  1. Yearly report of all previously migrated items.

    It would be great to get an end of year report or report of how many migrations were completed and a high-level list of components.

    Example:
    Custom metadata, lightning components, page layouts, fields, apex, etc.

  2. Show Read Only Source control Settings to Members

    Would be good to see the current settings of Source control for Members in read only mode.
    Currently what greats us is just a text message:
    "Only team owners can change these settings."

  3. 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.

  6. Include the local file name on all the results screens

    When you choose a local file to use as compare, on every subsequent screen the only title you see is: "On-disk repository". It would be helpful to include the name of the file.

  8. Provide ordering for metadata elements when committing to version control

    When metadata is retrieved from Salesforce the order of child nodes is not guaranteed and results in false-positive changes when committing to version control. Usually this will be something simple like workflow actions/criteria appearing out-of-order which can be compared manually. However, recently we've noticed entire profiles being committed with every permissions element out-of-order, resulting in a change set with ~20k lines where the actual change is impossible to visualize.

    Gearset should provide a feature to 'order' child XML elements alphabetically by name in order to provide consistent commits to version control and eliminate false-positives.

  10. Create Scratch Org dialog should echo DevHub name

    When you Create a Scratch Org, the dialog that appears doesn't echo the DevHub name used to associate the scratch org. Since one's Gearset user account could be authorized to multiple DevHubs, one loses the thread (breadcrumb) to which DevHub is being used for the new scratch org

  11. Add NotificationTypeConfig metadata type

    There is a new metadata type in API 48.0 NotificationTypeConfig. It would be great if you can add it.

  13. 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.

  14. inform users they're logged in somewhere else when failing concurrent logins

    When a user might attempt to log into their account from a second computer (or VM), its appropriate to fail their login on the second computer. Right now, there is no indication that this has occurred because they're already logged in elsewhere. The error talks about adding Gearset IPs to Salesforce, but the issue is being logged in already.

    I suggest telling us we're already logged in. It's easy to forget!

    Thanks!

  15. Include support to name space filter to include option to include unlocked packages with no namespace

    Currently there is no way to retrieve and compare components belong in an unlocked package with no name space without using the 'include managed package' namespace filter 'all' option.

    this might include too many items that I am not interested in.

  16. Metadata filter - ability to select Report/Dashboard folders by parent folder name

    When setting up a metadata filter for a new comparison, when it comes to Reports and Dashboards, it would save sooooo much time if they could be selected according to the top-level/parent folder that they reside in. That would enable the ability select all reports within a single parent folder at once, rather than having to select reports separately which reside in a nested/child folder.

  17. Link to salesforce source records

    When reviewing a Comparison with Salesforce as a source or target, include a link to the Setup/Configuration page that is being compared. For example, a link to a Page Layout that the user could click to jump right to the Layout in the appropriate Salesforce environment. There are times when we review Comparisions and need to see the source outside of Gearset and this gets the user there much faster.

    The link would appear in the header of the Comparison window, near where "SOURCE" and "TARGET" are listed.

  18. Excluding Record Type Problem Analyzer Should Behave the Same Across Metadata (Layout Permissions, Custom Object Permissions)

    In the situation where a repository is the source and an org is the target, there may be a situation where a record type doesn't exist in the repository but references in the layout permissions and custom object permissions do still exist.

    Currently, the problem analyzer will catch the custom object permissions and ask you to remove the references to the record type that doesn't exist in the target.

    However, it doesn't catch the layout permissions and the deployment could fail with an invalid reference.

    In the absence of the record type in the repository, the "Problem Analyzer for excluding…

  19. Allow Scheduling of Comparison and Export Results via Email

    Our use case is to schedule the comparison of two sources (Salesforce orgs) which are both "dev" environments, on a daily basis, yet receive the comparison results as an email attachment. The format of the export file within the comparison itself is what we'd need. This would save time & clicks by not having to log into the app and dig into the comparison job to manually extract the csv file.

  20. Account owner should be able to delete templates created by others

    If a team member is removed from Gearset team, any template or previous activity can not be removed by anyone else. Leaving some clutter behind. It would be good to have the Owner of the Gearset account/team to have a super admin level access to all templates/data created by other team members so clean up could be managed....
