  1. Automate upstream branch syncing

    After merging/deploying to prod allow auto-creation of sync PR's to upstream branches/orgs (QA, UAT, Staging, etc...). If the sync PR's could be promoted automatically that would be amazing.

  2. Add Pipeline Functionality to Handle Environment Refreshes and Branch Realignment

    In many Salesforce development workflows, environments (especially static ones like UAT or SIT) are periodically refreshed from production. When this happens, the environment’s metadata and configuration can become out of sync with the branch linked in Gearset Pipelines.

    This especially occurs when:

    • Changes were made directly in production that didn’t flow through the pipeline, but now exist in the refreshed sandbox.
    • A deployment was started partway through the pipeline but never completed to production, leaving partial changes held on branches in the repo.

    Currently, the workaround is to manually run a comparison and commit the differences to realign the branch.…

  3. Introduce precision deployment for Experience Sites.

    We have multiple changes in train at any time across our three Orgs within our pipeline. We do not manage these changes via our pipeline due to some of the UI changes being made by Community Admins outside our Devops framework. At times we may have 3 separate features impacting a single page and we need to promote these changes separately. At the moment the Org to Org deployment takes the components in their entirety.

  4. Add support for Jira Service Accounts

    Jira has (finally) added Service Accounts, so that full Jira users are no longer required. Would be great to take advantage of this. For reference: https://support.atlassian.com/user-management/docs/understand-service-accounts/

  5. Need to store the Source record ID from source to target org

    When moving data from Org1 to Org2, The record ID from the source needs to be stamped in the target org in order to update that in the future, and this will be really helpful.

    Thank you.

  6. Change the test running options in pipelines

    The options for tests in CI jobs/pipelines don't seem to offer quite what I need for sandbox deployments. Specifically, I want to be able to run all the tests when class/flow/trigger metadata is changing but no tests when tests metadata do not change.

    This is possible to do when deploying to production orgs by using the "Salesforce default tests" option (see https://docs.gearset.com/en/articles/1376067-setting-apex-test-levels). But it is not possible in sandboxes.

    In sandboxes, the "Salesforce default tests" option runs no tests at all which I don't want. I also don't want to run "All your tests" because if merging a branch…

  7. Delete Flow by Version Number

    It would be beneficial to delete specific inactive flow versions. Examples where this would help streamline deployment changes:

    • You need to delete a custom field that is used in a flow. You create a new version of a flow, remove the dependency on the custom field and activate the new flow. Now you want to remove the flow version that still has the custom field dependency. Something like a checkbox to select the version(s) to remove.

    • You have inactive versions of a flow and you want to clean up the historic flow versions. Something like a checkbox to select the…

  8. Add folders to Data Deployments for better organization

    To help with organizing data deployment templates it would be great to have some sort of folder structure to allow us to group data deployments by team. We have several Salesforce Teams at my company and we all have slightly different data deployment needs. It would be great to have team folders for data deployment templates...for example Sales Team Templates, Service Team Templates, Marketing Team Templates, etc. Today we use some naming conventions which is fine, but would be a little cleaner if we had a folder structure. Thanks for your consideration.

  9. focus

    When viewing a Comparisons results and click the filter icon in the column header to filter that column, it would be nice for the focus to be automatically placed on the filter text so it can be typed directly (without having to click on the filter text field).

  10. checkbox

    When viewing Open Pull Requests in an environment in a pipeline, the user can click the checkbox beside the pull request thinking they have selected that pull request. Clicking the checkbox does not currently select that Pull Request in the UI. It would be nice if clicking the checkbox would also select the current Pull Request in case another function such as "Close pull request" (trashcan icon on right pane) is being selected.

    It is easy to think you have selected the pull request when clicking the checkbox for it and in turn close the wrong pull request as a…

  11. Enable AccountContactRelation standard object as part of data deploy

    After chatting with support, it seems to be impossible to deploy an AccountContactRelation record when IsDirect = TRUE, meaning the AccountContactRelation is between a Contact and its primary Account.

    When I try deploying an Account record, Contact record and the AccountContactRelation record that joins them as top-level objects in the same deployment, I receive the error "INVALIDCROSSREFERENCE_KEY:You can't associate a private contact with an account.:ContactId --", presumably because in the order of operations, the Contact hasn't been updated with the Account lookup yet.

    When I try splitting this into 2 deploys, deploying the AccountContactRelation alone as part of…

    I would like to suggest a feature for Gearset that provides a more granular control over user permissions. Specifically, it would be beneficial to have the option to allow a user to commit changes to a branch but block their ability to create a pull request (PR). This would allow our team to review the commits before a PR is opened, providing a more effective way to manage and correct any potential issues before they impact the main repository. This is an improvement that would significantly streamline our workflow and reduce the risk of errors.

  13. Download multiple objects at once from a backup run

    Given the related nature of many objects within a Salesforce Org. It would be helpful to be able to filter on and select records from multiple objects in a single data download.

  14. Changing API Version should make it obvious to save filter before CI Job can be saved

    It's a usability bug, I think.
    When you change the API version in a CI Job, the button to save CI Job greys out but has a spinning dial of 'Something happening'. Actually the system is doing nothing, it is waiting for the filter to be saved (even if the filter wasn't saved before) but this is completely unclear.
    Changes then
    1. auto-save filter or bring up the 'save filter' modal
    2. Show a toast message saying "save filter"
    3. Button should grey out with hover text of "save filter", no spinner

    I waited longer than I care to admit,…

  15. Add a link to open the deployment when a change is being promoted

    The pipeline view only shows that a deployment is "running" after promoting a change. It would be useful to have a link to the deployment job and be able to view the deployment status in gearset.

  17. Update Test naming convention matching to work with implementation classes

    We are using fflib and the AEP enterprise design pattern. As part of this design pattern we have interfaces and implementations for our Service layer classes. E.g. we will have something like ILumpSumService and LumpSumServiceImpl. When we create a test class it would be something like LumpSumServiceTest. So it would be great if the logic could be updated to match use cases where you have an implementation class like that. Also, I think any net new test classes added should be executed no matter what

  18. Restore feature branch when a mid-flight promotion branch is restored

    Have just experienced a scenario where closing a PR that is mid-flight in the pipeline caused the promotion branch and underlying feature branch to be deleted. So far, so good in terms of expected behaviour due to my pipeline settings. However, after restoring the promotion branch in order to reopen the PR and promote it in the pipeline, the next environment on the pipeline did not then show the change. This, I believe, was because restoring the promotion branch DID NOT restore the feature branch. Therefore there was no source to create a new promotion branch from in order to…

  19. Create a mass back propagation button

    Its very time consuming to have to back propagate one by one to each org. Please create a mass back propagation button.

    Also when back propagating where more than one connection to an org exists for instance our techdebt org has several admin connections and I have to hit update on all of them. Make the back propagation smart enough to know that it only needs one update rather than on each connection to the same org
