Compare Active Version of flows not the newest Flow
When comparing flows please compare the active version of flows, not the newest version. This would align with how change sets handle flow.
Example:
Version 2 and 3 exist in source. Version 2 is active and version 3 is draft. I want to deploy Version 2 that is active not the inactive flow.16 votes -
Allow deployment of unlocked packages
At the moment, you can select "Installed package" as a metadata type to compare, and I think you can use this to install a package (without installation key).
However, unless I'm missing them, 2nd Generation Unlocked packages don't appear in a comparison like this.
It would be really useful to be able to deploy 2GP with Gearset because I sometimes need to make metadata changes at the same time as installing
e.g. I'm moving some old functionality into an Unlocked package and that old code has logic in the triggers. I want to be able to delete the old triggers…

Ability to remove PR's from a created release
WHen working with pipelines, when we create a release and we merge PR's to the release so we can then deploy later, it would be nice if we have the option to remove them in case someone change their mind instead of cancell release and srtart over

Allow users to select custom fields even if the object does not exist in the target
Would be great if GS allowed to select custom fields when doing a comparison even if the object does not exist in the target. If I am pushing changes to a repository I might want to only include the fields I created/modified and not the whole object.

Set fields to a specific value during a data deployment
When deploying Data, it would be nice to be able to set field values. It could be just to null them or set a value. It could be part of the configuration or data masking.

Possibility to deploy to another sandboxe when a ci job passed
When configuring a CI job, we need an option to set a deployment to another sandboxe when the deployment or test classes run successfully in the current CI Job.
Ex: when a push to a branch on VCS triggers a CI job to deploy to a sandboxe like QA (with test classes run), we also have the possibility to set an auto deployment to staging sanboxe when the the job on QA passed successfully.15 votes -
Build Comparison Manifest from pull request
It would be cool if the custom deployment configuration could be driven from a Pull Request . For example, in GitHub, the Pull Request knows which files were changed and approved. Why not use that list to instantly populate a comparison to create a deployable manifest to go from source control to org?

Make "Hide Reodering" global switch
Please add a feature to have globally selected "Hide Reordering" and also hide those files that have no changes after reordering from Changed Items?
Clicking that on every file to see that there are no real differences is time consuming and slow down the comparison process.
Scenario:
1. I am comparing two sandboxes develop with my private sandbox to align with changes made on develop.
2. I have comparison with many Global Value Sets, Custom fields which are Picklists, flows etc.
3. Most of them are not changed but are listed as changes. I need to click on each metadata…14 votes -
Delta only validation CI jobs
Idea is to have the Delta CI for Validation only Job, so the as well, so the validation process will become faster .
The option of validating a PR in the deployment job does the same task, but is comparing too many items of metadata and it is taking too long.

When validation fails, allow option to automatically remove metadata from deployment that was causing failure
It's not convenient when a validation fails, to then download the excel file of the the validation errors, view in separately form Gearset, and then go through the list of metadata I'm trying to deploy and try to uncheck each one that failed the validation. It would be nice if Gearset did that for me.

Allow date range filtering on the "Changed On" column
Currently one has to pick dates individually, if one has 30 + dates to select, this can be massively simplified if one could select a date range.

Ability to search Deployment History for specific metadata
On the "Deployment History" tab, the filter dialog filters on the visible friendly name and items like that. What I would like to do is enter a specific metadata name and have the list filter down to deployments where that specific metadata name was a part of the deployment. This would be useful when getting the question, "when was xyz last deployed?"
14 votesIf we implemented this and it was only able to search metadata from that point in time onwards, would that be useful or would it be confusing to communicate in the UI?

Deploying Profiles - Create, Update, Delete
I have noticed that in some scenarios, user profiles cannot be created, deleted or updated. In addition, some pieces such as user license cannot be updated due to the Salesforce architecture. To create a new profile with a specific license, we would have to clone an existing profile that has the correct license and then update the permissions accordingly. When deleting a profile, first we need to ensure that the profile is not associated with a user (it doesn't matter whether the user is active or inactive) and then the profile can be deleted. When updating a profile, based on…

Automatic sandbox updates option
The new sandbox updates process is really convenient - you can see all the updates a sandbox needs and apply one or more. However it is still very much a manual process to start it. We have a team of engineers and each one of them has to constantly go and trigger the update process manually whenever an update becomes available.
It would be really nice if there was a switch for 'Automatic updates' i.e. whenever it is turned on, the updates are applied automatically during off hours.
Of course if an update fails the engineer would receive an email…
13 votesThis is currently planned for later this quarter and next.
Users will have the option to:
- Bulk update selected dev sandboxes
- Automate developer sandbox updates; they will be immediately tried as and when ready
If users want to automate dev sandbox sychronization now, they can use CI jobs to deploy changes from their desired source of truth - this comes with some risk of affecting work in progress though.

Write Deployment Results back to the user's Salesforce org
When setting up a deployment, it would be helpful to capture Deployment Results in a custom object in the running user's Salesforce org. Users would be able to specify a unique reference at the point of deployment, which would track through to the Salesforce org.
Information about the deployment would be captured in a Master record, with data about individual components existing in Detail records.
Org admins would then be free to leverage automation features to map the created records as they see fit.
As a consultancy that tracks our customer requirements in Salesforce, our use case would be that…

Global Search feature
It would be very useful to have a Global Search feature within Gearset. This would be used to search the contents of all metadata objects.
My use case is that sometimes a string has been hardcoded inside a function. The only way to find the function that contains the string is to manually trace through the code. The global search would indicate the function that contains this string.
Another benefit would be to track dependencies for metadata objects that don't support dependency tracking. For example Aura Components, we could search for the component name.

Ability to upload Deployment Checklist instead of manually adding All components
For every release, we have at least 700-1500 or more components to be deployed and adding all those one by one into gearset is a lot of manual effort which might sometimes not be entirely accurate. It would be great if there is an option where we can upload an excel or csv with all the component names and gearset would just create the package for you. It would save a lot of time and effort and reduce manual errors.

Allow CI deployment notifications to the specific user who made the source control commit that prompted the deployment
We have CI jobs that fire on commits to a source control repository. At the moment, there is no way to email the specific individual who made the commit that prompted the deployment, so we have to notify everyone involved in the project whenever a deployment fails. If we could just notify the individual who made the commit (plus the deployment manager), it would reduce noise considerably.
Please add this feature.

Include a feature to connect between SonarQube and Gearset
I really love using Gearset. It would be great if we have a plugin in there to integrate Gearset and SonarQube to display Static Code Analysis and Test Coverage in Sonar. I had tried this through CircleCI and it requires lot of configuration and we need write code to create and maintain the connection.
Whenever there is an update to the GIT Master it has to Initialize the Sonar Scanner and it'll run some tests and display results in SonarQube.

Adding Custom destructive
ANT is unable to change the type on an EmailTemplate from HTML to CUSTOM. To solve that we need to add the EmailTemplate first to the destructive package to have it removed and then add it again with the package.xml
Since this file is not deleted but just changed. It doesn't show up in the deleted items tab.We should add an option to the "Selected Items"/"Changed Items" list to opt-in for adding that to the destructive.
