  1. Date to date filter

    A date to date filter so as to ignore anything outside of that time window. Even if it could just be all the changes for one year, that would help.

  2. Allow different source control users per CI job

    At the moment, my GitHub user is defined at an account level. So that user is the one for all CI jobs.

    I may want to have a different GitHub user for each of the projects that I run through Gearset. For example, if we are a consultancy that generally use our own stack, but have to use a GitHub user belonging to a customer on some occasions.

    Or (as I do now) I may want to switch my GitHub user from one to another. Today, switching that user will disable ALL OF THE CI JOBS. And I will have…

  3. Add configurable email reminders for scratch org expiration.

    From Salesforce orgs and Dev Hubs, it would be great if there were a setting that would automatically send an email when a scratch org is approaching expiration. This could be configurable per Dev Hub, and would help prevent data loss at scratch org expiration.

  4. Ability to export the unit test coverage in the json format and push it to the repository automatically

    The sfdx CLI has the ability to generate a report of the unit test coverage in JSON format with the default naming convention test-result-codecoverage.

    I would like to be able to retrieve this JSON file and push it automatically to the repository on every unit test execution.

    As an example please find a possible sfdx command to achieve it: - sfdx force:apex:test:report --testrunid 7075J00001NZBNIQA5 -c -r json -d folderDirectory #testRunID is the value from the ApexTestResult obj AsyncApexJobId field
    Please find more information on the official salesforce documentation about it https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_testing.htm

  5. Save Filtered Metadata from a Comparison View as a New Custom Filter

    When running a compare, we'll often filter the list of metadata types in the results to eliminate types we're not interested in comparing. It would be nice to save the filtered view as a new Metadata Filter for use in a future compare.

  6. package missing -meta.xml endings

    When I download a package from a CI Job, it doesn't include the require "-meta.xml" ending for my metadata types. I wrote the following script to add them back one folder at a time. It would make more sense if Gearset just gave me the correct filenames when I download the package though.

    # Gearset gives us a downloadable package to trouble shoot, 
    # but it doesn't have the -meta.xml text appended to it.
    # Find all files with this ending and append -meta.xml to it.
    find ./  -type f -name '*.flow' | xargs -I '{}' mv '{}' '{}'-meta.xml
    
    find

  7. 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).

  8. Set Problem Analyzer to default with all rules disabled

    Problem Analyzer rules are automatically enforced for CI Deployments which are misleading to end user as the default has ALL rules set to enabled. My recommendations is to have the default template have ALL rules set to disabled OR have clear communication in the CI Deployment feature to notify users that Problem Analyzer rules are enabled and may cause expected deployment behaviour/errors.

  9. Add the option to schedule weekly, monthly and yearly backups

    To meet our backup compliance requirements I'd like to suggest an option to schedule weekly, monthly, and yearly backups to go along with the daily backup option that is currently available. This way, we could setup multiple backup tasks with different retention.

    Thanks

  10. 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.

  12. Write Deployment Results back to the user's Salesforce org

    When setting up a deployment, it would be helpful to capture Deployment Results in a custom object in the running user's Salesforce org. Users would be able to specify a unique reference at the point of deployment, which would track through to the Salesforce org.

    Information about the deployment would be captured in a Master record, with data about individual components existing in Detail records.

    Org admins would then be free to leverage automation features to map the created records as they see fit.

    As a consultancy that tracks our customer requirements in Salesforce, our use case would be that…

  13. 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…

  14. 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

  15. Ability to delete app visibility

    As per the official reply from Gearset support

    ".....The issue is, if you manually delete the app, all the app visibilities will be deleted as well. But when using Gearset to delete the app visibilities, they are not completely deleted but set to false. The best workaround for this is to manually delete the xml from your git branch. ..."

    If Gearset can incorporate this feature, it would be nice.

    The workaround is not that hard as it may sound. 4 apps in 60 profiles takes about 10 mins to mass-find and mass-replace in VS Code.

  16. Make filter to search through all the components which are hidden under 1st level and expand the components

    Can I ask Gearset team to add filter in compared components to search through all the components which are hidden under 1st level (e.g. custom objects or profiles).
    For example, in the filter to compare metadata I selected certain custom tab (in the profile the access to the tab was deleted), also selected certain profiles, but serching through the compared metadata list I spent hours and did not manage to find those components for deployment package.
    The same is for object access. I selected certain object, selected certain profiles - and again, it's a hard quest to find necessary components…

  17. 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…

  18. Backup data search feature should allow wildcards

    Current the backup/restore search feature is an exact match search only. It would be great to use wild cards or to select "contains" "starts with" "ends with" or simply allow the user to use % to achieve the same.

    For example if I wanted to search for the account Willy Wonky Chocolate Factory, with the exact match I have to know the exact name, but with wild card I could search for %Chocolate% and get all accounts backed up with Chocolate in their name.

  19. Include "Messages reported by Salesforce" during Metadata Deployment in the final report

    During a metadata deployment, on the "deployment in progress" screen, there is a column for "message reported by salesforce".

    I think these should be included in the final results screen, and perhaps in the deployment report.

    These can be useful for the user to do things like make changes to their flows to conform to salesforce best practices.

  20. When merging a Pull Request that is linked to an Azure DevOps work item, indicate the user who performed the merge

    Currently, when a PR is merged into an Org (and the PR is linked to an Azure DevOps item), a discussion comment is added to the DevOps item documenting the merge. However, there is no indication in the comment to document the user who performed the merge. The Author of the comment appears to be the owner of the pipeline, not the user who performed the merge. My suggestion is to either make the author of the comment the person who performed the merge, OR in the content of the comments, add a line to indicate "Merged By: [Name of…
