Deploy Now and Validate Package Buttons
Presently, the Deploy Now and Validate Package buttons are positioned adjacent to each other. Occasionally, there is a risk of unintentionally selecting the Deploy Now button before the package has been validated. This can result in potential issues arising. To address this, I recommend the following actions:
- Enable the Deploy Now button only after the Validate Package process is successfully completed.
- Consider repositioning the buttons within the User Interface if both buttons share the same screen.
- Alternatively, place the Deploy Now button after the Validate Package screen in the sequence.
Thanks.

Need to be made aware and/or given the opportunity to view the totality of the changes prior to deployment
Heres what happened, we deployed the Metadata AND a ChatBot. As part of our deployment, we manually updated the metadatas to contain PROD relavent info (instead of ACC info that was pushed from ACC Branch)
I also discovered that there were duplicate utterances in the Chatbot which we had to remove via manual DML deletes to ensure that the Data Model was built properly.
Then, we wanted to deploy just a Field change, and did so by merging a PR containt just the Field Change into main in Azure. This, obviously, triggered a deployment and in that deployment, the metadata…

Allow download of XML files from the comparisons page
In some instances, we have to use the Metadata API to download XML files for analysis. However, the Metadata API is a pain to use. Even Salesforce recognizes this and suggests using a migration tool like Gearset to extract these: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.246.0.api_meta.meta/api_meta/file_based.htm
Since Gearset retrieves these files during comparison, it would be great if there was an option to download them to a zip file directly.
Note: There is already a "Download Package" feature on the deployment page. However, we obviously can't add items to this page if there is no change between the orgs. So, if a similar feature were…

Ability to download/restore data in bulk
We deleted 40 000 records, now we want to download data from the backup for all of them. I can filter them, select for which I want to get it and download, the challenge is, that only 500 records are loaded by default and I can load more in a batch of 500. A lot of clicking to see all of them.

Add the ability to back up Salesforce Change sets
While we use Gearset for our change sets, we have time where a 3rd party developer or a new admin uses standard Salesforce Change sets. We have had an incident where Hyperforce wiped out all of our change sets in all sandboxes, it would beneficial to add the ability to the backup to back up change sets

Indicate from Gearset if a deployment is eligible to use Quick Deploy
I would like to be able to see from Gearset if a deployment is able to utilize Quick Deploy. This would be particularly useful for releases to production as we release after hours and our unit tests can take many hours to run. Knowing that Gearset will use Quick Deploy will increase our confidence with our release and reduce mental load knowing that the deployment will be much more likely to succeed.

Gearset VS Code Extension
My development team spend their time in VS Code where they can see all their Git information etc. It would be great to have a Gearset plugin to stop them having to switch windows and allow them to have information at their fingertips. This could also encourage more developer use of Gearset.
May display:
- Build status
- Static code analysis issues

Download Package Option does not include custom fields.
Just wanted to flag that the Download package option would be so much handier if it also included custom fields. Even with custom fields selected in my comparison, the package.xml that I can export only includes the Objects.

Allow multiple connections to the same source control system
Currently you can setup as many salesforce orgs as you would like as a source/target but you do not allow the same with VCS/Source control systems.
For example, I can only tie a single account to a single bit bucket. What if you have muiltiple bitbucket accounts that have different accesses to different repos - there is now way to do this in gearset.
You should expand the source control systems to be just like the salesforce orgs - you can configure and share as many as you would like for the same or different systems.

allow configuration of problem analysers for different target locations
If we could turn of problem analysers for specific locations (e.g. Git repos) this would allow us to remove irrelevant problem solutions from our git commits, but keep them for deployments

distinguish between components of feature branch and what is syncing to main
As a user of gearset deploying pull requests to multiple environments
I want to be able to identify actual components of the feature branch vs. what is included for syncing to main/main branch for the org being deployed to
So that there isn't the confusion of understanding what new/changes items are showing up in the commit information1 vote -
Create a link in the main menu under Data Deployments for managing Data Deployment Templates. It is not very intuitive to manage them curren
Create a link in the main menu under Data Deployments for managing Data Deployment Templates. Having to start a deployment in order to manage the templates is not very intuitive.

Automatically Defer Sharing Calculations
Salesforce has a feature to "Defer Sharing Calculations" ( https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_sharing_defer_sharing_calculations.htm&type=5 )
It would be awesome if Gearset Pipelines could have an option to utilize this, if sharing rules are included in Deployment, defer sharing rules for any validation / deployment, re-enable and recalculate after deployment

Please add Namespace/Package name as a column in the comparison view
Currently , if I pull down metadata from managed packages (e.g. with the intention of committing the custom fields we've added to managed objects or committing the permissions we've updated) this means I get all the metadata in the comparison screen, with no way of filtering out the managed packages. An example of where this is a problem/cluttering the UI is Triggers/Classes - the contents of these is always hidden, so ideally i'd like to have a column to filter them out

Ability to rerun deployments
We had a deployment in a pipeline that included a change in a managed package. the MR to the environment branch has the permission set change (access to a managed package field), but the Pipeline did not deploy it. It would be great if there was a way to "re-run" an already promoted branch, as we can't use a MR at this point to trigger, since the repository already has the change.

Provide deployment history by Salesforce ID or My Domain
If we could have a way to quickly export all changes to specific environments regardless of user who created the connection, would be ideal.
Use case: Provide a Production OrgID and be able to export all changes across all connections and manual compare-and-deploy and pipeline deployments.

Make the PR Title same as the validation friendly name and deployment friendly name
This helps us find the related validation and deployment to the CI job without having to open multiple validation/deployment records.

Allow Jira Ticket Association Changes on Commits
Please allow the Jira Ticket Associated with a Commit to be updated once the Commit is Successful. If a mistake was made prior to commit and the incorrect ticket was entered, there is not currently a way to change/adjust the associated ticket to the correct one.

Add navigation options to the data deployment process
We are making use of the data deployment tool to seed our sandboxes with test data. When you execute a template it always navigates you to the last step (which makes sense). There are times however that we need to go back to the 2nd step and change filter criteria. This includes several clicks and waiting for pages to load.
Is it possible to add a navigation bar at the top that shows the various steps so you can quickly jump to one you need to update?
ie Step 1 > Step 2 > Step 3 > etc1 vote
