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…

Add the checks on the PR for the deployment
Currently, gearset doesn't provide the checks on the PR for the deployment CI job. It would be nice to have the checks of the deployment status along with a link to the comparison on the PR, similar to how we can link out to the validation job

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.

Include "Messages reported by Salesforce" during Metadata Deployment in the final report
During a metadata deployment, on the "deployment in progress" screen, there is a column for "message reported by salesforce".
I think these should be included in the final results screen, and perhaps in the deployment report.
These can be useful for the user to do things like make changes to their flows to conform to salesforce best practices.

retain validation history for CI jobs
When a pull request is created against a branch that triggers a CI job, a validation is run. Sometimes, this validation hits errors and adjustments need to be made to the metadata filter and/or problem analyzer template until the validation succeeds. However, once the PR is promoted and the CI job successfully fires, the validation history for that PR is no longer accessible. It would be useful to be able to retain that validation history, as it would help to do further investigation into the validation errors that were hit after the fact.
There is not always time during a…

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.

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.

Manual button to refresh repository data
Multiple times in the past, my team has added new files to our git repository and Gearset dose not pick them up as existing in the repository when we do a comparison.
Select your git repo/branch as the source, select the sandbox you want as a destination, the comparison page says "fetching repositories", but it doesn't seem to actually pull the updated data from the branches. My comparison builds fail because the new file isn't included in the comparison. Gearset usually ends up picking them up in ~12 hours but it's a huge workflow blocker when a tool doesn't have…2 votes -
Sort or Filter Active CI Jobs
Currently, there is no great way to filter out old/inactive CI jobs from the Active CI jobs. This poses a problem as there are situations where we have replaced CI jobs in the past, or created/disabled test jobs. Currently they clutter up the Continuous Integration Dashboard, but it would be nice if we could hide them so we don't have to delete them and lose their history.

Allow a PR template from GitHub to pre-populate the PR description
There is a feature in GitHub to auto-populate the PR description (forcing, for example, a checklist if using the web UI). If Gearset could read that template and pre-populate the PR description so users have to put in specific comments (such as manual steps to be done after deployment) and if that description were exposed in GitHub, then it would be more seamless and the deployment history would enable an admin to work through each manual step without looking in closed PRs in Gearset.

Release Branches
If I create a Release Branch from UAT, I no longer need all the individual Feature branches.
Inspired by Gitflow and the current Gearset Expanded Branching Model.
Currently: The Expanded Branching Model will create a Feature Branch PR to main for every Feature branch that is merged to UAT branch.
Desired: When I create a Release branch from the UAT branch, then Gearset should close all the current Feature Branch PRs to Main Branch - if and only if the Feature branch was already merged to the UAT branch.
This is related to branch pattern matching because…

Link to the Salesforce Validation in Progress from the Pipeline
When I deploy using the standard deploy interface, there is a link that allows me to view the deploy progress in Salesforce.
In pipelines, I would like this same feature. When a deploy has been running for a while, it's useful to know where it is in the process and a quick link would be quite nice.

Allow Quick Deploy when merging multiple PRs using Pipelines
currently when merging multiple prs using pipelines the merged package validates and then the prs are merged, the resulting deployment then revalidates even though quick deploy is an option, can we use quick deploy when available like was enabled in the ci jobs?
this would save time by avoiding double validation and make the feature more usefull.

When Problem Analyzer adds Fields, Add Profile Permissions Too
Currently the problem analyzer will identify missing fields. However, it doesn't prompt or allow you to add the permissions for the fields. So, you either have to go back, manually add all fields as Selected, or push the package and then go back manually and add permissions for all fields. It should prompt to add both the fields and the permissions.

Filter on UNselected items when choosing metadata to compare
When selecting metadata to compare, there is a picklist that says "Filters" and has an option for "Selected Only." Please add a second option for "Unselected Only" so I can quickly verify that I haven't left anything out without my eyes being distracted by checkboxes and items I know I already selected.

Flexible Org Monitoring Notification Scheduling
I'd love to schedule a weekly or bi-monthly digest email rather than receiving emails for each run or each change. There are developers who need to know when changes are made, but they do not need to monitor changes frequently. In those scenarios, it would be nice to schedule out a weekly review of all changes.

Send Email when a package is Validated successfully with PDF of Deployment Summary.
We currently receive an email with deployment summary as PDF attachment after successful deployment, but we also want this feature for successful manual validation. This is help us review the validated package summary with Deployment approval teams in our ORG.

Only notify the Pull-request creator on validation errors
Hi team, not sure if there is a way to do that in the current setup, but I think it would be helpful to add the option to only notify the Pull-request creator/owner on the validation errors, instead of "hardcoding" the email recipients. Regards, Adrian

Allow squash merge for Github PR
We have our GitHub PR settings set to only allow Squash and Merge for PRs because we want a clean history on the long-lived branches. It seems Gearset doesn't support this, when I attempt to promote it issues an error. This should be configurable or should detect this automatically from the settings.

Have the Jira ticket which was selected at the point of the commit stay with the PR in Pipelines
At the moment when you select a Jira ticket at the point of commiting to a branch, you are able to track that actionback into Jira.
However when a PR is opened from that feature branch to the next environment branch (in the Pipelines UI specifically) the Jira ticket association is lost, and has to be reattached manually.
Workaround:
- Put the ticket ID in the branch name, i.e. name your branch "feature/AL-99- new-flow"
- Use the drop down menu provided in the Pipelines UI to re select the Jira ticket
- Open the PR from the Commit successful screen and tick the…
