  1. Allow invited people to replicate data and metadata from Backup job

    Allow the ability to replicate data and metadata for persons with full permissions to a backup job even if they did not create the backup job

    With several administrators for a Salesforce organization, the objective with a backup is that in case of an emergency or error it can be fixed within a short period of time to avoid downtime. The backup job allows us to have a copy of our data, but it would also be great if we could have a copy of the person who is responsible for the backup. With just one person being able to…

  2. Ability to trigger different CI jobs or changing the targets based on the user who did the commit in source control

    Related to CI jobs can you set up multiple jobs to trigger based on which user did the commit to source control? The goal would be having the deployment / last modified dates in SF reflect which user did the commit in source control and triggered the CI job.

    I don't think that's possible as I don't see any kind of filter or way to manage which CI job should fire when source control is updated so the audit history in SF will only reflect one specific user doing the deployments and people would need to review the details in…

  4. Add Component's Label and API Name to Export CSV results

    Please include columns for the components Label and API Name along with the Item Type and Display Name when exporting to CSV.

    Use Case - We use the Export results as a formal Deployment Log that we sharing with a Client's project team. In that log, we include the component's Label, API Name, and metadata Type. Most recipients of this Deployment Log are unfamiliar with the API Name which may not even closely match what the Label is. Having both in this Log would greatly enhance this understanding.

    Thanks in advance!

  5. Don't auto-select all tests when choosing "Select which tests to run"

    When selecting "Select which tests to run" Gearset shows the tests included in the comparison first, but the moment all other tests are loaded, everything is selected.

    When choosing this option, the tests included in the comparison should stay on top and selected, and the rest of the test should be added alphabetically but UNSELECTED.

    If I'm choosing this option, I probably only want to run some tests. I think it would be much easier this way. Usually you need to run the tests included in the comparison and maybe one or two more.

  6. Use package xml to populate metadata filter

    I suggest to add the ability to upload the package.xml manifest files to populate the metadata filter before the comparison step of an org to git or org to org deployment.

    A lot of Salesforce developers use package.xml files locally to deploy some parts of the functionality in order to speed up the deployment process.
    Currently, Gearset allows you to select the components via Custom Filters, but it is slow to select about 20 components manually. Uploading the package manifest from the local machine can speed up the process very much,

  7. Change Data Capture

    When installing a Integration Platform you have to enable the Change Data Capture in order for the platform to receive notifications on changes. At the moment updates under Setup/Integrations/Change Data Capture can not be deployed by Gearset :-(.

  8. Basic Authentication with Jira

    As our local hosted Jira instance doesn't allow unnamed connections it would be great to have a basic (username + password) authentication for Jira as well as Bitbucket.

  9. csv export comparison CSV doesn't identify source and targets

    When you export a comparison (e.g. selected items), the CSV has column headers for Source and Target. So, someone looking at the CSV can't tell what the source was (org friendly name/repo+branch name) or what the target was (" ")

    The file name identifies the source org by xxx@example.com .... but no friendly name which is key when source is a scratch org. No identification of the target at all in the csv file name.

  10. Allow custom endpoints for webhooks from Unit Testing and Monitoring Jobs

    You can post to Slack, Teams, and Chatter when an org monitoring job runs. But, as a consultancy, we'd like to post to our own SF org in a more general way. We have records for each of our customers, and it would be good to be able to report on summary data about the Gearset's monitoring for those customers.

    If there were a configurable endpoint we could target that at a custom REST endpoint on our Salesforce and then join things up.

  12. Allow

    1. Once the comparison is completed. Gearset should tell us which commit Id belongs that changes.

    2. Gearset should allow the users to deploy per branch. User will be allowed to cherry pick commit Ids then that commit ids will be package and able to deploy it.

  13. Monitoring enhancement: compare permissions across users

    It would be cool if the Gearset Permissions Explorer would help you in determining how to collapse Profiles into fewer numbers. The model would be https://perm-comparator.herokuapp.com/

    A typical org has proliferated Profiles over the years, many only slightly different from one another. As SFDC wants us to move to Permission Sets, job one is to collapse the profiles into as few as possible - this requires comparing user permissions against each other (you can't just compare profiles, you need to know what additional permissions some users have vs others too)

    Since SFDC is finally making dynamic Lightning pages GA (for…

  15. Don't Delete Managed Package's object permissions from Permission Sets in CI jobs

    In a CI job, using source control as the source and including deleted items, you can run into an issue where objects from managed packages show as "deleted" in terms of custom object permissions from permission sets that have access to them. This can occur for permission sets designed to give access to managed package features or if you have a permission set with "View all data" or a system permission that gives them access to all objects in some capacity (read, write).

    Ideally, we wouldn't have to include managed package object permissions into Source Control (likewise, Gearset suggests only…

  16. Avoid spurious differences in LeadConvert

    SFDC seems to retrieve the lead convert settings in non-deterministic order between orgs . Display only true changes/adds/deletes rather than differences in ordering of the mappings as they make no difference to the runtime execution of Lead Conversion

  17. it would be great if deployments could be done automatically based on a event trigger

    To facilitate Automated Testing, it would be great if a deployment could be triggered by an event (such as a commit by a dev), so that an org is created to allow functional automated tests (not unit tests) to be run automatically without requiring any manual process

  19. Avoid manual selection of component while compare and deploy

    Good to have options in Gearset to auto select changed metadata files(changed as a part of pull request) while doing Compare and deploy.
    Imagine one pull request number 5377 (which is changing 200 metadata files moved from 1 branch to another branch).
    Now while doing compare and deploy It is good to have options which auto select this 200 metadata for comparison. This can help me from this manual selection of 200 metadata files which is very time consuming.

  20. allow users to customize Slack notifications

    It would be great to have some ability to customize the notifications, specifically:
    - change sender/title. right now it just shows up as my name.
    - add a link to the monitoring history to allow wasy one-click into monitoring reports to see what specifically has changed.
