  1. add Dashboard owner to Problem Analysis to use user deploying instead in xml ref

    Spring '24 Salesforce added ability to change Owner on a Dashboard https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_rd_dashboards_change_owner.htm&release=248&type=5

    "Previously, you had to clone or re-create the dashboard to provide access to a new owner."

    This can now cause deployment errors when the Owner is changing between environments if the Uesr does not exist, similar to runningUser user references. Problem Analysis accounts for the latter, but not the Owner. Could we add the Owner scenario to this analysis rule?

  2. apex classes dependencies

    When deploying an apex class, check for dependencies. Currently it attempts to deploy even if there are missing fields and only reports missing fields one at a time. Very tedious to address.

  3. Allow disabling of "Caching metadata for faster analysis"

    Often this stage of the process seems to take much longer (upwards of an hour) than retreiving and analysing did in the first place.

    It's unclear where this is even being cached, i've been told its in my own browser but this cant be true for a CI job with no browser available.

  4. To have an option to run unit tests either for Validation or Deployment or both

    Hi - for larger projects with 100 plus or more unit tests, deployments do slow down if there are a lot of them during the day and unit tests run twice. Once during validation and once during deployments. Can we have an option where unit tests can be turned on/off for validation and deployment separately?

  5. Include the ability to tag/mention someone in the Gearset notes when linking a work item to Azure Devops

    Currently, you can post notes in Gearset and these show up in the comments of any linked work item in Azure DevOps, which is brilliant!

    The only issue is we cannot leverage the mention/tag functionality, including this would further streamline our deployment process and remove a manual step of having to deploy via Gearset and then manually tag a colleague to update them.

  7. Roll back feature branches all at once

    The tool works really well in the UI promoting things forward through the pipeline. You can select one or more feature branches and promote them one at a time or all at once. It would be great if you could do the same thing with roll-backs. This would make things clean simple and alleviate the fear that you accidentally left something out or accidentally roll-back something you didn't mean to

    given that the need for roll-back functionality is inherently somewhat urgent, the tedious nature of having to carefully pick through a larger subset of metadata items to roll-back makes it…

  8. Expand integration for our Pipelines to allow us to enable tools like SonarQube and Veracode to run as part of our DevOps process.

    We use tools like SonarQube and Veracode within our company to improve our security and code quality. It would be extremely helpful to have integrations with these tools or an open integration we could configure to work with them. Especially if that could be triggered as part of our pipeline process so this interaction is automated.

  9. Improve Github Authentication and Access Control

    While authenticating with Github, GearSet asks for too many access request including read/write access to all public & private repos which doesn't make sense.

    Alternate Custom Git Auth does not allow teams to create team wide CI jobs.
    And with User - specific CI Jobs, It does not allow us to setup "Validate open PR" jobs.

    Please provide better resolutions on authentication and job setup processes.

  10. Add to Problem Analysis option to auto remove DelegatedAccount tab settings

    Add to Problem Analysis option to auto remove DelegatedAccount tab settings since it's an invalid tab and can cause validation/deployment errors. This saves a step of having to change Custom Object filter to Named Items and manually exclude DelegatedAccount when moving new profiles.

  11. Option to not run job periodically

    In the "Run job" field allow an option to don't run job periodically at all. Sometimes we nedd a job to run only manually, when needed, and now I need to remember to disable it manually each time

  12. Have you all ever thought of putting GPT into this and having AI built release notes?

    Have you all ever thought of putting GPT into this and having AI built release notes? Sonar has an AI Data Dictionary which we're trying to hack to use for this purpose, then i realized...HEY...this would be easier to do on the release layer right in gearset. Figured I'd share that I would bet a lot of customers would use that.

    An AI that explains the change between the feature branch and the main branch for the releases built would be so nutty on administrative time saved.

  13. Terse Slack/Teams Notifications

    Provide a Terse Notification format for Teams and Slack Notifications.

    Currently, the amount of information in Teams and Slack notifications is satisfactory, however the presentation in the chat app is very dense and can take some time to grok when you're browsing the history of these messages either scanning the jobs that have run over the past few hours in your channel, or just trying to understand what just happened from the push notification that went to your phone.

    Ideally, the first sentence is terse and is separated by white space from the remainder of the current paragraph format.

    The…

  14. More efficient spacing on Pipeline environments

    We can only see 4 sandboxes at a time when fully zoomed out. We have 9 sandboxes. Since we aren't able to zoom out further or rearrange the sandboxes we are constantly dragging the screen to pan up and down, to see the state of the orgs.
    There is so much whitespace in each node, any chance you could lessen the padding/spacing between the lines in each box/env/node, or between the nodes themselves? Maybe proportional to the max nodes in a single column?

  17. Comparison of draft deployments

    Two teams who are supposed to be working on different parts of the sandbox org have created two draft deployments. I would like to compare these draft deployments to see if there is any overlap of selected items.

  18. Highlight "Failed Validation" Components

    If the metadata Deployment Validation step fails, and the user clicks the "Back to Comparison" button, the components that caused the failure should be highlighted on the screen for manual review.

    Currently, when a deployment fails on the validation step, my process is:
    - Wait until the Validation step is done
    - Sort by the Status to show Failures on top
    - Take a screenshot of the list of errors (hopefully less than a full screen of errors)
    - Click the "Back to Comparison" button
    - Use the screenshot like a checklist to work through the errors
    - Run Validation…

  19. Multiple sort columns for comparison results

    It would be helpful to be able to sort comparison results on multiple columns (e.g. first by Metadata type, then by Name). Currently it seems that the results can only be sorted by one column at a time.

  20. Soft delete of deployment History

    When a person deletes a deployment history that was successfully deployed, it would be good if that deletion was only a Soft Delete and could be recovered within 90days.
