Currently, a CI job that deploys from a Salesforce Org to another org or source control can only be scheduled to run at 4 hours intervals. Additionally, there is no mechanism of specifying when these jobs will run - instead, the job is scheduled randomly within the first 4 hours it was created and every 4 hours after that point.

Providing a smaller interval (ex. every 1hr) and/or more granular control over the job execution time seems like a common sense enhancement.

As of now we are able to send only static text as a part of outgoing payload in CI Integration jobs. We want this data to be dynamic for each deployment.
For example: We need to send the information like (JIRA User Story number, GIT commit hashes and descriptions from the pull requests being merged, etc.)
This will allow us to publish information of successful deployments to external system.

Allow gearset CI to do a quick deploy either by default or via a setting on the Job definition.
Our tests run for nearly 90 minutes and are currently run twice in succession causing a lot of frustration. Once when a PR is validated and then when it is merged and deployed.

When creating a new scratch org from either the Gearset UX or via a CI job, one often gets the Unknown Error message

Gearset should attempt to retry this error as often, a simple retry works. This is especially important for CI jobs which should not have to be attended to manually.

Of course, the better solution is to not get this error at all

I want to exclude outbound messages from workflows as we will have different urls in different sandboxes. Same with list views we want to exclude them from custom objects so that we can use CI using gearset for deployments

would be nice to have possibility to configure 1 source (git branch), but multiple targets (sandbox), so gearset would have some "load balancer", which would distribute the validations into sandboxes, which are not busy. Its taking too much time from developers to wait for their validations to finish.

I'd need an option to auto-deploy FLS for items i've selected in one click.
Sometimes the amount of changes is huge, and finding and clicking Permissions for selected items one by one is not a deal. For sure, it's possible to select all Permissions in Source org, and let the wizard to deselect Permissions for missing items in target, however that the result does not usually correspond to items that are in package.

At the moment, you need to wait until the comparison is finished and the deployment has been started and then you should go to the org to cancel running deployment. It would be useful to have an option to abort the CI job.

create an option to have chained deployments so complex deployments can be broken down and sequentially deployed or slaves can be ran

allowing for multi staged deployments under one CI job

Currently:
We have to define a single fixed source branch in a CI job, when it has a Git-Source.

Desired:
Option to say "use triggering branch". It should use the branch, where current commit-hook-call comes from.

It should allow Pipelines to test also all development branches e.g. with "Validation only" CI-job.

When you are pushing a project with sfdx, there is no compare, sfdx just push the whole package.

It will save a lot of times.

Save draft deployment notes so when you combine drafts you can see all the notes from each single draft

On the "Summary of Items to deploy" page, the items in the deployment show in the 3rd column. So when you go to choose tests, you can't see what's in your package. Makes it very easy to miss a test.

I want to enforce that any deployment into a UAT sandbox runs all the tests. The standard Default option runs no tests since it's a sandbox. I have to manually choose the "Run Only my Tests" Option every time I deploy to that sandbox. I would like to be able to have that option selected by default

When I commit components to bitbucket brach if I have 5 new components and 5 deleted components. then Gearset is updating package.xml in the src folder with only 5 components which are to be created but destructive changes are tracked no where. Then if we deploy from this branch changes to Sandbox using CI job which has 'Filter metadata changes using package.xml' checked, then the deleted components will not be deployed. It is good if Gearset give a feature to track destructive changes and deploy using CI job.

Ability to only deploy the difference between the last 2 commits (incremental build) will dramatically reduce the time to run a CI job

As of now, if you have deletions enabled in a CI job, everything is deleted. It would be great to be able to specify which metadata types you want to include in the deletions since normally you won't need to delete all differences. This would be specially helpful to remove Apex classes and its permissions from profiles.

For every release, we have at least 700-1500 or more components to be deployed and adding all those one by one into gearset is a lot of manual effort which might sometimes not be entirely accurate. It would be great if there is an option where we can upload an excel or csv with all the component names and gearset would just create the package for you. It would save a lot of time and effort and reduce manual errors.
