Pre-fill Pull Request Description with comments from last commits
In order to save time, when a Pull Request is created from the Pipeline, the Description field could be pre-filled with the comments from the last commits in the feature branch, instead of forcing the User to type something.

Use location of metadata in source branch or local folder when adding to target branch
When adding a file from a branch or local folder (source) to another branch (target) not having the file, use its location in the source as the location in the target.
Currently all new files are placed in the default folder [1].
Let's assume a new file, "HelloWorld.cls", in the source is located in .../force-app/main/default/classes/special/ and that class doesn't exist in the target. When the deployment is complete the file should exist in the target's .../force-app/main/default/classes/special/ folder, matching its location in the source. Currently it would be placed in .../force-app/main/default/classes/.

Save sort order of grids
It would be nice to be able to sort by column names and save that sort order for the next time the page loads or save a default sort order. We sort often by jobname and would like to not have to resort everytime we need to touch a ci job to sort the column.

Delete feature branches in Github in a way that they can be restored
I closed a PR to master, and Gearset deleted the feature branch. However, it wasn't merged, so I wanted to restore it to continue work. I was completely gone from Github. I believe Gearset should do a normal delete that allows restoration instead of completely obliterating feature branches or allow an option to do so.

Get Notified if Pull Requests or Validation Fails
Our Org has Gearset Officers who handle promotions. It happens at times that I create a pull request and have it start validating (which can take a while). I'll navigate away from the screen and totally forget about it, assuming it'll get pushed to the next environment.
But sometimes there are merge conflicts, or validation fails. I'd love to get a notification, either in email, or as an integration to an attached jira ticket that it failed. That way ill be notified by slack or whatever.
Just an addendum here. We use 3 environments. Admin, UAT, and finally Production. When…

Add support for OverrideSettings for Vlocity datapacks
It would be great if there is a way to set up OverrideSettings https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.os_build_tool_override_datapack_settings.htm&type=5 for the deployment pipeline. For example, FilterFields can be specified, so those fields are removed from the datapack before being committed to the git repo.
This should help to reduce the number of differences in the compare view when e.g. Salesforce IDs are different or empty attributes are added.

is it possible to add a filter for "selected feature branches only" ?
is it possible to add a filter for "selected feature branches only" ? My business problem is that i am a deployment manager and i need to quickly validate what ive selected before building the release.

Show Date/Time of Validation Run in Validation Details
I would like to see the "Effective Date" of a validation in the Validation Details screen (at /continuous-integration-job-validation-errors).
I only ever access this information from the Deployment pipelines and so don't ever see the date/time the validation was run (near as I can tell this is only available in the CI jobs section).
To better explain my reason for asking:
Oftentimes when a validation fails it is sufficient to rerun the validation (on account of Delta CI jobs doing weird things sometimes). What I've found myself doing is perusing the validation errors, clicking "retry validation", then going about other tasks…1 vote -
User Data & Logs
For audit reason we have been asked to provide a comprehensive user list with the following data:
User Status (Active/Inactive)
User Creation/Removal Date
Created/Removed/Updated by
Updated Value (if you change the role of a user from member to owner or opposite)
User Last Login DateThese data are part of the user audit control (create/update/remove users) and are very important to prove you have control who gets access, and there is no risk for unauthorized access but also to prove that segregation of duties is in place.
Thank you!

Deployment pipeline view personalization
Currently, the view in continuous integration (deployment pipeline) is sorted by ABC, which is not user friendly when there are many team members. In this case I appear last and I need to find myself in this screen.
I suggest you to either:
1. allow creating personal views per user, so I can see only my dev sandbox, full sandbox and production.
2. change the scroll into a "regular" scroll, and not the current drag scroll4 votes -
Allow XML comparison to be exported
Being able to extract the XML for the change and the target's differences would allow us to analyze and track label/code changes versus just ordering or location changes.
My issue is similar to the "Enhance XML meta data comparison to ignore changes in XML order" and "Export Comparison details all items" and "Allow download of XML files from the comparisons page"

Search with components returned by metadata comparison
Performing a search across the returned components xml would be helpful. In our org we add a JIRA ticket reference to the Description - having the ability to search for the ticket number string would help narrow the list.

default repository
Allow to set a default repository when you have multiple repositories.
- Navigate to Compate and Deploy
- Select Source Control and select a VCS(in our case Gitlab Self Managed)
- If you have dozens of repositories they all show up on the list
- Need ability to specific a default repo which will be auto selected

Show PR Flow changes in Flow Navigator View
New new Flow Navigator view is really good.
It is such a shame that I am only able to view flow in flow navigator in comparison view (when creating pull request).
I would love to be able to open flow in flow navigator directly from teammates open pull requests. That would really speed up reviewing flow changes cuz reading metadata on VCS is not the clearest thing to do.1 vote -
deploy user records via REST api
Currently there is no way to deploy user records via Gearset because the Data Deployment feature uses the Bulk API. This is painful for those cases when we have sandbox testers that we need to move between sandboxes!! Please add the ability to deploy users via REST API.

Ability to automate deployment to a particular environment without manually promoting changes
When there are multiple Salesforce environments in the deployment pipeline, like Integration, Qa, Stage and Production, we would like to have ability to automate deployments to a specific environment, without having to select PR and promote changes manually. Most of the times SIT/Integration environment will be used for Developers to be able to perform integration testing, where we do not want someone like a Lead to review and promote PR manually. It will be beneficial to deploy the changes automatically, as soon as someone creates the PR to the Integration environment.

Create releases in Pipelines not at final stage
Right now you can only create releases at the last environment in a Pipeline. We'd like to have 2 stages so we have a true dry-run of deployment. Our pipeline is
Dev > QA > UAT > Staging > ProductionCreation of the release branch before Staging would allow us to effectively cherry-pick what we want deployed into Staging as we get UAT approvals, do a test deployment where QA does a sanity/smoke test and have greater confidence when we get to our Production release.

Expand Notifications Capabilities
Currently 'Notifications' found under 'Settings' in 'My Account' allow for send outs for your owned connections. It would be helpful to have the ability to make notifications for connections that have been delegated to you as well.

Ability to move existing field to be under another section on layout
If I have multiple sections on my layout.
I have a specific field under one layout section, but now I changed the layout so the field no is moved to another section.
Now I can't do that because the compare and deploy forces me to override the existing section where the field is under.
My intention is to move the field place to be under another section and not delete the other layout section1 vote
