  1. sidebar

    Love the comparison v2 but can there be an option to collapse the side bar with all the metadata types? When doing diffs sometimes I wish I could have the full width of the screen.

  2. Auto-scroll simplified comparison views to the first difference

    When you view a comparison using the XML view, Gearset automatically scrolls you to the first change in the XML file.

    However, when you use the simplified view, which is now the default comparison experience, it does not automatically scroll, and you either have to use the Next icon (an extra click every time) or do a lot of scrolling.

    I would like to request that the simplified comparison views also scroll to the first difference.

  3. Add omni components to filters through metadata API

    Now that Salesforce has moved omnistudio into standard runtime (as opposed to managed package) and also added the omnistudio components to the metadata API, the following components:
    omniDataTransform
    omniIntegrationProcedure
    omniScript
    omniUiCard

    Since these components are in xml format, it is much easier to see differences in source control.
    It also removes the need to perform separate deployments for the Salesforce metadata API and the vlocity build tool.

  4. Add to Flow Navigator the flow version description

    It would be very handy if the new Flow Navigator view was able to display flow version description. We update this frequently to describe new changes, so being able to read this documentation in the Flow Navigator would be helpful to understanding the flow.
    Adding this either as a banner along the top (like some flow xml views) or as an element in the navigator sidebar would be acceptable.

  5. Refresh Comparison enhancements

    When doing a "Refresh Comparison", allow only refreshing the source. Or to only refresh the selected items from the source and/or target.
    Example, deploying from a git branch to a sandbox, refreshing the metadata takes a few seconds from git, several minutes from the sandbox (target).

  6. Multiple metadata comparison filter selection

    Having multiple comparison filters to target specific metadata is handy but sometimes you need some additional components for a deployment (e.g Flow & Custom Fields).

    The ability to select more than one metadata comparison filter would be a great help and would save on the number of custom filters created and shared.

  7. Allow page layout field additions and removals to be selectable

    As a user, when selecting page layout changes to include in my deployment, I would like to include only the fields I have added that are different from my destination environment.

    Dev environments can be worked on by different people. There are times when a solution requires adding an existing field to a page layout to solve your user story.
    At the same time, another user story may also be making changes to that page layout using different fields (removing or adding).

  8. Add an option to ignore package version differences in Apex classes

    I see many differences between apex classes where the only difference is the package version(s), no difference in the code itself. It would be nice to have an option to filter these out so that only the apex classes are shown where the code is different.

  9. re-add "re-authorize" link on compare view

    After refreshing a sandbox, you have to re-authorize the sandbox-org. A while ago, there was a link to do so. Now we have to navigate to the list of orgs to re-authorize there.

    Please give us back the re-authorize shortcut :)

    We have now added a 'Re-authorize' button to the access token expiry warning message that will typically appear when selecting Salesforce orgs with an expired token on the initial 'Compare and deploy' page.

  10. Option to sort Custom Application XML

    While this can be done with VSC custom plugins for SFDX, I think it would be really beneficial if Gearset offered the ability to sort Custom App XML in comparisons in order to see what's actually changing between a source and target for lightning page activations. Due to the way SFDC generates this XML, the way page activations are ordered is very difficult to follow, and I think it's an opportunity to make that easier especially for declarative config users of Salesforce.

  11. Add an option to ignore location changes for Flow

    Hi, when reviewing changes for flows that are being deployed, it would be great to have a toggle option to hide or alternately color location changes which are just the location of elements on the flow canvas editor.
    <locationX>1353</locationX>
    <locationY>1305</locationY>

    Sometimes there are hundreds of location changes and it obscures the important information about what else changed.

    The "simply differences" toggle in the comparison grid now hides location changes in flows to make it easier to identify important changes. The location changes are still included when deploying changes to the flow.

  12. Identify that metadata is the same, even if ordered differently by metadata API

    There are a lot of instances where the comparison will identify metadata as different, but the only difference is the way the API is ordering the XML. I've seen it happen a lot with picklist values on multi-select picklist fields. It would be nice to be able to turn this on/off somehow so that metadata that isn't truly different won't show up in the difference compare.

  13. Refresh specific item in comparison through context menu

    It would be great to refresh a specific item within a comparison that I know has changed since the last comparison.

    Gearset now supports:

    - Refreshing a single item - available either from the context menu (by right-clicking an item in the comparison results table) or by using the "Refresh item" button in the XML preview window

    - Refreshing selected items - available from the context menu once one or more items are selected


    Thank you for commenting on and upvoting this request. We hope this new Gearset feature is going to speed up your workflow!

  15. Change default sort order of Saved Comparison Pairs to use 'Friendly Name' (or last used sort column)

    The new Saved Comparison Pairs feature is great! However, the page appears to load connections in a seemingly 'random' order on each use.

    Confirmed with Gearset Support the default sort order is by create date of each connection pair. However, if feature is used with multiple connection pairs spanning multiple individual instances this requires manual re-sorting of connections every time page is loaded if you want to view pairs logically by naming convention (e.g. Alpha 1->2, Alpha 2->3, Bravo 1-> 2 , Bravo 2 -> 3 etc.) or something other than system create date.

  16. Add a way to "Save" or "Save As" updated filters when in the Refresh Comparison window (like you can in the Compare and Deploy window)

    When in the Refresh Comparison window, it seems there's no way to "Save" or "Save As" the updated filters. Looks like you can only access that feature via Manage Custom Filters from the Compare and Deploy screen

    Any chance we could get that added? It would be super useful!

  17. Exclude LWC Jest files from validation and deployment

    We introduced LWC - Jest tests for our project, which seems to cause validation errors with Gearset.

    As per Salesforce recommendations it is recommended to keep jest tests only locally and in VCS and avoid trying to push them to SF as they would cause validation errors.

    Is there an forward path that allows us to tell Gearset to exclude LWC - Jest files from validation/deployment?

  18. Add "Show selected" button to the Custom Filter editor

    This button needs to be in the type and items columns. This way the developer will see the already selected components and be able to check faster if everything required is selected

    WorkSkillRouting is a key object in the configuration of Skills-based Routing for omni-channel (using Attribute Setup, not apex class), please add support for this object to enable comparison and deployment.

  20. Include support for new metadata type 'PermissionSetGroup' (Winter '20)

    You can now deploy permission set groups in Gearset!

    PermissionSetGroup isn’t included in the default metadata filter, so you’ll need to include it in any comparison filters you’re using.

    Please get in touch if you spot any problems.

    Thanks,
    Tom
