  1. Problem Analyzer should remove picklist values from record types when picklist values are removed from the picklist or value set.

    When removing or deactivating a picklist value, Problem Analyzer should remove these values from any record types that reference them. While the initial deployment of the picklist may succeed, subsequent deployments of the referencing record types will fail if they still reference a deactivated picklist value.

  2. Picklist Comparison should show if value is active/inactive

    When comparing a picklist in which we have deactivated values, the simplified comparison visualization shows the deactivated values as being "added" (in green, on the source side).

    The XML reveals <isactive>false</isactive> is being added, but the simplified view seems to suggest new values are added instead

  3. New, one-click "Promote" button is very risky

    In Deployment Pipelines when a PR for a CI Job is selected, a new, one-click "Promote" button exists, if the PR passes merge-conflict and validation checks. This new button is very risky in that it begins the promotion process, without recourse, when clicked.

    Perhaps that's the designers intent but for myself at least, the button is too easy to accidentally click out of inattention, distraction or mouse clumsiness and is especially risky in that I cannot recall the action.

    Personally I like the process of clicking the PR checkbox and clicking "Promote", which prevents unintended deployments.

    As an alternative to…

  4. Add pipeline support for CPQ

    CPQ deploys to and from Github/Salesforce so it should be a relatively simple issue to include this in the pipeline deployments. You could add a checkbox or just warning to ensure that triggers are manually disabled when that is needed.

  5. Configure the "Saved Comparison Pair" to always use a specific Comparison Filter

    When managing multiple orgs, and running comparisons, the Saved Comparison Pair saves a lot of time. However, sometimes we need to use different Comparison Filters, based on which environments we are comparing.

    Instead of first choosing the Comparison Pair, then manually selecting the Comparison Filter to use, it would be great to be able to (optionally) configure the Comparison Pair to use a specified Comparison Filter.

    Example Use Case:

    When committing work from our Dev org to BitBucket, we exclude Apex Classes & Triggers, and mainly commit declarative functionality (Apex code is committed separately from our dev team). All development…

  6. audit report missing PR message

    The audit reports don't include much context of the deployment, which means they are pretty useless to us and do not serve our auditors' needs. Specifically, they do not include the PR message for deployments through our pipeline, which means we can't link each deployment to the specific ticket responsible for that deployment. The PR message is where we put our ticket. This information is needed for our SOX audit process. Additionally, we can not see a link back to the deployment, which would allow us to quickly reference the specific metadata files/components that were deployed.

  7. 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.

  8. 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/.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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…

  12. 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.

  15. 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…

  16. 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 Date

    These 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!

  17. 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 scroll

  18. 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"

  19. 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.

  20. default repository

    Allow to set a default repository when you have multiple repositories.

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