Validation Failures - Show Error in Table
In the new UI for Validation to view failed test classes error messages you must click into each failed class to view the details.
The previous UI showed "part" of the error message within the table. This was extremely useful in identifying all of the "unique" errors that are occurring.
IE: If 58 test classes fail from "4" unique issues -- then in order to determine that you may need to click into all 58 test classes or fix one at a time --> refresh --> validate.
This is just a time save feature.

Show history of changes for a component
When performing forensic analysis regarding how or why something started working differently, it would be a great timesaver to be able to select a component and then be able to select the data comparisons for just that component. For example, select an apex class and then pick date dates so the system can display what changed. I would expect that this would be quicker than going into Monitoring Histories and picking each date and waiting for it to build the entire comparison of everything that changed and then having to find the component of interest.
A follow on to this…

Allow for custom metadata permissions to be included with a single click when custom fields are being deployed
For example; when adding new custom fields, you generally have to add the permissions as an additional line item to the deployment. Having a checkbox or something that will have gearset automatically add the permissions associated with the metadata currently in the deployment list would speed up the process. Users should also be allowed to deselect lines that were automatically added.

Remind repo owner to upgrade metadata on SFDC version change
Your blog post https://gearset.com/blog/mdapi-versioning-and-version-control says it all under the paragraph labeled "Upgradingyour repository's metadata"
But there's no real reminder to tell the team that this is a meritorious idea. My suggestion is that for the first 30 days after PROD is updated, you could display (in color) some alert (or maybe introduce a messages feature) wherein you tell the team that the repo's package.xml is out of date (version wise) with PROD version and provide pointers on how to upgrade, including nuances like Flows (v44).
It is too easy to get lazy and leave the repo metadata out of date…

Enable Defaults or Recently Used on Clone Deployment Page
When you clone a deployment package you have to select your Source details, but the selections do not default to the the last used settings or to a recently/commonly used settings. This is a minor annoyance but in other parts of GS you have the last selected options already selected based on user history, so hoping you can extend this to the Clone page

Allow option to select certain test classes to NOT run. Include an exclusion list of tests not to run
When deploying code, it would be nice to have an option of having an exclusion list of test classes to not run.

Build Comparison Manifest from pull request
It would be cool if the custom deployment configuration could be driven from a Pull Request . For example, in GitHub, the Pull Request knows which files were changed and approved. Why not use that list to instantly populate a comparison to create a deployable manifest to go from source control to org?

Allow changing of public group membership via Gearset
Right now, the only way to edit a group's membership is via the API (users or groups only) or the UI (additionally allows roles, roles and internal subordinates, etc.). Please allow the editing of group membership of public groups.

Ability to set a friendly name to the package
Should it be possible to set an equivalent of "friendly name" in Gearset but one that can also be spread to Saleforfce.

Please, please, please get US FedRAMP approval.
The ability to use this product for CI/CD and various other use cases in the US federal space would be a huge win for many agencies. I know the FedRAMP process is quite arduous, but the contractual potential here is pretty massive.

Enhance capabilities around 'co-administration'
In our organization we have a couple different salesforce admins that are administrating the salesforce development pipeline in which several developers are making changes and deploying them via gearset. Right now it seems cumbersome/duplicative to do this particularly around the area of adding a sandbox org and then managing permissions of the developers to that sandbox. It would be nice if there was a way for one admin to connect the sandbox, grant the other admin "Owner-level" access to it, and for the two admins to have a shared view of the user access to that org, so I can…

Add deployment support for Macros
Macros deserve to be added to source control yet there is no way to do this with Gearset:
1) Data feature (paid add-on) doesn't deploy to/from source
2) PRO/Enterprise can't source/target deploy Macros because it is not available with the Metadata API.Since macros represent some debugged logic, managing in source control makes sense. Curiously, SFDC has chosen to make Documents available via Metadata API but not Macros

Show the Created Date and Refresh Date on the Draft Deployments
I understand the Draft Deployments are snapshots from when they were created or last refreshed. Is that right? Please show these fields on the Draft Deployments page.

Test run details: show failed tests tab first
When user clicks on test run details, Gearset defaults to the successes tab. But no one clicks on test Run details to see successes; they want to see failures. Default tab should be failures, especially if non-zero
Saves user a click and supports DWIM - "do what I mean" when clicking Test Run Details

Indicate whether a Validated Package is enabled for Quick Deploy
T0 - You Validate a package to PROD (run all tests)
T1 - You or someone else does a deployment of something else, no matter how minor, to PROD.
T2 - You click Deploy of the Validated Package from T0, all the apex tests are rerun. This is by design per SFDC yet Gearset doesn't tell you in advance that Quick Deploy is not available. Something you think will take a couple of minutes now takes 30 minutes or more. You think you screwed up or Gearset is broken
Suggestion: On Validated Packages page and on the page of a…

Allow renaming of picklist values instead of creating new and deactivating
Currently, when you rename existing picklist values in the source org (including renaming the API name of that value), Gearset will deploy this to the target org as a new picklist value and deactivate the old value. This means we have to manually delete the value in the target org and specify which value to use to replace on existing records.
It would be great if Gearset could give the option to map a picklist value in the source to a picklist value in the target and allow a rename of the value in the target.

When running "Compare and Deploy", or via a similar mechanism, allow the target to be a local zip
In rarer situations where I need to make some manual adjustments to the metadata XML for a deployment, I'd like to be able to download the metadata to adjust it. Today you need to go through a compare, and at the end, you can download the package, but this can be problematic, since you have to choose the target org, there need to be differences, etc.
Instead, it would be useful to just choose the source org, select the metadata items, and save the package, without a target org needed.
