Add the package Name to the page, when the package is Opened
Currently when you Open a package like a draft deployment, the Name of the package does not appear. There is a message in top L-H 'Comparison finished' which is not very useful. Perhaps the package Name could go here. It will reduce confusion as you will be able to tell which package you have open. Thanks.

Allow users to select custom fields even if the object does not exist in the target
Would be great if GS allowed to select custom fields when doing a comparison even if the object does not exist in the target. If I am pushing changes to a repository I might want to only include the fields I created/modified and not the whole object.

Precision Deployments (available for Layouts) for all the meta data
Precision Deployments for Layout is a great improvement, it would be great to have the same feature for other meta data, particularely for : Fields picklists, global value sets, List Views, Reports, Profiles, Permission Sets and why not Lightning Pages, now that the Dynamic Form is available for Acc, Contacts & Opp

Deploy Managed Custom Filters Globally
When we associate a custom filter with a particular CI job, and then make changes to the filter, give the user the option to push those changes to all jobs (list them out) that use that named filter.

Allow download of XML files from the comparisons page
In some instances, we have to use the Metadata API to download XML files for analysis. However, the Metadata API is a pain to use. Even Salesforce recognizes this and suggests using a migration tool like Gearset to extract these: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.246.0.api_meta.meta/api_meta/file_based.htm
Since Gearset retrieves these files during comparison, it would be great if there was an option to download them to a zip file directly.
Note: There is already a "Download Package" feature on the deployment page. However, we obviously can't add items to this page if there is no change between the orgs. So, if a similar feature were…

Show Metadata API version used to retrieve metadata for comparison on comparison result page
It would save time and give confidence if the specific Metadata API version number used to retrieve the metadata was displayed on the comparison results page.

distinguish between components of feature branch and what is syncing to main
As a user of gearset deploying pull requests to multiple environments
I want to be able to identify actual components of the feature branch vs. what is included for syncing to main/main branch for the org being deployed to
So that there isn't the confusion of understanding what new/changes items are showing up in the commit information1 vote -
Cleanup Layout Assignments
When you rename a Layout, the previous Layout Assignment won't be cleaned up on the Profile.
This should be cleaned by the Repo dependency cleaner.9 votes -
Please add Namespace/Package name as a column in the comparison view
Currently , if I pull down metadata from managed packages (e.g. with the intention of committing the custom fields we've added to managed objects or committing the permissions we've updated) this means I get all the metadata in the comparison screen, with no way of filtering out the managed packages. An example of where this is a problem/cluttering the UI is Triggers/Classes - the contents of these is always hidden, so ideally i'd like to have a column to filter them out

Button for 'All the Differences' that gives all additions, deletions, and changes
I'd love to have a button for 'all the things' (new, changed, and deleted). Currently, every time I run a compare, I use the All button and then turn off 'No Difference' on type.

Integrate with Salesforce's Setup Audit Trail for Metadata Detection
Many metadata types are referenced in Salesforce's Setup Audit Trail. An alternate way to detect changes to include could be querying Setup Audit Trail with a Start / End Date instead of asking user to select the necessary components.

Remove Site.com from the Default Experience Cloud Comparison filter
The Default Experience Cloud Comparison filter include the Site.com component. This component seems to cause problems with Experience Bundle deployments. I recommend this should be removed from the Default filter.

Provide a list of Frequently Used Metadata Types for easy filtering
I often don't know which metadata types I need to include in a comparison so I don't miss anything so I often use Compare All (takes forever!). I'd like to have Gearset suggest filters based on past deployments so I can confidently compare without having to wait a long time.

Update the layout comparison view of Page layouts to reflect custom button/button changes on related lists. Currently XML view only
The layout view does not show custom buttons added to related list/other button changes. This is visible in XML view, the layout view is slightly confusing as a result - The "Select all" tick at the top is present, but no other tick boxes, making it unclear what you are selecting unless you use XML view

Date to date filter
A date to date filter so as to ignore anything outside of that time window. Even if it could just be all the changes for one year, that would help.

Save Filtered Metadata from a Comparison View as a New Custom Filter
When running a compare, we'll often filter the list of metadata types in the results to eliminate types we're not interested in comparing. It would be nice to save the filtered view as a new Metadata Filter for use in a future compare.

allow selecting of specific picklist values when deploying changes to picklist fields
Essentially would like to be able to cherry pick the values for a picklist value that is being deployed from a lower sandbox. Basically what you did with Precision Layout deployment for page layouts. There are times when we do not want to deploy all of the new/different values for a picklist field.

Make Custom Filters a Top-Level Menu Item
Filters are arguably the best part of gearset, especially with the support for RegEx. It is kind of a bummer that they are tucked away in a modal that can only be reached by clicking into a dropdown. Ideally you could just go to Hamburger > Metadata Deployments > Custom Filters and be routed to a dedicated page.

Allow for Scheduled Comparisons
Like Monitoring Jobs, allow users to choose a source, target, and metadata filter, and schedule when a comparison runs.
The primary goal of this would be time savings. To have that data already retrieved and cached so you can go in, make your selections, and move toward deployment more quickly. Possible applications include recurring deployments, planning out your workday, etc. This addition would be for non-Integration users.

Ability to Filter Out Namespaced Metadata
I figured the best way to write this out was in the form of some sub-par user stories.
As a Salesforce Admin, I need the ability to do a comparison of two orgs/repos and have it show only non-namespaced metadata so that I can easily distinguish between things I own and manage vs what are from managed packages.
As a salesforce Admin, I want to be able to indicate that I want to hide all namespaced metadata while still being able to show custom fields I create on a namespaced object so that I can quickly deploy new custom fields.
