2. Enable Metadata Cascading when using the Add Metadata outcome

   Description

   Allow users to enable metadata cascading when applying the Add Metadata outcome to a folder. This should be a user-selectable option in the workflow builder (for example, a simple "Enable metadata cascading" checkbox for this outcome).

   Business Value

   Many document-centric processes follow the same pattern:

   • A user submits a request through a form.
   • A workflow automatically creates a dedicated folder for that request.
   • Documents related to the request are uploaded into that folder over time by multiple users.

   While workflows can already create the folder and assign metadata to it, there is currently no way to enable metadata cascading as part of the Add Metadata outcome. As a result, newly uploaded files do not inherit the folder metadata automatically.

   This creates additional manual work and prevents organizations from leveraging metadata-driven experiences, like Box Apps.

   When configuring the Add Metadata outcome for a folder, users should have the option to enable metadata cascadin (and set the overwrite policy).

   If selected, in addition to adding the metadatas to the folder, the metadata cascade option should also be set (https://developer.box.com/reference/post-metadata-cascade-policies) :

   The metadata template and values applied to the folder will automatically cascade to files within that folder according to the metadata cascading behavior.
   Newly added content should inherit the appropriate metadata without requiring additional workflows or manual intervention.

3. Color annotations available when Offline on Mobile

   For use of Box document management functionality on mobile and tablet, we would like Box mobile to provide offline functionality, IE when the device goes offline, we would like a user to have the following capability
   - be able to view the document offline INCLUDING all the annotations that existed on it.
   
   - be able to create more annotations on the document WHILE offline
   - those annotations merged back to the online version when the device comes back online.

   Use Case: For field engineers that work in shifts in areas with limited and patchy internet access, they need to access a document (during their shift hours whether internet is availble or not) and all its annotations (notes and comments) from the previous engineer's shift. They also need to make their observations and comments on the document (even if offline), return to their office where the document annotations synch to the online version, for the next shift worker to take over and resume their work.

5. Customizing Sender in Ready Sign Link

   When Box Sign is initiated via Ready Sign Link, the Template Creator currently becomes the Sender of the sign request.

   However, depending on the document or process, we may want the user who initiates the Ready Sign Link to be the Sender. To address this, it would be helpful if the Sender could be customizable when generating the Ready Sign Link (e.g., choose either the Template Creator or the Ready Sign Link Initiator as the Sender).

   As a workaround, we are currently using a Service Account user to create the template, so the Sender appears as something like "ACME Sign Admin."

6. Request improvement so that users who do not have output permission do not display the download button for Content Insight activities

   For users who cannot create a folder in the root folder in a closed environment, pressing the "Download" button on the Content Insights activity will result in the error message "Sorry, the report could not be generated. Please try again." .
   If the download button is displayed, users who do not have the output authority will mistakenly think that they can download the report, and error messages will appear and the number of inquiries to the administrator will increase.
   Therefore, we would like to see improvements.

   ＜出力権限のないユーザーにコンテンツインサイトのアクティビティのダウンロードボタンを表示させないよう改善を希望＞
   クローズド環境でルートフォルダにフォルダを作成できないユーザーの場合、コンテンツインサイトのアクティビティの「ダウンロード」ボタンを押すと、「レポートを生成できませんでした。後でもう一度やり直してください。」というエラーが表示されます。
   ダウンロードボタンが存在することで、出力権限がないユーザーもダウンロードできると勘違いしてしまい、エラーが表示され管理者への問い合わせが増えるため、出力権限がないユーザーにはコンテンツインサイトのアクティビティのダウンロードボタンを表示させないように改善を希望します。

8. Shield classification user permissions

   Request to make classification application settings specific to the classification. Currently, the setting for who can apply/remove a classification is for all classifications, but there are cases where it would be helpful that a classification to be only applied by owners and other where co-owner, or even editor would be allowed to apply certain classifications.

   Examples:
   1. A classification tied to a Shield access control rule that only owners can apply or remove
   2. A classification tied to a Shield access control rule that owner/co-owners can apply or remove
   3. A classification identifying a type of content that owners/co-owner/editors can apply/remove

   Currently there is one setting button that affects all classification. This proposal is for a setting option for each classification.

9. Box for Office - Access to Collections

   Now that we can organise our files in Box using Collections, it would be good to be able to access this functionality in the Office Apps. This is 'mainly' relevant to the Outlook Box add-in that comes as part of Box for Office for when you want to save to Box or insert from Box.
   Excel/Word/PowerPoint - I would argue that the best experience is opening from Edge/Chrome using Box Edit.

10. Get documents into and out of Box Notes from other formats

    My organization likes Box Notes for their online-collaboration support. But when we have existing documents, we can't get them into a Box Note. And if we want to get them out, we can't do that either.

    Add import and export support to Box Notes. I'd be delighted with Markdown, but my organization can work with just about any open format. Or publish your own proprietary format. XML or JSON, we don't care! Just make it possible to get documents into and out of Box Notes.

    Hi! We are looking into this feature and will let you know on our next steps.

11. Get a list of all collaborators for a box folder

    I want to get a CSV file with all collaborators for a box folder. The fields should be the same as on the Collaborators page. This needs to be available for end users - not just for box administrators. I need this so I can copy the internet IDs from one folder and add them as collaborators on a different folder. Doing this single name at a time is not practical.

13. Increase the maximum number of Shield Classifications beyond 25 so that we can classify each clients content to prevent mis-sharing

    I would like to see the ability to add Shield Classifications per client - with the appropriate access policy (restricting to client email domain) we could avoid any possibility to overshare when inviting the wrong clients into a folder or sharing a shared link - There is a maximum number of classifications of 25 so could this be extended to facilitate this use case/control.

    We will have a different solution to address the use case.

14. Cascading Metadata - applying policy should stay in affect so future value updates cascade without force.

    Metadata cascade policy should stay in effect and push future value changes down (as per policy) - until the policy is removed.

    Futher only the value(s) updated should be pushed down, not the full set of metadata values..

15. API endpoint to return ALL objects (recursively) but simplified to create browser tree

    I am using the jstree library in my application to create a full browser tree of a user's BOX resources. Please create an endpoint to return ALL objects (recursive) available to an authenticated user inside one root folder . These objects would only require the object ID, TYPE, NAME, VERSION and PARENT(parent-id as string instead of parent object). The jstree lib can take this data and create an entire file browsing tree and then users would call up more information when they click on an object. This would greatly reduce the number of API calls to your server and possibly reduce memory usage on your end. My application needs to create this full browser tree anyway to check the status of synced folders and this currently requires multiple consecutive API calls.

16. As an admin I like to be able to search on a folder ID in the admin console

    I just had a user with only a path to a folder with an id (https://company.app.box.com/folder/123456789) for example.

    I didn't have access to it, so I was wondering which folder it actually was.

    I couldn't find a way to search for the ID in the admin console, so I could find the real name and owner.

    My suggestion is to have a search field in the admin console where you can put the Folder ID and it returns the full path and owner.

17. Allow reorganization of received collaborated folders

    I would like to request that all users are allowed, as non-folder owners, to place shared folders inside non-shared folders. This allows for better organization for users and therefore an overall better user experience. All other cloud services that I am a part of allow this.

    Example:
    I own the folders "fruit" and "orange." Someone else owns the folder "apple" and shares it with me. Currently, I cannot place the folder "apple" inside of my "fruit" folder. I would like to request this is changed.

    Currently, Box permissions (and as it was explained to me, security) does not allow it. However, my master folder organization is all messed up in this scenario, both because I have to have two folders related to the concept of fruit, and because sometimes instead of naming a folder "apple" a colleague might name it "Sam's apple" and further take apart sense making about how folders are organized.

18. viewer uploader edit file name

    Would like to explore a custom permission level - between Viewer-Uploader and Editor, which would have all of the Viewer-Uploader rights, as well as the ability to "Edit File Name".

    The use case for this is the following - some users upload documents to a folder, but then need to be able to rename the documents. Renaming the documents before upload isn't an option due to specific workflow constraints. Giving Editor permission is not an option as there's been negative experiences with users accidentally moving or deleting customer folders.

    Thanks
