Notification on task assignment not supported in API
Currently there is no option to send a user an email notification when they are assigned a task via API. This is an unexpected gap, as an email will be sent when the task is assigned manually in the UI, and there are few indications that the same will not be true for programmatically assigned tasks.

Turn task status to approved in individual task center for the person who approved in multi approval task
When someone send a task to approve to a list of approvers, each recipient is notified and the task appears in the task center with an on going status and still until the whole approvers cconfirm. Suddenly someone who receives a lot of spots loses visibility and time to find only those he has not yet approved. It might be great that when this task is appoved by one it disappears when this last search for task to approved and appears in task approved.

New File Request Submit Button moved to top or fit within viewport
New File Request Template moves the submit button out of the viewport. Users will upload the file without scrolling down to fully 'submit' the file. Can we move the submit button to top of page, or make that preview page smaller to fit within viewport? See Customer comment below:
"The thing about this template is that the CTA to submit is buried in the footer and outside the user's viewport on a laptop. I’ve seen with surveys when the CTA is not in the viewport, a portion of users miss it and never actually submit. And, there is no feedback…

Request Content Box Task Type
Upload Content action needs to be optional, not required.My pretty hacky workaround now is for them to create a BoxNote or word doc that says "no content required" and link to that as the upload content step for now.

Approve own task
Users have the ability to assign themselves an approval task and approve. This has been flagged up by our audit team as a control issue. Is there any way this can be prevented?

I want to be able to select an area of the file (like comment or annotate) when I assign a task.
When I assign a task, it's not always clear what part of the file I am referring it. I would like to be able to (optionally) select a portion of the file and then assign a task to it.

Tasks are visually cluttered by the bolded, capitalized document names. The task should be bolded and capitalized, not the document.
The document from which the task arises is bolded and in all caps while the task itself is in normal, non-bolded font. This should be flip-flopped so the eye is drawn to the task, not the document.

Rejections on an approval task
I want everyone who was assigned an approval task to still be able to record their decision after someone rejects the document. Right now as soon as one person rejects, the approval box is grayed out for everyone remaining and the task notification for those people is removed. Even though box sends out an email as well, most of my team only relies on the box notification center out of convenience.

The message field for tasks will have suggestion functions and canned phrase input.
The message field for tasks will have suggestion functions and canned phrase input.
The information you need to fill out is basically the same, so it's a hassle to have to enter it every time.
I'd like a feature that automatically suggests the most recently used message content in the form of options and allows me to save it as a standard phrase.タスクのメッセージ欄についてサジェスト機能や、定型文入力が欲しい
記入する内容は基本的に同じ内容のものが多いため、都度入力するのは手間になっています。

When opening and zooming in on an Excel document saved in the Box app, the document closes frequently, making it difficult to use.
I am using the Box app through my iPhone.
There is one problem... It's serious for me personally (to the point where I gave up on the box app...)
Open the Box app on your iPhone and open the Excel file saved inside.
First, move your finger up, down, left, and right to view the material.
However, since the screen is too small, I zoom in to view the document.
To zoom in on a document, use two fingers or the fingers of both hands to zoom in or out.
This is where the problem arises. When you zoom in…1 vote -
Setting a Due Date for Tasks
I noticed that when assigning a due date to a task, the person does not receive the task on the actual due date. They receive a reminder email the day before and then an overdue email on the day after. However, there is nothing they get on the actual due date so it would be nice to have the task sent to the person on the actual due date.

Anonymous
We need a completely anonymous comment feature.
Current anonymous comments have the flaw that the comment poster can be found via the mentions feature.1 vote -
Assigning tasks without previewing file
When assigning a general or approval task, we must open the file itself and then add the tasks.
There should be an option to just right click the file (on box.com) and have the ability to assign general/approval tasks from there instead of having to open each file.

Update Rejected naming in the notifications
Please stop writing "rejected" in the notification that comes back when the created approval task is rejected. I would like to see more options, such as "send back".

Select multiple properties in files, and create interface like Spotify / Apple Music
Hi Box support and community,
France suggested I suggest here for the following ideas.Is there a way to make a selection of MP3 files all the same properties, ie. all end the same date, etc. ?
Also, After making MP3 files, Can Box make a layout of music files like Spotify or Apple music ? I am working on placing my music on a WordPress site and want it to look similar and nice looking, since I already have those two services on the same webpage. (I hope so).
These are the suggestions. I have these options through DistroKid,…

Assign tasks through email address or user name
Recommend reaching parody with the block that you put names into for a task assignment and the block you put names into for folder shares. Right now, for folder shares you can put a list of email addresses and it processes them to the appropriate people. For tasks, you need to enter each person by their username one by one.

provide a way to auto-check the 'Only one assignee is required to complete this task' checkbox
This is when you are adding approval tasks to a document. If you forget to check this, it can lead to everyone in a group having to go in and approve the document before it can be completed.
