimize comparison list view

    The comparison view contains a list view in a scrollable area with an line item for every metadata item in the comparison. Depending on the comparison, this list can be exorbitantly long (10k+ lines). Displaying this many elements on screen is extremely inefficient, and causes browsers to lock up when selecting the "check all" check box (because it results in thousands of incremental manipulations in the DOM). This issue also causes mobile browsers to crash when more than a thousand or so items show in the comparison results.

    There is a common pattern for handling long lists like this, in…

  2. Adjust dependancy on managed package versions for Apex[Class|Page]

    We've found when developing classes against managed packages the class ...meta.xml includes the package version numbers. Problem is these are fixed to the exact version installed (e.g. 9.4, 9.3 etc. example below)

    But then if the managed package is upgraded Salesforce, in its infinite wisdom, doesn't update these so when you come to deploy next time you have to go and manually update all the version numbers - or if you have a different version in another sandbox (to test the newer one) same thing.

    Seems like something a cool deployment tool could handle and offer to fix up on…

  4. Indicate whether a Validated Package is enabled for Quick Deploy

    T0 - You Validate a package to PROD (run all tests)

    T1 - You or someone else does a deployment of something else, no matter how minor, to PROD.

    T2 - You click Deploy of the Validated Package from T0, all the apex tests are rerun. This is by design per SFDC yet Gearset doesn't tell you in advance that Quick Deploy is not available. Something you think will take a couple of minutes now takes 30 minutes or more. You think you screwed up or Gearset is broken

    Suggestion: On Validated Packages page and on the page of a…

  5. When a Picklist Populates, Don't Default to the 1st Value, Default to Blank

    When I choose my destination, the system defaults the picklist to the first item on the list. Instead it should populate the list but don't pick a value.

    For example, when I choose destination = BitBucket, it then takes a moment to load available branches. It takes a little bit so I go on and start to configure the metadata types. Meanwhile, Gearset populates the list and sets the value to the 1st branch on the list, in my case, feature/helpdesk. It should leave the value blank and make me pick.

    This has resulted in me running long-running comparisons, and…

  6. Show # differences found in comparison display

    It would be a nice feature to see the number of differences for each item from the perspective of the source org vs target org.

  7. Simple visualization showing Process Builder differences

    Assuming the high-vote count Idea for matching on latest version Process Builder flow between source and target (and not by version #) is implemented; make the visual comparison between source/target PB not solely XML.

    Process Builder in XML can't be deciphered by a human mind. Hence, a simple indented text-based visualization could be done to make it more readable

    1. Decision 1.1 Entry criteria 1.2 Immediate actions 1.2.1 action 1 details (XML here OK) 1.2.2 action 2 " " 1.3 Scheduled actions 1.3.1 scheduled action 1 (XML here OK) ...
    2. Next decision ...

    There's an implicit tree layout in the PB…

  8. Deployment of pre-valided package doesn't include accurate test counts

    We did a deployment last week and noticed that as part of the deployment report that went out that it stated the Tests Run was zero. We did a pre-validation the day before where we ran all tests with all passing.

    Could this test section on the deployment report again include/include the pre-validation tests that were run for the deployment?

  9. Filter out Custom Field differences based on Field Tracking History

    If the only difference in the field is that History Tracking is turned on, it would be nice to filter these results out.

    Running checks on our app with multiple customers, who all set history tracking differently, can create a lot of noise to filter through to find actual differences.

  10. False positives in managed code

    When I enable comparing managed packages (e.g. when I have added a field to a managed custom object), I get lots of false positives saying that there are differences in apex code.

    On the source org, the code is show as "(hidden)"; on the target it is shown as empty. And Gearset lists this as a change.

    Obviously, I know it's not a change, but it adds a lot of clutter to the comparison view.

  11. Compare org monitoring from an arbitrary date to the current state of the org

    In Monitor ORG's tab, we have a daily set of cached metadata that can be used to troubleshoot issues in an ORG. This is great that we have this data. What would be even better (if there is not a way to do it currently), is if we could take the metadata cache from the monitoring job, "x" days ago, and compare it to the current state of an ORG.

    Maybe an ideal way to achieve this would be to select a cached version in the Compare Organizations screen. Alternatively, a button can be added in the Monitoring Job history…

  12. A count of differences could be grouped by type

    If the count of differences could be grouped by type/color that would be helpful.
    Ex: 20 differences: 5 red, 7 green, 8 yellow. It gives a better sense of how drastic the differences between Source and Target are at first glance.

  14. allow a second sandbox to pull PR changes before PR is promoted to main

    Currently I have to manually apply a PR from another developer to my sandbox. It would be great if we could sync back a PR before it reached main or sync across from one sandbox to another

  15. Allow pre- and post-deployment steps for items that cannot be deployed through the Metadata API

    We encounter a variety of user stories that require manual changes to items that cannot be deployed through the Metadata API. If these are the only changes required, there is no way to track these pre- and post-deployment steps, since a PR (and thus a metadata commit) is required to add the steps in Gearset.

  16. Quick Fetch Latest Changes

    The quick fetch feature would just ensure that the components that already exist in that feature branch, are refreshed i.e. their latest version is fetched and automatically added to the commit with the click of a button, without having to go into the comparison view again, from which, now the user can create a new pull request.

  18. Upload a screen shot of the Flow Application error and get details on how to fix it

    I saw a demo from Copado today where they are able to upload a screen shot of the Flow Application email into their AI agent and it spit out details on how to fix the error in the flow. Is this something Gearset offers or plans to offer in the future?

  19. Automatically create a ServiceNow change request when a release has been created

    We use ServiceNow for a change management processes. All changes to a production system require a change request. We release changes to production multiple times a week and even multiple times a day so this manual creation of ServiceNow change requests becomes tedious. It would be great is gearset could provide a way to automatically create a ServiceNow change request and auto-populate the description in servicenow with a list of changes included in the gearset release. It could be taken further like default assignment groups etc, but just creating a change request with the gearset changes and leaving it in…

  20. Allow deploying fixes / linking work to closed Jira tickets without reopening them

    Currently, deploying a fix related to a closed ticket requires reopening it, which triggers unnecessary notifications to the reporter.
    It would be helpful to allow linking or deploying fixes to closed tickets without changing their status, or alternatively make it easier to search and reference closed tickets.
