Summary pages should always include ALL changed files
I believe this to be a bug, but it might be intentional. In any case, the current functionality is, in my opinion, poorly conceived.
If a user adds a deletion to a comparison between an org and git, the deleted metadata is the only item that will show up in Gearset. However, if you inspect the resulting commit in git, you will see that the metadata was deleted along with all of the profiles, layouts, etc that had to be changed as a side effect.
I'm completely fine with Gearset detecting these dependencies and making the changes to them. It…

Import list of metadata items into org comparison.
When running a comparison, a user should be able to import a list of metadata items based on an agreed format (likely API names). This list would allow the user to save effort from copy pasting api names if they track their changes in an external system. For example, we track changes in our release system within our Salesforce production org. Our manifest items are tracked such as "customobjectc.customfield__c" and have statuses such as new/updated/deleted so we have a historical references of our changes. Being able to import these changes while still having the ability to select…

Ability to search Deployment History for specific metadata
On the "Deployment History" tab, the filter dialog filters on the visible friendly name and items like that. What I would like to do is enter a specific metadata name and have the list filter down to deployments where that specific metadata name was a part of the deployment. This would be useful when getting the question, "when was xyz last deployed?"
13 votesIf we implemented this and it was only able to search metadata from that point in time onwards, would that be useful or would it be confusing to communicate in the UI?

This is related to webhooks feature in Gearset.
Currently webhooks allow to trigger external job like jenkins job using webhooks. However its doesn't give any information related to this job whether its been called or not or pass or fail.
Use case:
The Jenkins job which I am triggering through Gearset calls my regression tests which runs on Jenkins server. I want to see the information like the Jenkins job has been called successfully and test results like number of tests run, pass , failed etc.
Having this I can make sure the Webhook is working fine and know my test results in Gearset itself.

Ability to chose multiple targets for a deployment
It would be nice to be able to deploy to multiple environments all at once from one source.
35 votesWe're currently reviewing how we can facilitate deployments to multiple Salesforce instances simultaneously. Please let us know how you manage this currently, or how you would like to manage it - thanks!

Provide an option to run Aura and/or LWC testing before deployment
I don't think that very many people are actually creating Aura/LWC tests yet, but they really should be.
Since SF doesn't require them like it does for Apex, if we decide that those tests ought to be run before deployment, it would be great to have Gearset run them. This will help us to make sure they are run before every deployment instead of relying on developers remembering to do it manually.

Allow save into a draft deployment after Refresh Comparison
Use case:
Source is master, target is org
Create draft deployment between master and org; Save
...time passes, new items are added to master
Open draft deployment
Refresh Comparison to see new items in master
Select new items
Click Save Draft Deployment --you have to create a new version (and no obvious way to even see the current draft's name without opening a new tab)Seems like you should be able to save back into the same draft after refresh comparison (or at least have option to do so).
When you create a new version of the draft; you have…

Combine multiple daily monitoring results into a single deployment
If you want to deploy the differences of an org on a weekly basis, it would be a great option to take the monitoring results of the last 7 days into a single deployment.
Especially in huge orgs, where comparism takes 30 minutes time to show up, this would ease deployment pretty much.2 votes -
Allow sfdx project files for scratch org creation
When creating a scratch org, allow us to select/configure a sfdx-project.json. This will allow for more complicated sfdx project to be deployed, i.e. multiple project folders, namespaces, ... etc.

Allow record id as the first criteria for matching lookup fields
When deploying data records from production to sandbox, the default matching criteria for the owner field will not typically work...
Gearset currently matches on email and profile, but the email addresses for users get modified in sandboxes. So, no match is found for users other than the one who created the sandbox.
It would be great if the first check was: does the user record id match. If not, use email + profile, if not, use the current user.

Autodeploy on git branch a successfully manual deployment on org
When a developper deploy a new feature on a sandbox it will be perfect if the deployment can be auto deploy on a branch git (and copy the deployement note, etc).
Today I use a CI job backup on the sandbox but we lost the deployment comment + the updates granulartity.
We could use also the "Clone Button" on the result deployment page but it's lost time to relaunch the comparison and the different step etc while we want exactly replicate the deployment.

When CI jobs fail with "admin operation already in progress", retry the CI job automatically
I was informed in my slack integration today that my CI job failed with an error message of UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION: admin operation already in progress See https://app.gearset.com/failed...
I would like to see Gearset automatically identify this type of error as something different than a metadata error and then retry that CI job 3 times over the next 90 minutes (for example). It would be fine for it to stop after those 3 successive failures.

Provide the ability to run static code analysis on all commits to the repo
We'd like the ability to run static code analysis on all commits to a repo, regardless of the branch name. This would allow us to catch code quality issues early and up front, regardless of the branching model we use.
Example: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/gitflow-workflow (development is done in feature-* branches, so there's no one branch we can configure a CI job on)

Gearset to do Sanbox Refresh by copying metadata and data from production
Quite often an Environment needs to be refreshed, but every time it happens all the integration breaks as OrgId changes. Gearset can move metadata and data, which when made together can be a solution for sandbox refresh. Full copy sandbox sometimes takes days, GS will be able to it quite quickly.

Display the Filter used in the Comparison history screen
It would be helpful in finding the right comparison to look at if you could see on the Comparison History screen which filter was used. It would also be helpful when looking at the comparison details to know which filter was used.

Preserve auto-number field values during a data deployment
Staging environments typically exist with integrations with other systems that have references to auto-number fields
Data deployment re-evaluates auto-number fields instead of keeping the values of the source.If data deployment jobs could automate the following it would probably work
1. changing the type of the auto-number field to text in the target org
2. potentially removing apex references to the field
3. deploying the data
4. rolling back metadata modifications in steps 1 and 21 vote -
Show the commit message with the Commit ID on the CI History Screen
The CI Job History Screen would be much more useful for me if it was able to show the commit message on the commit that triggered the CSI alongside the source commit ID.

Eliminate unnecessary XML reformatting in git
Currently, when gearset deploys XML to git, it seems to run it through a reformatter, which creates superfluous changes in git. These changes cause extremely large deltas, which are hard to read, increase the difficulty of merges and the likelihood of conflicts, and make working with any other metadata tooling (like SFDX) difficult.
For example, here is part of a delta gearset commited for a profile.xml:
diff --git a/force-app/main/default/profiles/Commissions.profile-meta.xml b/force-app/main/default/profiles/Commissions.profile-meta.xml
index 8b11e6b7..3d640a50 100644

Add option to suppress managed custom fields in comparison results
When comparing Custom Objects that contain the managed custom fields there is no way to suppress the managed custom fields. The fields would show up in the comparison results even without being requested. The problem analyzers then highlights and remove these managed custom fields.
This is cumbersome when repeated and makes finding genuine differences we care about more difficult.
From the problem analyzers, it sounds like Gearset is able to identify the managed custom fields. Therefore could there be an option under [Include managed package] in the Custom Filters that allows the suppression of known managed fields in comparison results?
