Introduce Import/Export feature for Custom Filters
Expose the underlying JSON/XML for Custom Filters so that we can export it, modify it in a text editor either by hand or with python scripts, then load it back into the custom filter.
For example I have my main CI filter with 50ish metadata types, and every other filter is a subset which I establish by cloning the "master" filter and deselecting metadata types. Whenever I make a change to the master filter I am forced to nuke all the the "detail" filters and recreate them off the master using the above approach.
So many clicks. My preference would…

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.

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…

Email notification selection: none, success, failed deployemnts
In account settings allow me to choose what kind of notifications I want to receive to my email.
[ ] Send me success deployments notifications
[ ] Send me failed deployments notificationNo selection means do not send any notifications.
Why? With many deployments my email is bombarded with notifications. Last two weeks 65 emails which I do not read as I see status on screen. Therefore I want to turn off those notifications.

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

Allow custom rules in PMD
PMD support is great, but it would also be useful to be able to have a set of custom rules for my team
e.g. we have a code library of classes that they ought to use instead of coding their own solutions every time. Some of these cases could be spotted by a PMD rule, so it would be great to be able to add my own rules for this.

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.…9 votes -
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…

Remove "No Difference" items when commenting on jira tickets
when i connect a jira ticket to a commit, I like the way gearset posts a comment on the jira ticket listing the changed items. what I dont like is the long list of "no difference" items posted on the ticket. It makes the ticket comments super long and annoying to scroll through. can gearset update this to only post the difference metadatas, or at least give us the option to include or exclude

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 -

Users should be able to specify test classes and save them to draft deployments
Users should be able to specific and save test classes in the comparison stage so they can be saved in draft deployments. Seems like a waste of extra steps to unclick tests and select tests over and over as you work through a deploy.
also when deploys are combined, they would get all the test classes, again, saving lots of time.

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.

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}}..
