Reuse Deployment Package (clone) should use sticky "Source Repository"
Use case:
1. Compare and deploy from repo-R/master to org A
2. Clone deployment from repo-R/master to org BUnfortunately, when the clone deployment displays the dialog "Reuse Deployment Package"...
a) When you select GitHub, the dialog doesn't default the repository to Repo-R but instead displays a picklist of all possible repos the running user has access to (in our case that is 100+)
b) Better would be to remember in cookie the repo the developer last used and default to that choice so scrolling through 100 items is not necessary.2 votes -
Be able to switch the direction of a comparison/deployment
Sometimes we need to reconcile changes on an object between two orgs, where some of the changes have been made in Org1 and some in Org2. Having set up metadata filters, compared and deployed required changes from Org1 to Org2, it would be nice to be able click a button to switch direction to then deploy required changes from Org2 back to Org1, without having to go through the whole process of setting up a new comparison.

CI job status "deploying" - add dateTime
UX suggestion:
On the CI jobs page...Currently - you see last run dateTime followed by "deploying...." if a job is currently in progress
Suggestion: Add the dateTime when job started so user can gauge when job should finish and set expectations accordingly
For example, in our shop, a CI job should take around 20 minutes - but if you can;t tell when it started, you can't gauge when it will finish and plan your work accordingly

Allow "Rollback" if you have a user within the same org
Rollback currently requires the user who did the deployment to enable "Deployment" user access. Instead, it would be helpful if I could use my own user, within the same org, to do the rollback.
This would be helpful if the individual who did the first deployment is unavailable.

Option to validate / deploy only running test classes in deployment set
When deploying, there's a pain point when we want to specify tests to run. It would be nice to have an option to only run test classes that are included in the deployment. Automatically identifying which test classes are in the deployment package should be fairly straight forward:

Allow deployment of PROFILE only
The main reason we considered Gearset was issues with deploying profiles. Half the object settings, if not more, don't come over with change sets. When attempting to use Gearset to ONLY deploy a profile, we had the same issue. So, what's the point of using GS then? When I talked with one of your technical resources he did mention that was not a common use case. I would think it would be for large organizations like ours (over 3500 employees). We may want to spin up a new profile and just deploy that with no app or any other features…

Deploying Profiles - Create, Update, Delete
I have noticed that in some scenarios, user profiles cannot be created, deleted or updated. In addition, some pieces such as user license cannot be updated due to the Salesforce architecture. To create a new profile with a specific license, we would have to clone an existing profile that has the correct license and then update the permissions accordingly. When deleting a profile, first we need to ensure that the profile is not associated with a user (it doesn't matter whether the user is active or inactive) and then the profile can be deleted. When updating a profile, based on…

Allow deployment of Sharing Rules by Rule not by Object
In change sets we can pick individual sharing rules to push (specific ones on an object). However through gearset we can only push the whole object.

Cancel deployment in progress
In Salesforce, you can cancel a deployment in progress: Maybe because a test has failed already and you don't want to bother running the rest, or because you forgot some things.
Can we have a cancel button while a deployment is in progress in Gearset? The metadata api seems to support it:

Provide a way to deploy push topics
We have a push topic that we use but there is currently no easy way to deploy changes between orgs. Would it be possible to do this via Gearset?

Provide a way to init a sandbox
It would be nice if there was a quick way of init'ing a new sandbox that matches either what was in source control or an existing sandbox.
Currently, I need to run a comparison between the existing source and the new sandbox and then I can try the deploy, but it would be nice if the compare step was not needed and I could simply say 'overwrite what is in the sandbox with what is in the specified source'

Specified Test Level Suggestion
Hello,
It would be very nice to be able to have a test classes suggestion when doing a deployment with "specified test level". The suggestion will ensure the package elements will be covered at least by 75% and so speed up the deployment.

Extend the ability to add and delete in a single deployment to all metadata types
We just came across an issue in which we were deploying an HTML email template that had been moved from one folder to another in the source environment.
When deploying, only the delete happened on the first deploy. I needed to do a second deploy to handle the addition.
While probably not a common case, it's certainly important as the initial deployment reports that the addition was successful.

Filter Notifications for Non-CI Deployments By Successful or Not
When I do a deployment that is not a CI deployment, it can send an email. But the email goes out regardless if the deployment is successful. I would like to be able to send the email ONLY if the deployment is successful.

Avoid going to Setup | Deployment status on "validate deployment don't run any tests"
If you are deploying to PROD and
a) You have Apex classes in your deployment
b) You choose Validate Deployment - Don't run any testsThe Validation will fail and Gearset will tell you to check the target org Setup | Deployment Status where as suggested, the most likely cause is test coverage failures.
This is in fact true but it seems that Gearset could warn you before acting on a PROD deployment with non-test apex classes and 'don't run any tests' that this will be guaranteed to occur and give you a chance to reconsider your choice before wasting…

download the zip package at an earlier stage before analysis has taken place
Download the zip package at an earlier stage before the analysis has taken place.
In big Orgs with multiple teams working the analysis page takes sometimes to load so it would be a great addition if we can download the zip package file and modify it.1 vote -
Access to Critical Updates
We use Gearset as our primary utility for managing various client orgs include Production and Sandboxes for Testing and Release Management. It would be great if there was also a way to access, review and potentially enable/disable any Critical Updates in any org from Gearset.
However, I do understand that Critical Updates may not currently be accessible from the metadata API.
Just a thought,

Show status in Chrome tab title
In Chrome, it is possible to display info even when viewing a different tab.
For example, I see this done with financial sites when they want to show the value of a stock ticker symbol.
