Create a way to apply a regex to all currently selected metadata types when building a filter
The regex support you currently have doesn't really allow for complex (multi-match) regex matching, which is probably ok. (this would be something like grep -e 'this' -e 'that')
If I select, say 116 of the 124 metadata types identified, and then have to apply a regex pattern to each one, it gets pretty tedious. Click-paste-apply 116 times, and then 116 again for the other half of the complex match. I'd write a tool to automate configuring a filter in gearset. :)
If I "select all" then deselect the 8 types i don't want, and THEN apply a regex to all…

Allow filtering by Deployment Stage/Metadata Subset during comparison
This Gearset article describes some very logical phases for performing a large deployment:
https://docs.gearset.com/metadata-deployment-guides/splitting-a-complex-deployment-into-stagesIt would be nice if there were built-in comparisons to show each subset of metadata.
For example if you were on phase 1 of the deployment you could filter your comparison to just "Data Tier" and Gearset would pre-filter the relevant metadata.

Add functionality to select the changes in the component for the deployment.
I think it will be very helpful to have a possibility to deploy only some selected changes in the modified component.

Badge
To have he possibility to have badge that could be added to the readme of a git repo. Display in green if the test classes have been successful, red if error.
The same kind of badge could be used for deployment.1 vote -
Enhance the deployment history search functionality
When trying to gather packages together to combine them for a release, currently it is not possible to first limit by a text search then expand the date range (search hangs due to number of retrievals)
Could there be a way to enhance the history search to enable easier searching?

When viewing comparisons, allow the "Export All..." to utilize existing filters
When viewing a comparison... I have various filters set to exclude certain differences like "Reports, "Permission Sets". It would be nice if you provided an option on the "Export All..." page to either export everything (disregard filters) like it does now, or to respect any filters that currently exist on the comparison so that I only see the values shown on the page based on my filters.

Retain Link to JIRA Tasks When Combining Deployments
Part of our release management policy is for all deployment to be associated with JIRA tasks. I noticed that when cloning individual deployment the association with JIRA tasks is retained. However, when combining multiple deployments, the relationship with JIRA is broken and as a result, we need to re-associate each JIRA task back to the combined deployment package.

Allow retrying failed validations and deployments
I'm often running into the situation where the validation failed either due to transient circumstances in the org, or due to the org settings being incorrectly configured. In this scenario, I would like to simply retry the validation using the same package, and I'd look for that option somewhere here:
https://app.gearset.com/deployments/validations
Running a new comparison (using the "clone package" option) is unnecessary, takes a lot of time. Also using the "view comparison" option is overkill. I would rather not go through those motions of recalling the comparison results from cache, going through the analysis once again, etc. Because I know…

provide creation of immutable deployment package
I would like a way for Gearset to create an immutable deployment package that can then be deployed to different orgs. This immutable package should contain a copy of the selected objects, list of unit tests to be executed and not allow variation in the deployment except selecting the target org. This would also save time by not requiring a new comparison to run for each target org.

Allow notification for long running jobs
Allow a for a notification to be sent when a Continuous Integration job runs longer than N minutes. Most of our jobs tend to complete in under one minute, so if a job runs longer than 30 minutes, being notified would be helpful.

Better handle Shares on Report and Dashboard Folders in pre-validation
during the pre-validation of a deployment, validate that the shares exist for report and dashboard folders. Currently if they do not exist in the target they fail during deployment. Only option today is to clean them up after error in source org and then redeploy. Instead, it would be useful if gearset removed them during the pre-validation.

Cruise control feed for Deployment Steps
We are planning to let our team notify and keep informed about the deployment steps status just that they can stay informed about it. These are non-Gearset users.
Can we have a monitoring feed for Deployment steps that take place from Compare and deploy Screen 1 which contains basic deployment details (Source and Target). So as an When we progress with the deployment steps, it will keep it updated. Similar what you have for Unit Test monitoring feed. (Test monitoring Cruise Control feed)

Suggest related metadata for selected types in filter
Gearset provides some very useful documentation on the importance of including groups of related metadata in a filter.
https://docs.gearset.com/metadata-deployment-guides/using-gearset-to-deploy-profiles
It would be very helpful if the Manage Filters dialog implemented these suggestions. For example, when a Profile is included in the filter, the user should be prompted to also select Profile Password Policy, Profile Session Setting, External Data Source, Apex pages, Layouts, and Custom Objects. Otherwise, the likelihood of Gearset assembling an accurate Profile without all of the related components will be slim.
Gearset obviously has deep knowledge of metadata semantics and dependencies. The Manage Filter page needs to reflect…

custom object translation of the Product2 object
The custom object translation of the Product2 object, specifically, is not behaving like the other custom object translations. So when I changed the label of this standard Object : Product2 (Set-up -> rename tabs and labels)
i can't find it in Gearset. I have to make this change manuelly.1 vote -
Add problem analyzers to the data deployment app
Much like the problem analyzers for metadata deployments in Gearset, it would be great if you could add a problem analysis feature for data deployments after having configured what you want to deploy.
Some scenarios will almost certainly cause the data deployment to either totally fail or only partially deploy some of the records and skip records it can't deploy. Providing automatic fixes (e.g. choosing not to include duplicates) would improve the number of deployments that work 100% of the time.

Clean up source/destination drop downs to be consistent across all UI elements.
The drop down lists for picking source/destination are different in the UI.
For example, in compare and deploy production salesforce connections are not in the list alphanumerically, they are appended to the bottom while in a clone deployment they are all listed alphanumerically.
Just being picky, but consistency one way or another would be great.

Problem analysers - to ignore the user config element
On metadata deployments, I frequently struggle with Report Folders, Workflow Updates, and other configuration elements that have individual users assigned to them. The struggle is that individual users assigned to these config elements often do not exist in the target org. This results in the entire deployment failing, and many times, manually configuring the report, report folder, etc.
A nice solution to this would be a new section on the Problem analysis screen that allows me to exclude the users from the config element that is being deployed.
It is useful to call these scenarios out, because I need to…

Show *all* matching items on All Items, even if they haven't been changed.
I couldn't find a field that I was looking for today, despite searching for it specifically, because it was hidden inside it's parent object. I understand that the reason for this was something to do with there being no difference on the field (and I appreciate that the reason is to avoid clogging up the screen!), but if you're searching for a specific field, I think it should really show up...
Took me bothering someone on live chat to figure out what was going on.

Optional ability to provide a warning when targeting a deployment to a Non-Developer Production Instance
I'd love to be able to have an extra "warning" message when targeting certain orgs when clicking the "Deploy" button. The thought is that it provides an extra level of confirmation when targeting production, to help avoid mistakes. This could be an optional custom warning message set on a connection that if populated, a "Deployment Confirmation Message" is shown.
