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.

Allow Data Deployment to filter lookup fields on fetched data
Currently, when doing a data deployment Gearset will let you know of all the referenced objects from the object you selected. What it doesn't do is the opposite of that - let you know all the objects that reference your object with a lookup.
It'd be great if we could add a filter to utilize some data pulled in a fetch/query during data deployment.
ex. field (TeamMember.ProjectLookup_c in {returned Project results in query in previous step of data deployment).

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}}..

Add option to suppress managed custom fields in comparison results
When comparing Custom Objects that contain the managed custom fields there is no way to suppress the managed custom fields. The fields would show up in the comparison results even without being requested. The problem analyzers then highlights and remove these managed custom fields.
This is cumbersome when repeated and makes finding genuine differences we care about more difficult.
From the problem analyzers, it sounds like Gearset is able to identify the managed custom fields. Therefore could there be an option under [Include managed package] in the Custom Filters that allows the suppression of known managed fields in comparison results?

Here's the best solution: Be able to quickly select the custom objects and standard object custom fields AND only the related metadata items
Would like to be able to quickly select the custom objects and standard object custom fields AND only the related metadata items to make then function correctly (permissions, layouts, field level security, etc..)
Then we could go back and migrate all the process automation stuff - workflow rules, flows, trigger, etc..
It always starts with the data schema first. We need a quick way to see what is different between two orgs and get that synced first

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. -
Auto merge of PRs
Once the validation process is successfully completed for the respective PR, it would be very helpful to have an option for automatic merge and deployment. This would streamline the release process and reduce manual steps.
Additionally, it would be great if we could have control at the org level to enable or disable auto merge functionality. This way, teams can decide whether they want to use auto merge based on their workflow preferences or organizational policies.
Thank you for considering these enhancements!

Delay Jira status updates until after post-deployment steps are completed
Currently, when using the Jira integration with Gearset pipelines, status updates happen immediately after the initial deployment completes, but before any post-deployment steps are executed.
We need the ability to configure Jira status updates to occur only after ALL post-deployment steps are successfully completed. This would ensure tickets only show as ready for validation when they're truly ready to be tested.
This is important for teams that have mandatory post-deployment steps (like data imports, configuration changes, or additional verifications) that must be completed before a story is actually ready for testing. The current behavior can lead to confusion when testers…

Add the ability to put CI jobs into folders
It would be great if we had the ability to put ci jobs into folders. We've accumulated a number of CI jobs. Some of these jobs are no longer in service and we're a bit reluctant to delete them as they may have historical information that we may later want or need. It would be great to be able to put things like this into folders to help reduce clutter and organize our CI jobs page. thanks for your consideration.

Get Notified if Pull Requests or Validation Fails
Our Org has Gearset Officers who handle promotions. It happens at times that I create a pull request and have it start validating (which can take a while). I'll navigate away from the screen and totally forget about it, assuming it'll get pushed to the next environment.
But sometimes there are merge conflicts, or validation fails. I'd love to get a notification, either in email, or as an integration to an attached jira ticket that it failed. That way ill be notified by slack or whatever.
Just an addendum here. We use 3 environments. Admin, UAT, and finally Production. When…

allow selecting of specific picklist values when deploying changes to picklist fields
Essentially would like to be able to cherry pick the values for a picklist value that is being deployed from a lower sandbox. Basically what you did with Precision Layout deployment for page layouts. There are times when we do not want to deploy all of the new/different values for a picklist field.

Approve Pull Requests from Gearset
Currently you have to navigate from Gearset to Github using the link from the Pull Request to approve a Pull Request. While functional, this requires going to an external system for an important Git functionality. This also creates a bit more complexity for non-technical users. If we could approve PRs directly from Gearset, that would be awesome!

Option to set and make use of 'deployment rules'
It would be great if we can have the option to set and make use of 'deployment rules':
1 - receive an alert/warning message (in gearset/via email) right before deploying to a selected target environment, for instance - a production environment if certain pre-defined metadata types are included in the deployment.
use cases: a reminder to run all test when deleting metadata, a reminder to activate a flow on target environment after deployment.
2 - block a deployment in the following case scenarions:
a - if the deployment of certain pre-defined metadata types happens within a pre-defined timeframe.
use case:…

Pipeline automatic back promote
When using pipelines, it would be helpful to have the option to automatically back promote changes through the pipeline. For example, we currently have a CI job that pushes specific changes that admins are allowed to make directly in production into our master branch. We then have a Github Action that automatically merges commits to our master branch to the other branches in the pipeline, so that everything is synced. However, in order to turn on pipeline, we have to turn off our automated merge action, because pipeline creates a bunch of PRs when the automation runs. This forces someone…

I would like to be able to deploy directly from environment variables.
This feature would allow me to setup each sandbox environment after doing a refresh from production.

Add or ignore parts of XML after the comparison to ignore other users changes
If there are multiple users making changing the metadata in Salesforce and when one has to deploy their changes, it is not possible to pick the changes that are specific to one person, For this we have to go to VS code and use git patch mode to add only the necessary changes for a specific user. If we have an option to edit the xml after the comparision and pick only necessary pieces and deploy it to next org will save time and also switching between multiple orgs. Currently the comparison editor is read only mode.

Include code coverage in deployment report
Hi,
I want to use the deployment report to monitor your progress towards improving the quality of our code.
So I need code coverage to be included in this report.7 votes
