  1. Jira comment only for production releases

    We would like to have the option to choose which deployments create Jira comments. As business users often watch our Jira tickets, we would prefer only posting comments when we actually "release" (deploy to our production org) and skip comments for releases on sandbox environments.

  2. Add ability to run sfdx force source status command for metadata deployment

    It would be great if, when comparing an org to a repository, we could run the status command (sfdx force:source:status) to see the difference between a Salesforce org and the repository.

    This command provides a list of files that changed to the user instead of performing a full (and tedious) comparison between the source and the target.

    Having a list of changed files would make it easier for a user to see what change they made in an org, make it easier for them to not miss a file and would make comparison so much faster (since you would be…

  3. Let the user post Jira comments as internal or customer-facing from deploys

    When deploying from sandbox to sandbox, we'd like the comments to post on the tagged jira issues, but would like to keep those comments internal instead of updating our clients. It would be good to have a security selection option when posting comments from gearset to jira.

  4. Have the Jira ticket which was selected at the point of the commit stay with the PR in Pipelines

    At the moment when you select a Jira ticket at the point of commiting to a branch, you are able to track that actionback into Jira.

    However when a PR is opened from that feature branch to the next environment branch (in the Pipelines UI specifically) the Jira ticket association is lost, and has to be reattached manually.

    Workaround:

    1. Put the ticket ID in the branch name, i.e. name your branch "feature/AL-99- new-flow"
    2. Use the drop down menu provided in the Pipelines UI to re select the Jira ticket
    3. Open the PR from the Commit successful screen and tick the…

  5. Notify GitHub that checks are running sooner

    When a PR in GitHub is being validated, Gearset doesn't let GitHub know that the check is happening until after it has run the comparison between GitHub and the target org. Then the check is pending while the validation runs in Salesforce.

    This means that there is a delay between when you create a PR and Gearset's check appearing as pending in the PR. At that moment, it looks like there are no more checks to run in GitHub so you can go ahead and merge. But, you really should wait until Gearset has compared and validated the changes.

    It…

  6. Associated Work Items through Commit message

    As a Developer, I want to use a unique ID from the work item I am working on
    when I make a GearSet commit
    So the work item I am working with (like Jira) can have a comment stating it was deployed
    and I don't have to manually go to a separate process to update the ticket.

    Say my work items are in jira and I am working user story 100.
    There is a Jira ID that is unique to that work item.

    When I specify a commit
    instead of going through the separate process to find the work item…

  7. Allow squash merge for Github PR

    We have our GitHub PR settings set to only allow Squash and Merge for PRs because we want a clean history on the long-lived branches. It seems Gearset doesn't support this, when I attempt to promote it issues an error. This should be configurable or should detect this automatically from the settings.

  9. Disable Jira notifications for individual CI Jobs

    We like that the Jira integration posts changes to the associated Jira ticket during a deployment, but we only want notifications for specific CI Jobs. For example we want our staging and prod deployments to post a notification in our Jira ticket, but not for other jobs such as back-deployments. Each post potentially emails Jira users and we want to limit these notifications. Currently the only work around is to remove the Jira ticket association from the PR in Gearset before promoting it, and this gets tedious if you have a lot of development orgs.

  10. Include Apex classes regardless of folder

    In GitHub, Apex classes don't always have to be in a folder called "classes " to work with them. Some people using SFDX put test classes in their own folder (sometimes called "tests". Even Apex classes within the "classes" folder can be sub-grouped into folders. (Example at https://github.com/trailheadapps/apex-recipes/tree/main/force-app/main/default/classes)
    I'd like Gearset to scan the entire repository and to group metadata by its actual type, not by the folder it is in.
    I'm not talking about the sfdx-project.json saying where the metadata is located. This is within each of those locations, it should find all Apex (for example). The Apex…

  11. Delete GitHub webhook when the CI job is deleted

    When we create a CI job where the source is GitHub, Gearset can automatically create a webhook for us in GitHub.

    Would it be possible to delete that webhook in GitHub when we delete the CI job from Gearset? I've got some GitHub repos with failing webhooks due to CI jobs I once created. Obviously, I can tidy up manually from GitHub, but it would be nice to have the option of Gearset doing it for me. The URL seems to be unique to the CI job, so I can't see it having any negative consequences.

  12. Allow for Object Deployments without subcomponents to git

    When deploying an object to git currently there is no support to ONLY deploy the object metadata.
    We have a large managed package that your code requires the .object file for an object in that managed package to exist for me to deploy fields or other customizations for said object git -> org. When I deploy org -> git to get the .object file into my repo it also grabs all the fields on the managed package object which I don't want/need.
    I don't want the fields and I need to specifically get it from the target org because if…

  13. xml formatting support for Illuminated Cloud

    I would like to see support in the 'XML quote escaping style' for Illuminted Cloud (and potentially other IDE Vendors)
    I am struggling currently as my Admins use gearset for source control commits and my developers use Webstorm and Illuminated Cloud which causes conflicts (generally with the utf/UTF issues but some others as well around validation rules and some formula fields).
    Ideally, If a team standardizes around one IDE then all they have to do is come in to that setting and set it to what the IDE does as a default and then you wouldn't get any conflicts with…

  14. Allow more than one instance of Jira to be connected to.

    It would be great to have the capability to connect to more than one instance of Jira. We are switching to a different instance and we have to delete and recreated the Jira connections each time we switch instances.

  15. enable UTAM

    In the same way you enable Jest tests to run during deployment like that:
    https://docs.gearset.com/en/articles/5204895-pilot-feature-source-control-setup-for-lwc-test-runs
    We would need to run UTAM tests:
    https://utam.dev/guide/introduction

    Those are stored in utam folder and as sucha re not deployed to Salesforce org but rather "ran" by the test system.
    UTAM is very similar to Jest but do a simulated browser test (including integrated services and login of users) that covers full scenario and several pages. It's possible by using Chromedriver through WebdriverIO. All these are nodejs libraries used by UTAM.

  18. Enforce each deployment to have a Jira issue in a specific status in order to be able to deploy.

    As a gate-keep; to be able to deploy anything to production (or any other named environment), the associated Jira ticket must be in a pre-select status.

    For example, the Jira ticket's status must be in "Ready for Deployment" to allow an end-user to deploy.

  20. Exclude OmniStudio generated LWCs for CI

    Currently OmniStudio will generate LWCs for it's flexicards and OmniScripts.

    We want to have CI syncing in to a repository, however we don't want to have these autogenerated LWCs in the repository. This is code that users won't be modifying themselves, isn't constructed to be read by a human, and will actually be controlled by the Vlocity elements that GearSet already supports.

    Reviewing the metadata produced by omnistudio, it seems that all the LWCs produced have the runtimeNamespace tag in their meta.xml file set to 'omnistudio'. It would be ideal if we could filter out all LWCs with that tag/value…
