Enable True/False Metadata Mapping for Checkboxes and Radio Buttons in Box Forms
Description:
Today in Box Forms, checkbox and radio button inputs are not natively mapped to Boolean metadata fields (true/false or yes/no), which limits the ability to trigger workflows or create metadata-driven views based on user responses.Feature Request:
Allow checkboxes and radio buttons in Box Forms to map directly to Boolean metadata fields:If a checkbox is checked, metadata should reflect “true”; if unchecked, “false.”
For yes/no radio button questions, allow mapping directly to true/false metadata fields.
Impact & Value:
Streamlines workflow automation with Box Relay (e.g., trigger based on form input).
Enables metadata-driven views (e.g., show only records where…

Regarding the time it takes for scheduled reports to be generated
Content: The Box support site mentions that report generation can take up to 12 hours.
Most reports are usually generated within a few minutes to a few tens of minutes, but scheduled reports often take about 12 hours to be output.
Although it is within the expected range, waiting half a day for the output affects business operations, so we request a functional improvement to shorten the time it takes for reports to be generated.(日本語)
件名：スケジュールされたレポートが出力されるまでの時間について
内容：Boxサポートサイトにレポートの生成には最大で12時間かかる場合があると記載されております。
ほどんどのレポートは数分から数十分程で出力されることが多いですが、スケジュールされたレポートの場合出力されるまでに12時間程かかることがとても多いです。
範囲内ですが、出力までに半日かかるのは業務に影響がある為、レポート出力されるまでの時間帯を短縮されるよう機能改善要望をします。29 votes -
Enhance Metadata Input Fields in Box Forms (Multi-line Support & Character Limit)
[Background and Problem]
A customer is looking to migrate their FAQ management system from Microsoft Lists to Box. Their plan is to store the FAQ answers as metadata. However, we have received feedback that this is impractical because the metadata input field in Box Forms is restricted to a single line, making it difficult to enter long answers.Below are our feature improvement requests.
Multi-line Input Support
We request the ability to either adjust the height of the text input field for metadata, or to select the same format as the "Long Text" field for metadata fields.Increased Character Limit…

User dropdown for Box Forms
In Box Forms it would be very convenient to have a User dropdown field.
Many of our workflows have a user fill out a form, which is then rendered into a document and sent for approval - and often, approvers are not static (e.g. their manager).
It would be very convenient if they could select another Box user with a similar experience to the collaboration dialog, or when you're adding to a Box Sign - a few characters from their name or email will show matching users. This field would then expose both the user's name and their email as…

Disposition Report should be able to show files that were deleted in the past
It's important for GxP compliance and ease of auditing to know what files were disposed of in the past, or during a specific period, like in the last 30 days, last 6 months, etc.
Disposition report should be able to show previous deletions, not just upcoming deletions, and admins should be able to filter by retention policy, and date.

Do not send notifications to group members when inviting a group to Hubs, as is the case when inviting a group to a folder.
Currently, when you invite a group to Box Hubs, all group members receive a notification.
However, if there are many group members, if all group members receive the email, it may violate some rules of Exchange Online.
Therefore, I would like to see an improvement so that notifications are not sent to group members when inviting a group to Hubs, as is the case when inviting a group to a folder.

＜フォルダへのグループ招待時のようにHubsへのグループ招待時もグループメンバーへの通知を送信しない＞
現在Box Hubsでグループを招待すると、グループメンバー全員に通知が届きます。
しかし、グループメンバーが多い場合、グループメンバー全員がメールを受信すると、受信するExchange Onlineの何らかのルールに抵触する可能性があります。
そのため、フォルダへのグループ招待時のように、Hubsへのグループ招待時もグループメンバーへの通知が送信されないように改善してほしいです。24 votesThank you for your request. We will take it into account but this feature is not planned yet. We may get back to it in the future.

Need to be able to circle options
We have many documents that require a selection to be made, rating service, etc. the text field, check box and radio options are not the best solution for our needs. I chatted with Emma at BOX support and she mentioned adding it here. Is there a way that we can have an additional feature added where, if someone was going to rate on a scale of 0-5, they could circle the option w/o having to download and manually act on the request?

Administrators to be able to monitor when a BOX sign is sent
BOX signを例えば外部などに送信した際に、適正なルートを通った正しい署名依頼であるか確認や未然に防止する方法を実装してほしいです。
Relayと組み合わせれば可能なことはわかっておりますが、全契約など署名が必要なものに対しRelayとの組み合わせを作成することは、現実的ではなく、下記ような管理者に通知する機能を要望します。
BOX signを送信した際に管理者(例えば契約管理担当)に自動で通知できれば、
社内決済が終わっているのか、契約内容は正しいのかなどを確認することが可能だと考えております。ご確認、ご検討をお願いします。
EN translation:
When a BOX sign is sent, for example to an external party, we would like a method implemented to verify that it is a legitimate signature request that has gone through the proper route, and to prevent such misuse.We understand that this is possible when combined with Relay, but creating a combination with Relay for all contracts and other documents requiring signatures is not practical. Therefore, we request a function to notify administrators as described below.
If administrators (e.g., contract managers) are automatically notified when a BOX sign is sent,…

Custom ready-sign link landing page
We use Ready-Sign Links for an Education Assistance program. It would be very helpful if we could customize the landing page when we create the template:
- Colors
- Logo
- Text to introduce what’s it aboutThe benefit is that if we could do this when creating the RSL Template, we would not need to coordinate with our IT/website owners on adapting or creating a new page where this link lives. Even simple branding items like this enhance our end users' experience and reduce confusion or hesitation.

Add Signature field to Box Forms
It would be helpful to be able to include a signature field for a Box form submission. In cases where a user submits a purchase request form, we'd like to also show that they have signed/approved the information being passed (which is something we currently do when a user fills out the form and signs before submission to the procurement team). Being able to include a signature field in the form would save users multiple steps and closely approximate the experience of filling out a form and signing it.

Open read-only in BoxDrive
Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?-in Japanese-
ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。31 votesBox Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.
Here are a few possible workarounds:
- Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
- Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
- Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).

Masking Sensitive Fields in a Box Form
Posting a customer feature request:
Box to mask the field while the person is filling out the Box form. (i.e. Right after the SSN field is inputted, the Form field automatically gets masked).
Also requesting to have the fields masked in viewing a form submission within Box.
Ideally when building out the form, we can have a checklist next to the field indicating "mask for sensitivity" or something like that.

Form dropdown - Show big list of Values from Excel
How to manage long list of Items like Asset Number or Functional location Number into Form Drop Down?
If Drop Down functionality on the form can take Excel as Source then that can solve this issue and letting user search/filter from Drop Down to select Single/Multiple entries.

Addition of Hong Kong Region
Some customers expanding their business in China or neighboring regions require a local data center for operational and compliance reasons. Adding a Hong Kong region would potentially broaden both customer usage and our proposal opportunities in these markets.

Add Section Divider Lines and Blank Fields for Cleaner Forms
I would recommend adding divider lines to allow cleaner grouping or sectioning of fields in a form. It would also be helpful to have "blank" field for better organizing when adding fields in two columns but the number of fields for a particular topic is an odd number. Having a blank filler field would allow starting the next topic on the next row rather than beside a field that isn't related. This would make the form look cleaner and be easier for end-users to follow.
2 votesWe've released the static text field that should resolve the blank field request and we've decided to prioritize multi page forms which could serve as a workaround for Divider lines.
