Display Permission Set changes as one entry
When working with Permission Set changes, it sometimes would be useful to see them grouped by Permission Set instead of being disaggregated by field. For example, we are migrating from using Profiles to Permission sets to grant all access. Currently, if we make changes to many (>100) fields in two different Permission Sets, we have to review many (>100) entries. Also, grouping by permission set would allow us to deploy changes to one Permission Set while ignoring the other.

This would be huge to have this option.
This aligns with the way Salesforce treats a permission set xml as a single unit. And this is the whole reason why permission sets are preferred now over profiles, because profiles came apart into so many pieces and you had to combine so many metadata types to retrieve (and then deploy) profile changes.
Additionally my end users will commonly use the "Select All" checkbox in Salesforce to add fls to every permission set in the SF provided "short list". When this happens, the only way to fix it is to back out the fls one at a time on the extra permission sets in the sandbox because Gearset currently aggregates all perm set changes by custom field permission - I can't select which permission sets I want to include in my changes.
