Reviews & Comments of Salesforce Change Set Helper chrome extension

If you use change sets, this is an absolutely crucial tool -- especially if you are in an older org with tons of records and metadata. I've not really found much use in the compare functions, but the auto-sort of component lists alone is incredibly helpful. It automatically sorts components by type and last modified date, which saves time every time for every element you add to a change set. If you aren't making a move to DevOps, do yourself a favor and install this extension!

fantastic!

Absolutely essential for anyone who uses Change Sets in Salesforce. This app has saved me countless hours in customer deployments.

I have used this for years - I will say there were small periods of time where it did not work, but I kept coming back hopeful and it has worked for me consistently for the last year or so.. even in Lightning! I used to have to switch to Classic but it works well for me in Lightning now which is great. I would say this is my favorite Salesforce Chrome extension.

This thing is amazing. Perhaps one of the worst features in Salesforce, this thing gets it right and fixes it.

It worked on my windows machine. Trying it now on Mac. Will edit review later, but seems to be a pretty solid, free extension to use to stop wasting as much time as change sets take.

I regret to inform that there is an issue with this extension. Recently Chrome had an update and since then this extension is not performing few bits... When we add custom fields, this extension was asking (via popup) if we are ok to load anothe rbatch of data (I think it was breaking it into batches of 1000 records). Since last chrome update - this popup doesn't show anymore (in lightning) which means extension is not indexing all custom fields. It still works in classic, but would be nice to get this fixed... From what I can see, this is due to javascript popups being simply completely blocked by chrome without any indication that they should be there. And it impacts us only on lightning interface, classic is still fine... Any ideas how to fix this?

I'll never go back to not using this.

Really helpful tool

Froze up my change set screen. Didn't do anything else.

Very useful for selecting components for a change set. For me, the feature that lets you search the already selected components was not working making it still hard to navigate through larger change sets. The new features are a nice plus.

I've used this extension for years, even didn't mind switching back to Classic because it was so helpful. Now with it working in Lightning, it's a game changer! So awesome, thank you for building it.

Woohoo! It works in Lightning now!! I no longer have to switch to Classic to use this very helpful extension. As an extra bonus, it now also works with Global Picklists. Life is good (well, except for all the bad stuff happening in the world today). Regarding the experience with this extension, it definitely helps save time when putting together a large change set. Not sure why this isn't native functionality with Salesforce. The biggest help is with custom fields. Being able to surface the most recently modified (or other preferred sort) is a time saver. If you have a few thousand fields, it does take a minute or two to sort them, but once that's done it'll save you many more minutes than that in finding the fields you need. Oh, it's also free. That's a good thing!

Excellent tool - nice one Sue!

LOVE THIS!! I loath how error prone and manually change set deployments are. This extension has manual deployments so much easier and less risky! If we had the budget I would love Gearset or Corpado, but this extension literally makes manual change sets bearable!! Thank you!!!

Its just rendering again and again. Useless extesion

Love this extension. Makes adding to change sets so much quicker and easier.

Five stars if it would work in lightning. Great otherwise.

Very good tool! Still need to add support for Global Value Sets and for orgs with restricted http sessions setting..

I downloaded this extension but it has never worked for me. I've tried several different things but no luck. I click on it and nothing happens. when i click on it, all it keeps saying is, "Welcome to Salesforce Change Set Helper". Is there a fix for this?? please help

I really liked the extension, but have started getting below exception from last 1 week. ERROR: ........... Remote invocation failed, due to: status code:

Thank you for saving me hours and hours of battling with the 'native' Change Set. Being able to see the recent changes in the Org and add them, and to find items in the existing Set without going... Next Next Next Next Next ... THANK YOU!

This extension seems not working in Lightning?

Nice extension. Took a bit of trial and error to find stuff. I'd like to see: - compare on items in the change set. Seems I can only compare when adding items in the 'Add' screen. - show on the page the org name being compared with. - should not have to click Compare to org button to see compare column every time page refreshes. - click of compare to org always displays login window, but I can close that (without login) to use the last selected logged-in org (I think) - which is not obvious. - what is the connected app package: Salesforce Change Set Helper? It came up in a sandbox I was comparing to. Does it need installing on all orgs? I seem to be able to compare orgs without it. Great tool - but could do with more detailed instructions.

This works great in classic! Would be good to have it work in Lightning also. Only issue I've had so far is it currently throws an error for me when attempting to add Global Value Sets - "ERROR: ........... {faultcode:'sf:INVALID_TYPE', faultstring:'INVALID_TYPE: Unknown type:Picklist', }"

This is a much needed enhancement to the change set creation process! One thing that would be great is if there was a way to set a last modified date filter prior to the initial load of the components, in orgs with 1000's of components, it would reduce the list to the components that are most likely to be part of the change set one is creating.

Love this tool. Change sets were such a nightmare before finding this.

Awesome!!! Great talent from my co-worker Susan :)

Great helped me a lot during deployments.. Best out of all deployment chrome extensions available

It used to work great, but it doesn't work any more. When it tells me I have more than 1000 items and to continue or cancel, when I cancel it just gives me the java wait spinner and I can't use the page.

Awesome - big help for identifying components to add to a changeset.

It was working perfectly. But suddenly it isnt working anymore. It gets stuck on loading and doesnt pick dates etc fields from SF. I have tried it on 4,5 different PC's and 4,5 different systems.

makes my life so much easier.

This extension is awesome

No more working with last version of Chrome .. rotating wheel never stops on classes, triggers, etc ..

Perfect Helper. :)

Excellent tool - makes deployments pain free!

Awesome tool, thank you!

Extremely helpful!

Suddenly after installing this, the devs in our team are competing to be the one to get to build the changeset, rather than dreading having to spend hours building it. Definitely a game-changer for building changesets. Like a previous user, we get the spinning wheel when loading lots of items (our org has 4000+ fields) but it gets there eventually, and for a big change set, it's definitely worth waiting for. I've tried a couple of change set helpers but this one takes the cake, with the ability to filter by date modified and last modified by - not to mention diffing with other orgs. Thanks Susan Bohme! :)

Looks good. But when I am trying to use it, the spinning wheel keeps on rotating and never stops. So I can't use it. Any solution or idea?

Very extensive and helpful!
