Display a custom name in Salesforce when deploying from Gearset
When we deploy a change to one of our Salesforce orgs using gearset, the name that is displayed in the "Deployment Status" in Salesforce is an ID. It would be helpful to display the name that we entered in Gearset instead of the ID so that we can easily identify the changes when looking at them in Salesforce

Hi,
We have recently investigated adding this feature again, but unfortunately Salesforce still don’t seem to support being able to display custom names via the Api (or it’s a feature that’s not well documented). There are requests for adding this ability via:

If the situation changes then we’ll certainly revisit this. We’ll keep this post opened for other users to also add their votes but it’s currently out of our hands as to when or if it can be added.
Regards,
The Gearset Team

there are two use cases: user-initiated deployment and a Continuous Integration deployment

Agreed! The "Friendly Name" as entered in Gearset does not appear in the Deployment Details screen of the Deployment/Validation. See this screenshot for where the Friendly Name should appear:
