Display which apex triggers have low code coverage if a deployment fails
It would be great if Gearset can surface which Apex trigger has 0% code coverage when a deployment fails.

Provide option to disable parallel apex testing in Scheduled Tests
Scheduled Test runs can fail due to UNABLETOLOCK_ROW errors. This is due to what amounts to a bug in SF: accessing public custom settings in tests which are run in parallel can cause deadlocks. Really, the tests ought to be isolated from each other, but they are not. See:
The workaround in SF is to disable parallel apex testing.
If Gearset could do that during the scheduled test run, it would prevent false test failures.
I guess I could change the option on the SF org, but sometimes parallel testing is useful, so I wouldn't want to…

Provide the ability to get a deployment report on multiple deployment packages
Instead of having to download the deployment report individually for multiple deployments, I would like to be able to select multiple deployments and download one report that contains a list of all files that were deployed as part of the multiple deployments. It is too cumbersome to manually download a report or .csv for each deployment and then copy/paste the info into one location so that I can get a comprehensive list of all files that were deployed.

Option to create a CI job only for back propagation
We created some CI jobs for back propagation of changes from Production to other downstream branches and orgs. But these CI jobs also pick up pull requests(from a different pipeline) for forward propagation.
So, basically there is no way currently to create a CI job just for back propagation. It will be good to have a toggle in the CI job to mark it for forward or backward propagation8 votes -
Cleanup Layout Assignments
When you rename a Layout, the previous Layout Assignment won't be cleaned up on the Profile.
This should be cleaned by the Repo dependency cleaner.8 votes -
Allow record data load from CSV file
While it is nice to deploy record data from org to org with Gearset, it would also be nice to be able to deploy data from a CSV file, with the ability to custom map the headers. Native Salesforce Dataloader has this capability, as well as many 3rd party tools out there. Please incorporate this capability into Gearset.

Expose Salesforce Validation Errors within Github PR
Currently when a PR Validation fails (Deploy CI Job with Validate Target setting turned on), the user can click the Gearset "Details" link to go into Gearset to see the exact error.
Many of our devs use VS Code and Github for their daily work and only rely on Gearset for the CI job. Having them jump into Gearset just to see the error is time consuming and not very intuitive for them. Sure we can find the same errors within the target org of the CI, but at that point the list of validations is large and it's hard…

swapping source and target after compare
I was doing compare between our 2 orgs (Source: UAT, Target: DEVSTG) and I realized that I got the order wrong. Should be (Source: DEVSTG, Target: UAT). But the compare has already completed.
I wish there is a way to just flip (swap) the source and target without re-comparing as it takes some time comparing between orgs.

Keep list of specified tests
When choosing specified tests to do a validation, let's say from a comparison that was created from a bunch of drafts that were combined, the pop-up will show the specified tests that were chosen originally for those drafts that were combined. That is awesome and is exactly what I want.
The problem is the "Fetching test classes from Salesforce" then occurs automatically and replaces that list with the full list of test classes, and check the boxes for all of them, replacing my existing list. That means I have to go back and choose my list of specified tests again.

When Field is Deleted Permission Set changes are not recognized for the Field
Let's say we have only one object in the system. Addressc. And we have one Permission Set -> "System Administrator" with only "FieldPermissions" for all fields in the "Addressc" object.
Now I wish to Remove 2 Fields from "FieldPermissions" of the "System Administrator" Permission Set.
1st Field I'm removing just because I do not want the permission to be in the Permission set
2d Field I'm Removing from Permission Set, as I have physically deleted the Field.On Compare And Deploy Page I will See Deleted Field and I will see only one Section to be removed from…

Compare metadata by "Changed Date" for both "Source" and "Target"
In "Compare and Deploy", is there a way to add a column for "Changed Date" for the Source item, in addition to the Target item?
I want to select all the items which were more recently changed in the Source than in the Target. In my current large org compare-and-deploy, I see many items which are different but the one in the Target was more recently changed, so I don't want to overwrite that item in the Target.

Add Upload CSV functionality to create an upload template for CPQ deployments
For CPQ Deployments add an "Upload from CSV" feature where a user could upload a file with specific External IDs across multiple objects to tell Gearset what to migrate in a single click.
For example, the user could list the Object API name in Column A of the sheet and the External ID in column B and then Gearset would parse this and create a Data Deployment based off of those records specifically. This would be incredibly useful for any CPQ deployment where you need to only deploy specific records not the entire object!

Link to test runs in Slack messages (or Slack messsage customisaton/templating)
I have automated test jobs post about failed tests to our Slack. I want the posted Slack message to include a direct (though maybe shortened) link to the "Test run details" so that when we see Gearset telling us about some tests starting to fail I would be one click away from seeing a view of failed tests the message is talking about.
Next/bigger step would be a way to shape the Slack messages ourselves. The most basic templating setup where I could write my own Slack message with some placeholders like {{instancename}} or {{failedtests_link}}..

Offer to push components that passed validation even if some items failed
For large payloads (thousands of artifacts) it can be tedious to try to resolve a few minor issues when 99% of the package will deploy successfully. Having a feature to push stuff that passes validation would be helpful. Included in this in the deployment summary and deployment reports will be a count and list of items that failed validation and were omitted from the package so they can be investigated

Improve PermissionSet comparisons by providing an option to ignore fieldPermissions when their editable/readable are set to false
Current Metadata Behavior:
When a new object is added, objectPermissions are only added to a PermissionSet only if one of allowCreate, allowDelete, allowEdit, modifyAllRecords, viewAllRecords are set to true
When a new field is added, the new fieldPermission is added to all PermissionSets by default (with editable and readable set to false).
NB. PermissionSets are additive in behavior and can only open up access not revoke. Values of false have no meaning and are only noise.Current Gearset Comparison Behavior:
Comparing PermissionSets show these new fieldPermssions as New Items even when default values for editable, readable are set to false.…8 votes -

Send a link to the report in the notification
It'd be nice to have a link to the report included in the notification for any scheduled monitoring, test run or deployment/validation.
8 votesThanks for the suggestion.
When you run a deployment, the deployment success email contains the PDF of the deployment report, as well as a link to your deployment history to view the full information.
For the test/change monitoring emails, what sort of report would you like to see? Would you like to see the full information on tests run or just a summary of key stats?
We don’t currently provide the ability to export PDF reports for our change and test monitoring jobs in the same way as our deployments, but it’s something we’ve been thinking about putting in.
Thanks,
Jason.
