Ability to disable task
Ability to disable task if “disable commenting for this folder’is enabled on folder settings.
Previously, user can disable not only comments but also tasks However, currently not after releasing new “comments and tasks” feature https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Product-Updates/Tasks-Update-Require-One-vs-All-Task-Completion-Rule/idi-p/7484210 votes -
To retain Tasks even after "task-related user" is permanently deleted
Currently, if a user is deleted, all of his/her related tasks will be deleted after the user is permanently deleted. Although task activities like approval and completion are recored in the admin reporting, it is not user-friendly and is unintuitive.

Show all uncompleted tasks on iPad
Currently you can only check up to 20 tasks in the Box iPad app.
However, when you are high up in the company, there are many tasks sent to you throughout the day and cannot see all the uncompleted tasks inside iPad.It would be great if you can increase the numbers of tasks shown or show all the uncompleted tasks on iPad too.

Dynamic approving
Customer has a workflow which requires 2 out of 3 stakeholders to approve a document before it progresses. Asking the product team to provide dynamic approval so, for example, when one stakeholder approves a document, the the workflow progresses to require one of the remaining assignees to approve the document.

relay in progress view showing too many tasks
Box lacks a dedicated way to see what tasks require my immediate attention.
Tasks "in progress" show all tasks I haven't worked on, plus all tasks that my (former) colleagues have not yet finished. As we have some group tasks that not all colleagues respond to, the list of tasks is getting very long and makes it very hard for me to organise my work.
A dedicated view "my open tasks", holding only the tasks that require an action for me, would greatly help.

Add a setting to prevent the "Add Task" from being displayed.
When we preview the file, on the right side of the screen, in the Activity column, we will see "Add Task".
However, there are times when we don't want our users to use the task feature.
Please add a setting to prevent the "Add Task" from being displayed.
For example, it would be nice if we could disable the task function in the folder settings.ファイルをプレビューした際、画面右側、アクティビティのカラムに「タスクの追加」とあります。
しかし、タスク機能をユーザーに利用させたくないことがあります。
「タスクの追加」を表示しないようにする設定を追加してください。
たとえば、フォルダの設定でタスク機能を無効にするなどできると嬉しいです。6 votes -

Thanks for the suggestion! We currently do not have plans to integrate tasks with calendar applications. Please continue to submit your use cases here, as we may revisit in a future planning cycle based on customer demand.

When multiple people are selected for an approval task, you can select the approval order.
When multiple people are selected for an approval task, you can select the approval order.
The task function is often used for document approval work, and there is a need to be able to set up a flow all at once so that documents are presented in order of higher rank, such as group manager > department manager > division manager, etc.
Because an approval task needs to be set up each time something is approved, it takes time for approval to reach the person in charge if approval is not noticed quickly, resulting in reduced work efficiency.承認タスクで複数人を選択した場合、承認順を選択できるようにしたい
タスク機能を資料の承認作業に使うことが多く、グループ長＞課長＞部長等役職の役職の高い人へ順に上程されるようなフローを一度に設定できるようにしたいというニーズがあります。…

Improve to view the status of tasks
As users are currently able to view by icons whether or not shared link is on files and files are locked at a glance in the "file list" view, we would like to view if tasks are done or not at a glance

Customize frequency of task email notifications
Currently there are 3 emails when assigning a task.
-First email is when the task is assigned
-Second email is a reminder that the task is due (one day before)
-Third email is a reminder that the task is past due (one day after)I'd like to have the ability in the admin console to customize the frequency of these notifications. For example, I would like to send a reminder twice before the task is due (two days and one day before). Additionally, once the task is past due, send a reminder email every X amount of days until the…

Approval Task Message box
When creating an Approval Task, the message box could be bigger. When typing a comment that is more than one line and you want to review the message in it's in entirety, you have to use the up/down arrows . Make the message box either 4", or allow that box to be made larger from a corner (drag it bigger)

Enhance Task Management for High-Volume Users
My team relies heavily on Box tasks, and we’ve found that the current functionality lacks robust filtering and sorting options. Beyond the basic status categories—In Progress, Completed, Approved, or Rejected—there are no meaningful ways to organize or prioritize tasks. This becomes especially challenging when managing a high volume of tasks. For example, our HR teammate regularly handles 50 to 100 active tasks at a time, and navigating them efficiently in Box can be clunky and time-consuming. It appears the task feature was not designed for this scale of use. I recommend enhancing the filtering, sorting, and organizational capabilities to better…

Give Box Relay more options
Relay is weak at the moment when it comes to renaming files with very few variables supported when compared to rival storage apps.
Adding the ability to do character replacement/removal in the filenames of assets or even using regex would greatly enhance the automation offered by Box and reduce the reliance on third party apps to rename files.

Notification that someone you assigned a Task did not complete it by the deadline you set
Often I assign Tasks with deadlines. While the person receiving the task gets notifications that the deadline is approaching, I do not get a notification if they did not complete the Task on time.
This would be extremely helpful to know that Tasks have not been completed so we can follow up.4 votes -
Box Task Center notification pop-up
Popup assigned tasks when users visit "All Files" page. Currently Box Task Center shows only number. To make it possible for a user to surely notice, popup is better.
