  1. Ability to accept/disregard repo cleaner changes

    I would like the repo cleaner to work more like the problem analyser, offering a chance to accept or disregard the suggestions before executing it.

    Currently Repo Cleaner can only be enabled/disabled only at team level settings, thereby forcing the setting team-wide, which effectively rolls onto all the projects/repos using Gearset for deployments.

    I have come across a situation where I would not like to alter the repo with changes any more than what I have actually changed, but since its a team-wide setting the repo cleaner was getting triggered in and bringing in more changes to my repo than…

  2. Ability to filter records on field "ischanged" when doing a data backup comparison.

    Instead of just being able to filter on field values when comparing a data backup. Give the user the ability to filter on a certain field being changed.

  3. Ability to audit what users have done in Gearset

    Hi, I suggest there should be a feature which monitors what the users within your orgs have done in Gearset. As we can currently are able to view both comparison and deployment history, however this does not give an audit trail of who has changed what and where.
    For Example, the ability to review changes that a user has made to gearset comparison filters.

  4. Change the Metadata Filters and make them first class

    I would like to see a change to the metadata filtering in general.
    Filter management has become a important part of our devops process as we seek to lower our comparison timing.
    Instead of having it at the bottom corner of the compare screen, move that section to the middle of the compare screen.
    In addition, add a side bar specifically for filters that allows you to edit or delete them as well as change the sharing between personal and team. I have example screenshots for suggested layout changes here: https://faef.box.com/s/frse8jnvqsxbl8ue05x641j3wlga1quy

  5. Allow serial deployment instead of parallel

    When executing a data deployment, an 'Unable to lock row' error can occur if multiple transactions try to lock the same record in Salesforce.
    Because the batches are executed parallel, the chances of getting this error high, depending on the situation.
    For example the master record in a master:detail relationship will always get locked when a DML is executed on the child record.
    If two batches are executed at the same time and they both have at least 1 record that references the same parent, then a locking error will occur.

  6. Add ability to clone deployment CI job to validation-only CI job

    This would save us time duplicating regex statements for the new job

  7. Allow CI jobs to validate PRs of a branch into Separate Scratch Orgs

    Currently CI jobs can only validate PRs into a regular org. So if you have multiple PRs raised to that branch then you have to wait as they each run one after the other. If we could validate into separate Scratch Orgs instead then all the PR validations could run in parallel and it would speed up validation

  8. Bash scripting

    Add support for bash scripting. This is one of the most powerful features of Jenkins and something that would make a huge difference in Gearset.

  9. Archive or hide Automation jobs

    On each of the Automation dashboard views (Monitoring, Unit testing, Continuous integration) it would be nice to have a way to archive or hide job. Often times previously setup jobs that are not active but would be good to keep for historical reference can clutter the dashboard.

  10. Don't change the first 2 rows of a metadata file in version control

    Usually a Metadata file retrieved from Salesforce starts like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <PermissionSet xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">

    So two lines, first with the version and encoding UTF-8 and second with the type of metadata.

    Now when GearSet does the deployment to version control, either from an Org or a Branch it uses this styling of the first row:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><PermissionSet xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">

    So everything on one line, with the encoding in lower case.

    I don't see a logical reason this should be different in the files and is then causing differences in the version control system.
    Thanks for looking into this.

  11. Options to pick only selected custom labels metadata for salesforce.

    Since the custom labels metadata can’t be picked individually, the Gearset compare and validate process would pull in all custom label changes. This would be a concern if we want to withhold any particular custom labels from being pushed to higher environment.

  12. API to provision users, assign users to connected organisations

    API to provision users, assign users to connected organisations

    It would be hugely benificial to us (60+ connected organisations, 25 employees working in teams for multiple clients at a time) if we could programatically provision/deprovision users and provide access to connected organisations via an api.

    At the moment this is error prone manual work that has to be done by someone with high level access (and as such is usually already short on time).

  13. track metadata filter changes

    Filters are shared by default. However, if someone changes the filter, I cannot tell what has been changed, who made the change or when it was changed. Ideally, I'd like a version history for each filter.

  15. Suppress irrelevant Suggested Fixes when deploying to git

    The problem analysis comes up with a number of Suggested Fixes which may make sense for improving Salesforce deployments, but which are unproductive when applied to git deployments.

    For example, the suggestion to remove TASK.WHAT_NAME, or to omit Standard Objects, will only serve to create a git repo which is an inaccurate reflection of the source org. Each time we deploy to that git repo, we will continue to have the same changes to select or omit, since the repo is missing objects and fields from the source org.

    When the deployment target is a git repo, all suggested fixes…

  16. Display the Filter used in the Comparison history screen

    It would be helpful in finding the right comparison to look at if you could see on the Comparison History screen which filter was used. It would also be helpful when looking at the comparison details to know which filter was used.

  20. Filter on selected items

    I want to quickly be able to identify components that have not been reviewed by only seeing unselected items in the "Changed items", "New items" and "Deleted items" top level filters.

    seeing the ones I have already selected slows down productivity and I have to scroll through them. If I want to see them I can always look at the "All items" section. This information is also available in the difference type column.
