  1. Using Back Promotion for single Environments only and selective PR's only

    We normally update our developer orgs with the "update sync" function after the PROD release. However, sometimes we have changes that are build on top of each other but developed by multiple devs and therefore orgs.

    In that cases, it would be nice to turn on "back promotion" but only for certain environments where it is needed and not globaly. In addition, being able to selectively create back promotions for PRs would be nice as well.

    At the moment, if the feature is activated, Gearset is creating a back promotion for every PR, regardless if it is needed or not.…

  2. Select All PRs for promotion

    When promoting PRs from one environment to another in the pipeline, it would be useful to have a "Select All" option

  3. Make pre/post deployment steps conditional on developer sandboxes.

    Pre/Post deployment notes can be set to pertains to various static environments but they always apply to sandboxes after a back deploy. This should be conditional-- most of the time I only set them applicable to prod and they aren't applicable to developer sandboxes.

  4. Allow environment variables be applied to all environments except specified

    Allow environment variables to be applied to all environments and specify exceptions for which they should not be applied.

    For example, if an email address is stored in source control as prodsupport@example.com it should be transformed to sandboxsupport@example.com for all environments except prodcution.

  5. Audit changes to the "Require issue tracking" setting

    As a result of a query by our auditors it would be helpful to have changes to the 'Require issue tracking' deployment setting audited. They are concerned that a team-owner could alter this to perform a deployment then reinstate it, resulting in change deployment without tracking.

  6. Add "Open Branches" Tab to Development Sandbox Environments in Pipeline

    The only way to deploy an existing feature branch into a development sandbox is to perform a manual compare and deploy. Previously, we had our developer sandboxes set up as static environments which allowed us to create PRs against them for "re-deploy". This is not possible with the new Development Sandbox format. I suggest another tab be added called "Open Branches" which will allow the developers to select a feature to pull and work on in their development environment. That way we get the benefit of easy compare & deploy instead of having to manually compare and deploy. This will…

  7. Force API update for deployment

    Please provide the ability to force API versions for deployments.

    Allow the administrator to place an API version in a setting and when a deployment is validated or attempted deploy if the API version is the value or below then do not allow the validation or deployment.

  8. It would be great to have a centralized way to view all components and static code analysis results for every commit within a branch.

    It would be great to have a centralized view for all components and static code analysis results across every commit within a feature branch. For example, if a developer makes five commits to the same branch, it would be much more efficient to review the components and static code analysis results for the entire branch in one place, rather than checking each commit individually through the deployment history. Additionally, there should be an export option to easily share the results with developers. Thanks

  9. Visibility settings for 'Shared Sandboxes' in the gearset pipeline

    Currently, Gearset only supports the binary visibility settings for sandboxes; either the developer could see his/her sandbox or everyone's sandbox. But in the case of a 'Shared Sandbox,' there is no ability to give visibility access only to a specific subset of users in the pipeline.

  10. Allow developer sandbox updates to be queued instead of failing

    When you update developer sanboxes you can only do a max of 2 at a time or else the extras fail and do not automatically retry when the other are done. I would like if they would just enter into a que so that you could click update on all of them and not have to wait until the first 2 are done to then click the next two.

  12. Git Delta Deployment

    I think it would be great if Gearset pipeline feature changed to do a pure Git delta deployment instead of a Git/Org delta deployment. The reason for this is that then you only deploy your work (or what has changed) instead of deploying potentially any differences between the given branch and your org. Here's more information on this concept: https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/2021/01/optimizing-unpackaged-deployments-using-a-delta-generation-tool

  13. Mass resolve auto resolved conflicts

    Currently we have the auto resolve from previous environment feature which takes previous conflict resolution into account for a new conflict dectection run in a new environment. This is great but if I am deploying through a pipeline to multiple ORGs and the same conflicts that are auto resolved each time popup I need to keep clicking through them and marking as resolved.

    I would like there to be a Mass resolve button that only resolves all the auto resolved conflicts. That way I dont have to click through each one even though everything is resolved already.

  15. Automating/Scheduling DevSandboxUpdate aka Back promotions in gearset pipeline

    Automating/scheduling DevSandboxUpdate, aka back promotions in the gearset pipeline, sometimes it becomes challenging for developers to update their sandboxes whenever there are frequent releases to production in a short span of time.

    This is currently planned for later this quarter and next.


    Users will have the option to:

    • Bulk update selected dev sandboxes
    • Automate developer sandbox updates; they will be immediately tried as and when ready


    If users want to automate dev sandbox sychronization now, they can use CI jobs to deploy changes from their desired source of truth - this comes with some risk of affecting work in progress though.

  16. Add sharing to comparison view

    When you look at the comparison of the list view the "shareto" metadata is not available in the nice clean view. Its only available in the XML view.

  17. Create a functionality which can Export all the Open PRs for Pipeline

    Dear Gearset Team,

    We recently encountered a challenge where we had approximately 250 open PRs in production. To streamline the process, we needed to submit a report listing all open PRs, which were then reviewed by the Dev team. If a PR was deemed unnecessary, it needed to be declined. Additionally, some tickets were withdrawn, which required the associated PRs to be declined as well.

    Currently, this task requires us to manually open each PR, copy the PR link, add the story linked to the PR, and include the assignee of that story. We then input all this information manually…

  18. I would love to be able to edit the name of a feature while it is in progress in the pipeline.

    We include the release date as part of the feature title, but sometimes the release date changes after we create the feature and while the feature is still in the pipeline. It would be great if we could update the name of the feature at any point up until deployment to production.
