  1. Picklist Comparison should show if value is active/inactive

    When comparing a picklist in which we have deactivated values, the simplified comparison visualization shows the deactivated values as being "added" (in green, on the source side).

    The XML reveals <isactive>false</isactive> is being added, but the simplified view seems to suggest new values are added instead

  2. New, one-click "Promote" button is very risky

    In Deployment Pipelines when a PR for a CI Job is selected, a new, one-click "Promote" button exists, if the PR passes merge-conflict and validation checks. This new button is very risky in that it begins the promotion process, without recourse, when clicked.

    Perhaps that's the designers intent but for myself at least, the button is too easy to accidentally click out of inattention, distraction or mouse clumsiness and is especially risky in that I cannot recall the action.

    Personally I like the process of clicking the PR checkbox and clicking "Promote", which prevents unintended deployments.

    As an alternative to…

  3. audit report missing PR message

    The audit reports don't include much context of the deployment, which means they are pretty useless to us and do not serve our auditors' needs. Specifically, they do not include the PR message for deployments through our pipeline, which means we can't link each deployment to the specific ticket responsible for that deployment. The PR message is where we put our ticket. This information is needed for our SOX audit process. Additionally, we can not see a link back to the deployment, which would allow us to quickly reference the specific metadata files/components that were deployed.

  4. Pre-fill Pull Request Description with comments from last commits

    In order to save time, when a Pull Request is created from the Pipeline, the Description field could be pre-filled with the comments from the last commits in the feature branch, instead of forcing the User to type something.

  5. Use location of metadata in source branch or local folder when adding to target branch

    When adding a file from a branch or local folder (source) to another branch (target) not having the file, use its location in the source as the location in the target.

    Currently all new files are placed in the default folder [1].

    Let's assume a new file, "HelloWorld.cls", in the source is located in .../force-app/main/default/classes/special/ and that class doesn't exist in the target. When the deployment is complete the file should exist in the target's .../force-app/main/default/classes/special/ folder, matching its location in the source. Currently it would be placed in .../force-app/main/default/classes/.

  6. Save sort order of grids

    It would be nice to be able to sort by column names and save that sort order for the next time the page loads or save a default sort order. We sort often by jobname and would like to not have to resort everytime we need to touch a ci job to sort the column.

  7. Add support for CMS Collections

    Please add support for CMS Collections in the comparison filters as well as the deployments and CI jobs.
    We're working with CMS Collections in our current developments of a customer community and we'd like to deploy this metadata as well.

  8. is it possible to add a filter for "selected feature branches only" ?

  10. Show Date/Time of Validation Run in Validation Details

    I would like to see the "Effective Date" of a validation in the Validation Details screen (at /continuous-integration-job-validation-errors).

    I only ever access this information from the Deployment pipelines and so don't ever see the date/time the validation was run (near as I can tell this is only available in the CI jobs section).

    To better explain my reason for asking:
    Oftentimes when a validation fails it is sufficient to rerun the validation (on account of Delta CI jobs doing weird things sometimes). What I've found myself doing is perusing the validation errors, clicking "retry validation", then going about other tasks…

  11. Visibility to Log Files for Connections and Compare & Deploy Events

    When you either make connections to 3rd party applications or run a Compare & Deploy, there is no visibility to the log files, I feel these should be accessible to the user so that we can understand the reason why something is failing and not have to have someone provide this information. Additionally it should have options to change the level of logging to provide detailed information when needed

  12. Vlocity Metadata Types collapse during Compare & Deploy

    When you start the Compare & Deploy, for Salesforce Objects, you see all the metadata types broken out as they get completed for 204 types. For Vlocity there are 83 types to select, but when you run the comparison, it collapses to just 1 type of Vlocity. It should show progress similar to hwo the Salesforce Metadata types work

  13. Filter metadata types based on whether org is licensed for that metadata or user permissions for that metadata

    Compare 2.0 Metadata types

    Why am I seeing Fuel Type and Fuel Type Sustainability Unit of Measure ? Running user needs a special permission set to see these metadata types and I, as running user in Gearset, don’t have this permission set.

    This is an example of a general suggestion wherein if the source org/running user isn’t licensed/permissioned for some SFDC metadata, it shouldn’t appear in the (lengthy) enumeration of metadata types

    Other examples are Live Chat XXX, PaymentGatewayProvider, SchedulingXXX,SustainabilityUom,SustnUomConversion, WebStoreXXX and many more

  14. User Data & Logs

    For audit reason we have been asked to provide a comprehensive user list with the following data:

    User Status (Active/Inactive)
    User Creation/Removal Date
    Created/Removed/Updated by
    Updated Value (if you change the role of a user from member to owner or opposite)
    User Last Login Date

    These data are part of the user audit control (create/update/remove users) and are very important to prove you have control who gets access, and there is no risk for unauthorized access but also to prove that segregation of duties is in place.

    Thank you!

  15. Allow XML comparison to be exported

    Being able to extract the XML for the change and the target's differences would allow us to analyze and track label/code changes versus just ordering or location changes.

    My issue is similar to the "Enhance XML meta data comparison to ignore changes in XML order" and "Export Comparison details all items" and "Allow download of XML files from the comparisons page"

  16. Search with components returned by metadata comparison

    Performing a search across the returned components xml would be helpful. In our org we add a JIRA ticket reference to the Description - having the ability to search for the ticket number string would help narrow the list.

  17. Show PR Flow changes in Flow Navigator View

    New new Flow Navigator view is really good.
    It is such a shame that I am only able to view flow in flow navigator in comparison view (when creating pull request).
    I would love to be able to open flow in flow navigator directly from teammates open pull requests. That would really speed up reviewing flow changes cuz reading metadata on VCS is not the clearest thing to do.

  18. deploy user records via REST api

    Currently there is no way to deploy user records via Gearset because the Data Deployment feature uses the Bulk API. This is painful for those cases when we have sandbox testers that we need to move between sandboxes!! Please add the ability to deploy users via REST API.

  19. Expand Notifications Capabilities

    Currently 'Notifications' found under 'Settings' in 'My Account' allow for send outs for your owned connections. It would be helpful to have the ability to make notifications for connections that have been delegated to you as well.

  20. Ability to move existing field to be under another section on layout

    If I have multiple sections on my layout.
    I have a specific field under one layout section, but now I changed the layout so the field no is moved to another section.
    Now I can't do that because the compare and deploy forces me to override the existing section where the field is under.
    My intention is to move the field place to be under another section and not delete the other layout section
