selecting a date on a file request page for mobile
When I send a file request on Mobile page, it's difficult to select a correct date that I hope from a metadata template . I can not see the whole of the calender and it doesn't follow my touch action on the mobile screen.

JSON file with metadata template field names for Doc Gen.
We are using metadata to build documents using Doc Gen. The issue we constantly struggle with is building the template tags in the Doc Gen template from the fields in the metadata template. We don't know the exact field name to use in the JSON file so it requires some trial and error. It would be very helpful to generate the JSON file from the metadata template in the format needed to create the Doc Gen template tags.

Expose technical metadata
In order to find e.g. the largest version of a media file or to define if the technical parameters of a media file are sufficient for further processing, the exposure of technical meta data should be provided by Box in a standard meta data template which should automatically apply to any file stored in Box.
Technical metadata are:
- for page-based documents like PDF, MS Office, Indesign: number of pages, format/orientation, size in mm h/w
- for bitmap image files (tif, jpg, png, bmp, gif, ...): no of pixels h/w, size in mm w/h, resolution, color space, embedded color profile,…2 votes -
File and Folder IDs as windows Metadata
Hello, I would like for the Box IDs for files and folders to be saved in their metadata. This way, I can integrate our Box with our other services, while maintaining security access to box and allowing users to click on dynaically produced hyperlinks. I cannot use a windows Path, as I do not know the users permission levels from the top level to the file to be accessed.
Our applications do not have access to the Box OAUTH2 API for security reasons and because VBA is very old.2 votes -

Ability to set metadata editing permissions
Currently, metadata can be edited using anything other than the viewer or previewer.
I would like to see a feature added that allows only administrator privileges to edit metadata, while other privileges can only view metadata (but cannot edit it).メタデータの編集権限を設定可とする機能の要望
メタデータについて、現在はビューワー、プレビューアー以外であれば編集可能ですが、管理者権限でのみメタデータの編集を可能とし、その他の権限ではメタデータの表示のみ可能（編集不可）とするような機能の追加を要望します。

Increase Metadata query scale limits
Increase the character, results, and other scale limits for metadata and metadata query search APIs. The documentation indicates additional volumes of data and is inconsistent. In order to provide solutions similar to legacy ECM, metadata query should be able to return additional results sets.

Regarding the display format of metadata reports
Is it not possible to set the output format arbitrarily when generating reports from metadata, rather than being limited to JSON format?
I would also like to have commas inserted into numeric fields of metadata to format them with thousands separators.(in Japanese)

Option to overwrite metadata values when moving file
We would like the option for a metadata attribute to be overwritten automatically when moved to a folder with cascading metadata enabled for the same metadata template.
Here's our use case:
Some of our organization content currently sits in user folders. People accessing that content have no way of knowing where it sits, and therefore can't take action to move it to the desired location. Applying a metadata template indicating if content sits within a user or an organizational folder would be a great way to make this visible to users. With the current behavior, we can't do that, as…2 votes -
Request to improve metadata_query limitation
Metadata queries Limitations
https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/limitations/When sending a metadata query request for which the result set exceeds 2,000 items, the API can only guarantee that it returns all all matching results if both the following conditions are met.
1.The requesting user has at least Previewer permission to all items in the result set
2.The ancestor folder contains all of the files in the result setWith the above limitation, it is not possible to narrow down the search to metadata for a specific folder when the range of metadata assigned is wide.
Could it be improved so that the number of…2 votes -
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…2 votes -

Metadata: enable functionality where users must provide a reason for changing a metadata value on highly protected content
Metadata: enable functionality where users must provide a reason (e.g. a comment) for changing a metadata value on highly protected content.
Possibly, we offer the option to configure Box Shield Classification Tags for this. E.g. The tag could say "metadata changes require justification."

Allow AppUser in developer sandbox to use API to invite groups to folders in production.

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
