Delete records from the target org during a data deployment
Provide options to delete records from Target Org. This will help clean up of test data and reload from Source.

When viewing comparisons, allow the "Export All..." to utilize existing filters
When viewing a comparison... I have various filters set to exclude certain differences like "Reports, "Permission Sets". It would be nice if you provided an option on the "Export All..." page to either export everything (disregard filters) like it does now, or to respect any filters that currently exist on the comparison so that I only see the values shown on the page based on my filters.

Retain Link to JIRA Tasks When Combining Deployments
Part of our release management policy is for all deployment to be associated with JIRA tasks. I noticed that when cloning individual deployment the association with JIRA tasks is retained. However, when combining multiple deployments, the relationship with JIRA is broken and as a result, we need to re-associate each JIRA task back to the combined deployment package.

Allow retrying failed validations and deployments
I'm often running into the situation where the validation failed either due to transient circumstances in the org, or due to the org settings being incorrectly configured. In this scenario, I would like to simply retry the validation using the same package, and I'd look for that option somewhere here:
https://app.gearset.com/deployments/validations
Running a new comparison (using the "clone package" option) is unnecessary, takes a lot of time. Also using the "view comparison" option is overkill. I would rather not go through those motions of recalling the comparison results from cache, going through the analysis once again, etc. Because I know…

provide creation of immutable deployment package
I would like a way for Gearset to create an immutable deployment package that can then be deployed to different orgs. This immutable package should contain a copy of the selected objects, list of unit tests to be executed and not allow variation in the deployment except selecting the target org. This would also save time by not requiring a new comparison to run for each target org.

See Continuous Integration Deployments in the Deployment History tab
List deployments resulting from a CI job on the Deployment History tab along with manual deployments.
We currently deploy metadata using both manual and CI jobs and it would be convenient to see all deployments in the same list (for debugging, reporting, monitoring).

Allow notification for long running jobs
Allow a for a notification to be sent when a Continuous Integration job runs longer than N minutes. Most of our jobs tend to complete in under one minute, so if a job runs longer than 30 minutes, being notified would be helpful.

Better handle Shares on Report and Dashboard Folders in pre-validation
during the pre-validation of a deployment, validate that the shares exist for report and dashboard folders. Currently if they do not exist in the target they fail during deployment. Only option today is to clean them up after error in source org and then redeploy. Instead, it would be useful if gearset removed them during the pre-validation.

Cruise control feed for Deployment Steps
We are planning to let our team notify and keep informed about the deployment steps status just that they can stay informed about it. These are non-Gearset users.
Can we have a monitoring feed for Deployment steps that take place from Compare and deploy Screen 1 which contains basic deployment details (Source and Target). So as an When we progress with the deployment steps, it will keep it updated. Similar what you have for Unit Test monitoring feed. (Test monitoring Cruise Control feed)

Queue Deployments
Current State:
A few devs have work in their individual sandboxes that are ready to be pushed to the higher .dev sandbox org
1st Dev deploys work to .dev
2nd Dev deployment fails because org is locked
Idea:
A few devs have work in their individual sandboxes that are ready to be pushed to the higher .dev sandbox org
1st Dev deploys work to .dev
2nd Dev deployment is queued up, 2nd Dev will be notified via email/browser when queued deployment has started

Suggest related metadata for selected types in filter
Gearset provides some very useful documentation on the importance of including groups of related metadata in a filter.
https://docs.gearset.com/metadata-deployment-guides/using-gearset-to-deploy-profiles
It would be very helpful if the Manage Filters dialog implemented these suggestions. For example, when a Profile is included in the filter, the user should be prompted to also select Profile Password Policy, Profile Session Setting, External Data Source, Apex pages, Layouts, and Custom Objects. Otherwise, the likelihood of Gearset assembling an accurate Profile without all of the related components will be slim.
Gearset obviously has deep knowledge of metadata semantics and dependencies. The Manage Filter page needs to reflect…

custom object translation of the Product2 object
The custom object translation of the Product2 object, specifically, is not behaving like the other custom object translations. So when I changed the label of this standard Object : Product2 (Set-up -> rename tabs and labels)
i can't find it in Gearset. I have to make this change manuelly.1 vote -
Clean up source/destination drop downs to be consistent across all UI elements.
The drop down lists for picking source/destination are different in the UI.
For example, in compare and deploy production salesforce connections are not in the list alphanumerically, they are appended to the bottom while in a clone deployment they are all listed alphanumerically.
Just being picky, but consistency one way or another would be great.

Show the latest commit(s) in the slack notification
It would be extremely useful for the development team to see the last set of commits which were deployed via an automated job, so that if it breaks it is easier to tell what broke the build or if it is successful what the org has been updated with.

Problem analysers - to ignore the user config element
On metadata deployments, I frequently struggle with Report Folders, Workflow Updates, and other configuration elements that have individual users assigned to them. The struggle is that individual users assigned to these config elements often do not exist in the target org. This results in the entire deployment failing, and many times, manually configuring the report, report folder, etc.
A nice solution to this would be a new section on the Problem analysis screen that allows me to exclude the users from the config element that is being deployed.
It is useful to call these scenarios out, because I need to…

give the ability to ignore certain changes between Sandbox and Production enviornments
After deploying from a Sandbox to a Production environment, you will always see a 'change' for Custom Objects and Custom Fields because there is no Encryption Scheme (for example)

Export snapshot of production org to git
I'd like to be able to export a snapshot of all the metadata from my production org (include all components) to my git repository by clicking a single button.
After every release, it's worth taking whole metadata export from the org to git for the next/on-going releases.
For now, we have to create a couple of metadata projects to export the metadata to git, which is a tedious job and takes a lot of time.

Filter on selected items
I want to quickly be able to identify components that have not been reviewed by only seeing unselected items in the "Changed items", "New items" and "Deleted items" top level filters.
seeing the ones I have already selected slows down productivity and I have to scroll through them. If I want to see them I can always look at the "All items" section. This information is also available in the difference type column.

add the ability to run static code analysis against an org or source control, simply click refresh button to re-run it and see results
This will give you a "run code analysis -> see results -> fix issues -> push to source control (or an org) -> repeat" workflow.
