Uploader Name in Metadata / extractable form
Hey there, would love to have the ability to take the uploader name from the metadata, or something similar. Our workflows require files to be renamed for archive with that information, and having it in a metadata form would enable us to fully automate that process, rather than have it semi-automated as it is currently. Thank you.

I want to lock an instance's value of a metadata template
Given that a template has multi-select that has A, B and C as value. Currently, if a user has attached an Instance of a Template to a file, on that Instance, a multi-select field has the value of “B”. If the Template is updated so that multi-select option “B” is changed to “D”, then that change will also affect the value in the Instance (and all other Instances of the Template). Because the value of “B” no longer exists as a valid option on the Template, Box cannot keep that value in the Instance. Similarly, if the option “B” was…

Provide enterprise configuration of folder metadata cascade
- Provide an enterprise configuration option that would allow viewing/editing/adding folder level metadata without also enabling the ability to cascade metadata.
- Provide an enterprise configuration option that would limit the ability to initiate cascading metadata to owners and co-owners.
- Provide an enterprise configuration option that would limit the ability of a template to be cascaded.

Improve consistency of UX between Folder & File metadata in web app
Right now (July 2019) in the FLMD public beta, the UX for Folder level metadata is very inconsistent (and arguably more cumbersome) than File level metadata.
For Folder level metadata, the metadata modal only displays after clicking "Edit", which is unintuitive since most users will just be viewing and not editing the Folder metadata.

Enhance Metadata dropdown widget
With the version of BOX - if you add a metadata dropdown - the user interface is fairly limited. For example if the dropdown has more than about 25 items - you not only cannot see additional items; you cannot even search for them.
Ideally where would be a scrollbar on the dropdown or the ability to search for options contained within the dropdown.

Provide a single API method to upload a file and apply metadata as an atomic operation
Unified Upload API (File and Metadata) - Having a single API call to upload a file (or file(s)) with associated metadata would provide large improvements in error avoidance and development logic. Currently, this process must be completed with multiple API calls, which leaves space for errors and sullies the user experience.

Metadata “number” format supports comma “,”.
In order to comply with the Electronic Bookkeeping Act, amounts are entered in "number" format in the metadata.In this case, we would like to enter a comma "," as a separator to prevent errors in the number of digits. Currently, the "Number" format only allows numbers to be entered.If we select "Text" as the format, we can enter a comma ",". However, there is a risk of unintentional full-width input being mixed in, so it is preferable to select "Number" as the format and be able to enter a comma ",". (1000 separator)
電子帳簿保存法の対応のため、メタデータの「数字」形式に金額を入力しています。
この際に、桁数の誤りを防止する目的で、区切り文字のカンマ「,」を入力したいと考えています。
現在は、「数字」形式では数字のみしか入力できません。形式として「テキスト」を選択すると、カンマ「,」の入力が可能ですが、意図しない全角入力が紛れ込む危険があるため、
形式としては「数字」を選択したまま、カンマ「,」の入力が可能になることが望ましいです。4 votes -

Metadata additonal column
Adding metadata as an additional column into Box interface which is similar to Tags can help to check the status.
The User activity report should have option to pull the report for who add/edit status in the report and should have what the collaborators tried to add.
The user activity report should have ability to get the Tags Add/Edit from the report.

Metadata export with file upon download
We use box widget on our website for file upload. We have a metadata form/template that gets filled out, however outside of box there is no way we can use that data. We are looking to automate some process's it would be nice if the information that is filled out could be extracted with the uploaded pdf file upon download. Once the pdf has been downloaded the metadata that goes with the file is gone. I'm told that this isn't possible currently with box. Hopefully some consideration on how box can be used in automation process outside of its own…

Improving metadata input experience from file request links
The operability of the metadata amount and date input fields should be improved.
Currently, after entering a numeric value, the input value changes unless the user selects a blank space on the screen or moves to the next item, which does not seem to be a common operability.
For example, entering 1000 in the metadata amount field from the request link and then entering the next item without selecting a blank space on the screen or moving to the next item will cause the amount value to change to 999.4 votes -
Metadata immediately is searchable
After metadata is added, there is a lag for when it is searchable. Please eliminate this lag so that it is immediately searchable.

Have the Box Metadata Live with the file in in the XMP packet
Upon EXport of a file from Box all "Box" metadata should be appended to the XMP packet of Valid Formats under a Box Schema. For example, any image format should move with the associated metadata from one system to another if you have to export from box to a 3rd party dam you don't want to have to export all the metadata with it as a separate file - appending to the XMP would be very useful

Allow an upload of data for Options fields in Metadata templates.
For the metadata templates, our team has large lists of projects, clients, names, etc that would be best uploaded for potential Option fields in various metadata templates. This would help upon setup and updating of templates.

Save the default view for STL files on upload
We would like the ability to save the default view for STL files to save the orientation, render mode, and camera projection within the web preview

Add ability to localize Metadata attributes and values
When adding new values/attributes to a metadata template, the same value is used by all users regardless of user's locale.
For companies that have users in a wide range of geographies, it would be helpful to be able to give metadata attributes/values different names for different locales.
