Exclude the subcomponents of the parent Workflow metadata and also exclude list views from custom objects
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

Cloning deployments: add namespace option
If you are using Gearset to develop for a 1GP managed package:
Your deploys between VCS and dev orgs/scratch orgs DON'T use namespace in the metadata filter
Your deploy from VCS to Packaging org MUST USE namespace in the metadata filter - otherwise, everything in the difference viewer appears as NEW rather than CHANGED (if truly just edited during dev cycle)
So, when cloning a deployment, one should have the option to add the namespace to the clone dialog.
Without this, one has to repeat the Compare step thus losing the benefit of what you had enumerated in a prior…

Use triggering branch as source branch in git-sourced CI jobs
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.

Allow setting the default testing method for deployments
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

Add an option to not run the comparision part in CI job (sfdx like)
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.

Ability to carry out action after successful deployment or detect org changes (monitoring)
After every release, we have to do smoke testing. We do have automated testing using selenium and we wanted to trigger the automated testing every after release is detected. It would be nice if in the deployment we can call an api or webservice after successful deployment. Or in the monitoring we can call an api when there's a change happened in the org.

When validation fails, allow option to automatically remove metadata from deployment that was causing failure
It's not convenient when a validation fails, to then download the excel file of the the validation errors, view in separately form Gearset, and then go through the list of metadata I'm trying to deploy and try to uncheck each one that failed the validation. It would be nice if Gearset did that for me.

Move Package Contents to Left Column on Deployment Screen
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.

Ability to upload Deployment Checklist instead of manually adding All components
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.

View Grouped Successful, Validated, and Monitor Jobs per Instance in List
Our organization has now done over 13,000 deployments (yay!), but that means when I have to search for past deployments, any searching beyond 10 days as the filter becomes an impossible task because of the sheer volume that has to be searched (boo).
When trying to combine successfully deployed packages into a new package, if I have to change the date range to find a deployment done several months ago, I lose the selected deployments from a more recent timeframe and can't select them all to combine neatly.
If we could see successful deployments by viewing the authorized Org in…

Find/Replace before deployment
Allow a basic find/replace to run against files before final deployment.
Examples: a username that would work in the sandbox that does not exist in production and we need to change it. Or deploying to a packaging org required a modification due to various namespace issues. Other tools have a means to do this in one way or another.3 votes -
facilitate selection at the UI of related permissions for selected items during deployment
Our typical use case surrounding related permissions for selected components (application visibilities, class accesses, field permissions, layout assignments, object permissions, page accesses, record type visibilities, tab visibilities) is to need to ensure that if a component is selected, its related permission is always selected also, with respect to a target set of profiles. We suggest you provide an affordance at the UI that selects related permissions en masse rather than requiring individual mouse clicks for each permission selection as at present.

Allow CI deployment notifications to the specific user who made the source control commit that prompted the deployment
We have CI jobs that fire on commits to a source control repository. At the moment, there is no way to email the specific individual who made the commit that prompted the deployment, so we have to notify everyone involved in the project whenever a deployment fails. If we could just notify the individual who made the commit (plus the deployment manager), it would reduce noise considerably.
Please add this feature.

Allow us to personalize the report generated at the end of the deployment
I want to send the automatic report generated at the end of the deployment to my client. However, I want to personalize it with the logo of my company or add additional text.
