Add uploader role to box relay auto-start workflows
When you auto-start based on someone uploading or saving to a directory, that workflow should take into account the person who did that - the uploader role. For instance, in a workflow that has a gather feedback and incorporate step, that should be automatically assigned to the uploader not the workflow owner. In general the workflow owner is not a very useful role - it's just the person who happened to write the template - the workflow owner may have no stake in the workflow instances whatsoever. The uploader is a natural role that is missing.
We released the ability to assign any task to the “workflow starter”, the person who performed the file action.

I would like to see this as well in the Box Relay feature or the automation feature in the admin portal. There is no way to say “assign task to uploader”. You need to assign the task to a static email address. It would be nice if it knew the uploader and assigned the task to the user instead. It seems there is a way to do this with the API but it would be nice to not have to use the API and have this a part of the feature.
