  1. Add wildcard Test selection

    When selecting tests to be run for validation or CI validation jobs, we should be able to select "Test classes" and provide more generic search names such as "Test.cls" or "classes/". This would allow dynamic updates to the selected tests based on available test in the deployment package.

  2. Expand the options for "Run job" times on the continuous integration job setup.

    Currently the "Run job" option has times for 1, 2, 4 and 24 hours. With international teams working on projects, it would be nice to allow for something like every 8 hours. That could either be a new set option in the list, or allow for a "custom" option. If the pipelines can handle between 1 and 24 hours, let us selection "custom" and input the hours for the job interval to run.

  3. Remove limitation of number of PRs to be added to a Release (Azure DevOps + Gearset)

    Gearset automatically adds all PR details for a release in description box (Azure DevOps PR) which has max character limit of 4000 and only 16-18 PRs can be added to a release because of it. When we add one more PR after the limit is reached then the next PR does not get added to the Release and we need to create another release for them which is not correct approach as other releases may have some dependency on 1st and thing may fail in production. We need a way to disable adding description to Azure DevOps Release PR so…

  5. Share edit access to a CI job with another user

    Currently, only the owner of a CI job is able to edit it. This is a risk, as the owner is not always available to troubleshoot CI issues. It would be helpful to be able to delegate edit access to other team members so that pipelines can be managed collaboratively.

  6. Need to be made aware and/or given the opportunity to view the totality of the changes prior to deployment

    Heres what happened, we deployed the Metadata AND a ChatBot. As part of our deployment, we manually updated the metadatas to contain PROD relavent info (instead of ACC info that was pushed from ACC Branch)

    I also discovered that there were duplicate utterances in the Chatbot which we had to remove via manual DML deletes to ensure that the Data Model was built properly.

    Then, we wanted to deploy just a Field change, and did so by merging a PR containt just the Field Change into main in Azure. This, obviously, triggered a deployment and in that deployment, the metadata…

  7. Add option to "run tests if X is present" on CI jobs

    At the moment Gearset only offers an "all or nothing" option ("run all tests"), which is safer but completely ruins minor and cosmetic deployments (because it then takes half an hour to deploy even the smallest, inconsequent change like a Layout change) or "apex or nothing" option ("Default") which does allow for minor deployments to go through.. but also anything that's not Apex, which is dangerous because what if I'm deploying other automations like Flows? these changes would go un-tested.

    At the very least an option for "run all tests if Apex OR Flow is present" sounds mandatory. But ideally…

  8. Better Automated Pipeline MRs

    The MRs that get opened for pushing the same work through pipeline aren't very helpful. Would love to link back to the original MR which would have more of the "approvals". Right now we end up having to re-approve everything like its from scratch. Insight and auditability (maybe even bringing up who approved the original MR/etc would be great)

  9. Granular Permissions

    Most of our users don't need to be doing any configuration outside of connecting their Dev Sandbox. Prefer to have more granular permissions to lock down features to smaller groups of users.

  10. Indicate from Gearset if a deployment is eligible to use Quick Deploy

    I would like to be able to see from Gearset if a deployment is able to utilize Quick Deploy. This would be particularly useful for releases to production as we release after hours and our unit tests can take many hours to run. Knowing that Gearset will use Quick Deploy will increase our confidence with our release and reduce mental load knowing that the deployment will be much more likely to succeed.

  11. Run pull request validation against a different sandbox than the one linked to the target org

    Hi team,

    We have multiple developers creating PRs against a common development branch (let's call it simple, develop; developers are creating their feature branches from master, the Production configuration branch). Develop branch is linked to an integration environment (called INT). INT environment contains multiple stories which are not yet in Production (some of them might go in Production, some will not go).

    I would like to get my PRs validated in a Production-copy environment (called BUILDCHK) just to get a real feedback on how "deployable" are my changes in Production, for whenever their time will come.

    It would be great…

  12. Ability to rerun deployments

    We had a deployment in a pipeline that included a change in a managed package. the MR to the environment branch has the permission set change (access to a managed package field), but the Pipeline did not deploy it. It would be great if there was a way to "re-run" an already promoted branch, as we can't use a MR at this point to trigger, since the repository already has the change.

  13. Feature vs Release, Branch De-sync

    When Gearset detects that additional changes have been made to a feature branch AFTER the feature branch was already added to a Release, strange behavior may be experienced.

    Coming from a git background, I expected anything on the release branch would be ready to go on my deployment, but that is not what happened during my release window.

    Admittedly there were some features that had changes pushed to the feature branch after perhaps the feature branch should have been closed, namely after it was on the Release branch. However there's also an argument that we should trust whats on the…

  14. Provide deployment history by Salesforce ID or My Domain

    If we could have a way to quickly export all changes to specific environments regardless of user who created the connection, would be ideal.

    Use case: Provide a Production OrgID and be able to export all changes across all connections and manual compare-and-deploy and pipeline deployments.

  15. Sandbox Deployment With 0 Components

    Running a deployment into a Sandbox or Prod that has 0 components is a waste of time and resources.

    If a deployment has 0 components in it, either
    1. There's a problem because I was expecting greater than zero (so throw an error), or...
    2. I want to run tests, and theres a different command for that (I shouldn't be executing a deployment just to run tests).

  16. Add the checks on the PR for the deployment

    Currently, gearset doesn't provide the checks on the PR for the deployment CI job. It would be nice to have the checks of the deployment status along with a link to the comparison on the PR, similar to how we can link out to the validation job

  17. retain validation history for CI jobs

    When a pull request is created against a branch that triggers a CI job, a validation is run. Sometimes, this validation hits errors and adjustments need to be made to the metadata filter and/or problem analyzer template until the validation succeeds. However, once the PR is promoted and the CI job successfully fires, the validation history for that PR is no longer accessible. It would be useful to be able to retain that validation history, as it would help to do further investigation into the validation errors that were hit after the fact.

    There is not always time during a…

  18. Local Metadata ignored if name collides across an unlocked package namespace

    Current Behavior:
    During PR validation of an lwc component named "utils", Gearset reports no changes and runs validation against target org with 0 components because there is a Namespaced Unlocked Package in the target that also has an lwc component named "utils". This can be seen in the "Problem Analysis Results" within the Validation Details for the PR.

    Expected Behavior:
    Gearset should not diff my local components against components that are behind a namespace. Even when those namespaced components are in an unlocked package. Perhaps Gearset should treat namespaced unlocked package components more like managed package components.

    This is related…

  19. "Sync environment" automation

    On the pipeline, the action of "Sync environment" is currently a manual action. It could be useful to have an automation of this action (like the back-propagation) after each Production Deployment. This step is a little bit time consuming and can be easily missed. If we had an automatic creation of this synchronization PR on each CI Job it would make the processus more fluid.

  20. Sort or Filter Active CI Jobs

    Currently, there is no great way to filter out old/inactive CI jobs from the Active CI jobs. This poses a problem as there are situations where we have replaced CI jobs in the past, or created/disabled test jobs. Currently they clutter up the Continuous Integration Dashboard, but it would be nice if we could hide them so we don't have to delete them and lose their history.
