  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. Ability to Customize Export Items in Comparison

    Currently we are able to Export All of our comparisons. It would be a nice addition to have the ability to customize the export. For instance, as the GearSet user, I would like to be able to export specific items. I would also like to be able to include either the "depends on" or the "used by" items in my export as well as the specific items that are used or depended on.

    IE:
    In my export, I have selected Object A, Object B, Object C, Report 1, Report 2, Report 3, Flow X, Flow Y, Flow Z. In total…

  7. Add exclusion filters for Pipelines

    Currently, the metadata filters in pipeline (CI) jobs are either all of a type of metadata, or a defined subset. There is no option to include all, except for a couple of objects, which is oftentimes required.
    Please consider adding a negative (exclusion) filter for CI jobs, in addition to the existing positive (inclusion) filters.

  8. Include DataWeaveResource in comparisons and deployments

    DataWeaveResource has been around for a few releases and is deployable via the Metadata API, but is not supported by Gearset yet. Please include this.

  9. Persist Selection to Include/Exclude Managed Packages in Compare 2.0

    When using the new compare, the default is to exclude managed packages. However, we'd like to always include them, so it would be nice to persist the selection from one compare to the next.

  10. Adding Identity Settings to Metadata Deployment

    Would be nice, if the Identity Settings can be deployed. Currently, every change on any Identity Settings page has to be done manually in each org.

  11. Allow us to update the Associated Azure DevOps work item on a successful deployment

    Currently within the successful deployment page, you can edit the 'Deployment friendly name' and 'Deployment Notes' which is a very handy feature.

    However sometimes we would need to also update the associated work item as the wrong one can be mistakenly associated, this would be a very useful feature for us as a way of correcting such mistakes (that are in fairness rare).

  12. 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?

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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?

  16. 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.

  18. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
