We want to use "YYYY MM DD" format for Box Relay date variables
When entering dates as variables in Box Relay, it is inconvenient that the only formats available are "MM YYYY" or "MM DD YYYY".
We would like to be able to enter the date in the "YYYY MM DD" format.Box Relayの日付変数の形式に「YYYY MM DD」を使いたい
Box Relayで日付を変数で入力する際に、「MM YYYY」や「MM DD YYYY」のなどの形式しかないのは不便です。「YYYY MM DD」の形式でも入力できるようにしてほしい。

We want BoxRelay to work with the privileges of the user who actually started the workflow, not the user who created the workflow.
In the current specification, workflows in BoxRelay operate under the authority of the user who created the flow, not the user who executed the flow.
This causes confusion because there is a discrepancy with the actual operation performed. We would like to improve this so that Relay can correctly confirm who started the flow.【日本語】
BoxRelayについて、ワークフローを作成したユーザーではなく、実際にフローを開始したユーザーの権限で動作させたい現在の仕様では、BoxRelayのワークフローは、フローを実行したユーザー本人ではなく、フローを作成したユーザーの権限で動作するようになっています。
これでは実際に行われた操作と齟齬があり混乱を招くため、フローを開始した人が誰なのか、Relay側で正しく確認できるよう改善を希望します。12 votes -
Create Folder From Relay Folder Navigation View
In order to create a Relay Workflow the folder structure has to already be in place. This is not always the case. It would be helpful to be able to create a folder from the Relay Folder Navigation view.
For example: if I am creating a File Request flow, I navigate to Relay, start a new workflow, select my File Request trigger, and I want my first outcome to move the file to a folder.
If that folder hasn't been created I need to cancel or navigate away from Relay back to my All Files, create the folder, go back…

We want to make it easier to change the owner of a workflow in Box Relay.
In Japan, organizational changes and personnel transfers occur frequently, which necessitates changing the owner of workflows in Box Relay.
Currently, to change the owner, users have to transfer the workflow to another user and disable the original workflow.This process is not intuitive and is cumbersome for users. Additionally, there are too many steps involved. As a result, even though Relay is a good feature, it feels difficult to use and does not gain user adoption.
We would like to see improvements that allow for a one-click transfer of ownership.
For example, adding an option to change the owner in…4 votes -
Using variables in Box Relay messages
When sending messages using the Box Relay feature, it would be more convenient if variables could be used within the message.
For example, if you use the name of the file that triggered the flow as a variable and send a message saying "Approval of the submitted file named <variable> has been completed," it will be clear which workflow has completed.8 votes -
Relay Trigger "copy out" &"move out"
In Box Relay, the triggers for “copy” and “move” are recognized as “when a file is copied to this folder” and “when a file is moved to this folder.” Can we create triggers such as “when a file leaves this folder” or "when a file in this folder is copied somewhere else"? In other words, I would like there to be a function that allows us to detect when a file has been copied out to an external folder. I hope this feature will be considered.

Request Signature outcome should have Form Submitter variable
When creating a workflow like the one in the following article, the Request Signature outcome cannot use the form submitter as a signer
Some of our workflows start with a form, use Box Doc Gen to generate a document, which then needs to be signed by the original form submitter. While the Request Signature step can access form variables, it notably does not have access to the Form Submitter.
It would be great if this was exposed as a variable so that the sign request could have the submitter as a signer.
Our current workaround is to add a…

Box Relay Send Notification Outcome Tied to a File
The current "Send Notification" outcome is only capable of sending general notification according to the message set at Box Relay. Can we also tie it with a file similar to the "Assign Task" outcome? Thank you.

Inline comments as Trigger in BOX relay workflow
Currently there is no BOX Relay template to start the workflow with Inline comments as File event. It would be great if there is a template for it or if there is an Inline comment option as File Event in BOX Relay workflow.

Time added to file names moved by Box Relay
When moving a Box Sign file in Relay, if the same file is in the folder, the file will be saved with an additional date and time.
The time added is PST, so if you use it in a country with a time difference from PST, it will be a different time, so it is confusing because it is not clear when it was created.
To avoid confusion, change this time to the time zone of the Relay owner.1 vote -
If the owner of a Box Relay workflow is a “Deleted User”, there needs to be a way to transfer the owner to an administrator.
After creating a workflow in Box Relay, there are cases where the owner of the workflow is deleted by a script, etc., but the owner remains as a “Deleted User”.
Need the ability to take over the workflow of a Box Relay that has become a “deleted user” to an administrator or other user.
Reason：
This is because the workflow creator still has the owner rights, and even the system administrator cannot delete the workflow, so it remains as trash.

In-platform simple shared calendar feature has been requested for years. Kindly let us know if it is, in fact, off the table.
Users have been asking for this simple feature for years. Box has been ignoring this request for years.
I would like to see some accountability to users.
What is the protocol for communicating user requests up the chain?
Has this common, years-long user request been reviewed by box's leadership yet?
If not, please provide a date when it will be reviewed.
If so, please advise as to what the outcome of that discussion was. i.e., has the request been dismissed permanently?Will Box leadership please communicate this clearly to the user community?

About Updating Assignee (s) Set to Workflow
Please improve so that when a user account is deleted by an administrator, it is also automatically deleted from the Assignee(s) in the workflow.
This is because a deleted user remaining in the workflow Assignee (s) can cause the workflow to stop and cause unintended actions.
Improvements are needed to ensure that the user's work is not interrupted.- in Japanese
管理者によってユーザーアカウントが削除された際、
連動してワークフローの担当者からも自動的に削除されるように改善をお願いいたします。BoxRelayのワークフローに設定される担当者に削除済のユーザーが残っていることでワークフローが停止されたり意図しない動作が発生する可能性があるためです。
