Prevent LFO from occurring due to Box Relay
When running folder actions (copy/move/delete) in Relay workflows, if the source or destination folder contains a large volume of content, that folder may become subject to LFO, causing files to be locked and preventing other users from accessing them.
Therefore, when a user attempts to configure a flow with a folder that could be subject to LFO, we want to prevent unexpected LFO by clearly indicating on the flow creation screen that the workflow cannot be created due to LFO—for example, by displaying an error message or making the folder unselectable.
〈Box RelayによるLFOの発生防止〉
Relayのワークフローでフォルダアクション（コピー／移動／削除）を実行する際、コピー元またはコピー先のフォルダに大量のコンテンツがあると、そのフォルダがLFOの対象となり、ファイルがロックされて他のユーザーがアクセスできなくなる場合があります。そのため、LFOの対象になり得るフォルダをフローに設定しようとした時点で、フロー作成画面でエラーメッセージを表示する、または該当フォルダを選択不可にするなどの対策により、「LFOの影響で当該ワークフローは作成できない」ことを明確にし、想定外のLFO発生を防ぎたいと考えています。

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

Visualizing Template Usage and Deletion within the Tenant
In Box Relay, users can publish the workflows they create as templates, allowing other users within the tenant to use them.
However, when we want to delete templates that haven’t been used within the organization for a long time, we have to ask the original creator to unpublish or delete them, which is cumbersome.
If unnecessary workflows remain, the interface becomes cluttered and administration becomes difficult.These issues can be resolved by surfacing templates that haven’t been used for an extended period within the tenant and allowing administrators to unpublish or delete them.

Improvement of the repeat timing for Box Relay schedule events
When trying to set the repeat timing for a Box Relay schedule event to monthly, currently you can only choose the 1st day or the last day every few months.
The timing of the event's start is not necessarily at the beginning or end of the month, so it is inconvenient to use.
I would like you to add a setting that repeats monthly based on the start date, like the report scheduling feature.-in Japanese-
Box Relayのスケジュールイベントを毎月に設定しようとしたとき、現在は何か月ごとの第１日目もしくは最終日しか選択できません。イベントの開始タイミングは必ずしも月初や月末ではないため使いにくいです。レポートのスケジュール設定のように、開始日を基準に毎月繰り返すような設定を追加してほしい。5 votes -
add decision logic to workflows
Would be great to have decision logic added to relay/workflows. For example I could have a form with a dropdown field with two options - A or B.
The workflow would then have two distinct sets of actions based on Option A or B. Option A Generate a Doc using template A, Option B generate a Doc using Template B

In Box Relay, when an approval task is rejected, I want to be able to select any step.
I would like to create a workflow like the following:
Move (Destination: Awaiting approval 1) -> Approval Task 1 -> Move (Destination: Awaiting approval 2) -> Approval Task 2 -> Move (Destination: Awaiting approval 3) -> Approval Task 3
If Approval Task 3 is rejected, the file would remain in "Awaiting approval 3".
However, I actually want to move it to "Awaiting approval 2".
It is necessary to return to the "Move (Destination: Awaiting approval 2) "step, NOT the "Task" step.■In Japanese
以下のようなワークフローを作りたいです。
ファイル移動（移動先フォルダ：承認中１）→承認１→ファイル移動（移動先フォルダ：承認中２）→承認２→ファイル移動（移動先フォルダ：承認中３）→承認３
承認３で却下された場合、ファイルが「承認中３」に残ったままになってしまいますが、本来は「承認中２」に移動させたいです。
そのため、"タスク"のステップではなく、"ファイル移動（承認中２）"のステップに戻せるようにすることが必要です。3 votes -
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。18 votes -
Copy a folder with its items into another folder using Box Relay
Copy a folder with its items into another folder using Box Relay
Currently, you can select not only the "file that triggered the flow" but also the "folder that triggered the flow."
However, this only copies the folder, not the items contained within it.
To avoid complicating the workflow for a single folder, make sure the folder contents are also copied.Box Relayを使用して、アップロードしたフォルダを別のフォルダ内にアイテムと一緒にコピーしたい
現在は「フローをトリガーしたファイル」だけでなく「フローをトリガーしたフォルダ」が選択可能です。
ただし、あくまでもフォルダのみのコピーとなり、フォルダ内に格納されているアイテムは一緒にコピーされません。
1つのフォルダに対してのワークフローの煩雑化を防ぐために、フォルダの中身も一緒にコピーされるようにしてください。4 votes -
Use of scheduled execution with dynamic values such as file creation date

Set dynamic/arbitrary values for comments in approval tasks/general tasks/notifications
I would like to be able to set dynamic values for comments in approval tasks/general tasks/notifications and arbitrarily set them at the time of assignment.
Example 1: In a workflow that is manually started and assigned an approval task, an arbitrary comment can be set at startup.
Example 2: In a workflow that notifies of new uploads, the file name can be dynamically set in the notification content.【日本語】
承認タスク/一般タスク/通知のコメントに動的な値や割り当て時に任意に設定できるようにしたい。

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…10 votes -
Box Relay auto-populates metadata text field with destination folder name
It would be useful to have a feature where when a file is uploaded, the destination folder name is automatically entered into the metadata text field.
Specifically, when uploading experimental data from an experiment called "A" to Box, if we upload a file to a folder named "A", we would like a system where "A" is automatically entered into the "Experiment content" field of the metadata.
With this function, when searching for metadata "A", only files related to experiment A will be extracted.
It is expected that this will lead to improved business efficiency.For example, if we create a…

Box Relay
Box Relay needs to be able to create a work flow for a parent folder and have it work for all child folders. A user is setting up a simple notification (upload, download) and then sends a notification to a set of users with a message. The user currently has to replicate or create a new Relay for each child folder. Very, very silly to have to waist so much time.

When specifying the folder where an event occurs in a Box Relay workflow, search by folder ID or folder name
I want to search by folder ID when selecting a folder where events occur in the Box Relay workflow
This is because there may be folders with the same name.
When specifying folders in the user activity report, we can search by "folder name" or "folder ID".
For improved usability, BoxRelay workflow should be made to match the same specifications as reports.■Japanese
BoxRelayのワークフローでイベントが発生するフォルダを選ぶときにフォルダIDで検索したいです。
何故ならフォルダには同名のものがある可能性があるからです。
ユーザーアクティビティレポートでフォルダを指定する際、「フォルダ名」または「フォルダID」で検索することができます。

Change the method of designating approvers
I would like to see an Outcome created that allows the specified user to specify the approver of the approval flow before approval, instead of specifying the approver at the start of the flow.

Bulk Approval Feature in Box Relay (Batch Checkbox Approval)
Feature request:
Provide a “Batch Approval” feature in Box Relay.
Ideally, users could select multiple approval items (via checkboxes) and approve them all at once.
This would drastically improve efficiency for teams handling high volumes of approval tasks.Why it matters:
For enterprises dealing with hundreds of daily requests, approving each one individually is impractical.
Competing workflow/approval systems (e.g., Salesforce Approvals, SAP Workflow, Oracle Approvals Management) already provide batch approval capabilities.
Without such a feature, Relay may be less suitable for large-scale enterprise approval use cases.Expected outcome:
Significant reduction in time required for managers to process large numbers of…1 vote
