Allow AppUser in developer sandbox to use API to create metadata instances in folders in production.
Metadata is set up in folders in our production via API by AppUser in the developer sandbox.
However, metadata templates belong to the production, and production-ready applications are not supported.
Therefore, we can set item values for the configured metadata instances, but we cannot create metadata instances.2 votes -

Meta Data
Two Recommendations;
1) When a file or folder has metadata applied, having a ICON on record (similar to a shared link or description) be visible.. Currently you don't know UNLESS you select the item and do to details to see if template has been applied.2) When metadata is applied, showing the metadata values when you select the record similar go to Details would be be great.
When using Metadata the file or folder where the metadata is applied should clearly show (like a shared link or description) that met2 votes -

Attribute dropdown list for performing Metadata searches in Box
We need a way to search for assets with metadata WITHOUT having to manually enter in the values into the Advanced Search tool.
Without this important feature, users are forced to have to know beforehand or remember the values associated with each metadata atttribute.
If someone had no idea which values to input into the search tool to search for assets, then how would they perform a search?2 votes -
Don't have incidence on rights in a tree when rights are updated in sub-folders
When You put rights on a root folder, if You need to change the rights for an user in sub-folder, the impact is on the whole tree and this is not really cool... The best way is to keep the rights functionality but to forget the incidence when You change rights on sub-folders.
It's very important !2 votes -
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
We used to be able to save the default view for STL files within a Box3d Metadata of the file. We no longer have that ability.

Compulsory sub-metadata once a specific metadata attribute has been chosen.
We want to expose a sub-set of metadata based on the initial choice of attribute. For example, if you were to pick the attribute "size" it might then offer you a subselection of size variants.

Updating metadata date to current date button
Having a button that would "Use Current Date" Would be a great benefit. Updating any date that is older than 10 years old takes two clicks. We have two dates associated with documents, being able to have a button that says use current date would save a lot of time when documents are updated.

I have some files sorted into collections. It would be great if I could select all the files and tag them.
Currently you have to tag each file in a collection individually. If you select all the tag option disappears.

Custom document repositories with metadata search
User groups often look to create an interface for document repositories for content stored on Box, where metadata could be used to search/filter content. That would be an interface with medatada fields similar to what can be found on websites (i.e. https://www.calpnetwork.org/library/). The current experience of using the native search, then selecting a single metadata template, then selecting an attribute is not sufficiently user friendly and it's not possible to embed a pre-selected set of metadata fields for search onto an intranet or website.
We're currently not using metadata templates much, but this would be a very practical way…1 vote -

Metadata Instance Update - Remove when no value should not fail
When Updating a metadata instance to remove a value from a specific instance, currently today the API fails if the field has no value.
I would like to propose that if the field had a value it is removed, and if it doesn't - then just ignore the operation. Similar to what add does if the field already has a value, it just silently replaces it.
As an option, in case others are relying on the failure, maybe add a new operation "forceRemove" so that if there is no value, the code will just ignore it and continue with the…

New Metadata Types that Reference Files, Folders, Users, and Groups
Provide the capability to store and manage a relationship as metadata. This would allow you to model peer and parent-child relationships between Files, Folders, Users, and Groups. This would store the unique id for the Box object and provide a user experience that would allow you to navigate to each item by clicking on the metadata value.

Need to be able to support very granular use-cases throughout a variety of business units and 500 templates isn't enough to support this effort
