  1. 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…

  2. Allow automated unit test execution to run tests synchronously

    When unit tests are run in parallel you can often get intermittent errors such as UNABLETOLOCK_ROW. When running tests from Salesforce you are able to specify running tests synchronously which takes longer but prevents conflicts between tests. Can this option be added to Gearset for the automated test running?

  3. Export and Import Gearset metadata filters to other Gearset instances

    This idea feels relevant to Gearset customers that are consultants or in professional services teams.

    Our team will be managing multiple instances of Gearset for various clients. During the initial setup and also over the long term maintenance of those instances, it would be ideal to standardize the custom metadata filters being used. The base filters would be the same starting point for all instances, because of the references to namespaces and certain metadata types involved in our projects.

    Currently, the filters will need to be part of the post-instance setup steps. It would be ideal to be able to…

  4. Deploy monitor results changes to target org directly from the compare screen

    I get the a monitoring results email. When I click it it takes me to the comparison screen
    Right now to deploy those changes I have to go to Monitoring > Filter by name > View History > Select the right one > Deploy changes to target org.

    Those are 5 clicks to get to a place I just was in! It would be great if I could deploy the changes to the target org directly from the screenshot comparing screen.

  5. quote term

    For CPQ Quote Term, the name column only shows "Approved" which is not meaningful.
    Please switch to using the "Name" field which is a auto generated number (e.g. QT-0209) that is displayed in the user interface and therefore a meaningful identifier.

  6. Add configurable email reminders for scratch org expiration.

    From Salesforce orgs and Dev Hubs, it would be great if there were a setting that would automatically send an email when a scratch org is approaching expiration. This could be configurable per Dev Hub, and would help prevent data loss at scratch org expiration.

  7. Show the status of a CI deployment on the pull request

    We use merge-based deployments, so whenever a Github pull request gets merged to /main, a CI deployment job fires that deploys the content of the PR to Production.

    The issue is that at the moment all Merged PRs look the same, whether the deployment actually succeeded, or failed. There's no way to tell, or even to follow progress, unless we ask people to open the Gearset job and then look at the deployments for that job etc. which is quite a bit of a faff.

    Validation jobs do display on the PR whether they passed or failed, the same feature…

  8. 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…

  9. Option to download problem analyzer template

    Option to download the problem analyzer template so users have an option to add it to the custom github actions scripts to run CI validations for their own delta comparisons.

  10. 'Continuous integration' menu item links (redirects) to Deployment Pipelines

    When I click on 'Continuous integration' in the left menu it goes (redirects) to Deployment Pipelines (https://app.gearset.com/deployment-pipelines?pipelineId=xxx) by default since a week or so! 👎

    I just want that menu item to keep on going to the 'Continuous integration dashboard' (https://app.gearset.com/continuous-integration).
    What's in the name (of the menu item)! 😉

  11. 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.

  12. link deployment to a salesforce case

    The ability to link a Gearset deployment to a salesforce case record. If an org uses cases to track a bug or feature, this feature would close the loop from that case to the gearset deployment.

    I understand that there is a post to chatter functionality but it would be nice to target a specific case for auditing purposes.

  15. When Deploying A Page Layout, Consider Quick Actions to be Dependencies When Checking for Package Issues

    Problem analysis doesn't catch if a page layout has a Quick Action that isn't present in the destination. This causes the package to error on send.

  16. Read the PR title and prevent making feature branches for specific PRs against pipeline branches

    If Dependabot opens a PR to update, say, a dev-dependency, then Gearset intercepts that and does its thing, including back-propagating that PR. But if I'm making branches from main, all I need is that PR to be merged to main, and it will come along the pipeline with other PRs opened against the beginning of my pipeline.

    If you read [skip ci] in the PR title, or perhaps if the PR starts with a specific prefix (like ci or build, which would follow conventional commits) then just let that PR go against main and ignore it.

    I have workflow to…

  17. Don't include Wave dataflow deletes in package when Recipe is included

    When deploying deletes of Wave recipes, if you include the Dataflow at the same time, Salesforce will fail validation with a DataFlow not found error. GearSet should be smart enough to build the package without the Dataflow if the corresponding Recipe is marked for delete.

  18. Schedule Delta CI Job to Run at Specific Time

    I would like the ability to schedule a Delta CI Deployment Job at a specific time. We have a requirement to deploy at weird times every once in a while.
    Code gets merged into our MAIN branch > Delta CI Deployment Job is disabled > click "run" on the job at specific time.

    It would be great if someone didn't have to wake up at 3am to click the "run" button.

  19. Yellow help icon

    i love the help you guys provide, really great.
    Suggestion.. The yellow circle that you open and drop down.
    1) can you move it to the header, and if there is a pending message show the yellow circle with a number in it ( number is count of pending messages )
    2) can you make it a separate window model? typically when i am chatting, i need to see the entire screen and the current pinned model is usually in the way and i need to click the arrow to get rid of it.
    If i could drag the window…

  20. Ability to turn rules/processes off as needed with ability to rollback

    There are times when need to update data or load data into Salesforce org and need to turn off rules or processes before updating data or loading the data. When doing a data deployment, GearSet has this ability, and I would like to have this ability to do this without a data deployment. Ability to turn off Validation Rules, Required Fields, Restricted Picklist, Workflow Rules, Flows/Process Builders, and Triggers one by one or turn off all. Then roll back once finished updates.
