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。

Display of account name when approval task or Box Relay creator user is deleted
After an account is deleted, the user who created an approval task is displayed as "Previous Collaborator," making it impossible to verify the approval status at that time. Please change this so that the username from that time continues to be displayed even after the account is deleted.

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

I want to reuse the content entered in File Request as a task message
We are running tasks in a Relay workflow, triggered by uploads via File Request.
In Box’s current specifications, the “file description” entered by users in the File Request form is saved in the file’s description field in its properties after upload.
However, when the Relay workflow starts, the message sent to the task assignee is the one configured in Relay. This message is recorded under the file’s “Activity,” but we also need to check the description field in the file properties, which means switching views and creates extra work.
If there were a feature that allowed us to set the…

Export Relay Workflows as a JSON file, and use JSON file for updating workflows
Some customers have a large number of Relay Workflows that can be cumbersome to edit or update if changes to internal processes are made that affect a large number of flows. Having the option to download the JSON and edit that file, then reupload the JSON can allow them an easier way to make changes to existing workflows with bulk edits.

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

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.
We request a feature in the Admin…3 votes -
Allow Forms driven dynamic destination folder in Relay Folder Action
In Box Relay, the Folder Create outcome requires selecting a fixed destination folder. While Forms data can be used for folder naming, it cannot be used to dynamically set the parent folder (for example, from a submitted Folder ID field).
Allow Relay to set “Where should the folder be created?” using a variable/token from trigger data (e.g., Box Forms field), including support for folder ID and optionally folder path.
This limitation forces teams to build custom middleware/services just to translate form input into folder creation logic. Native support would remove extra engineering overhead and enable fully no-code workflows for common…

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 -
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…17 votes -
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.

from Box Folder (Filtered) View - Start Box Relay
Most of solutions would need filtered data for example, to track the status of any document or request, one would need Status field to track the progress and showing user a filtered view is necessary. From same view, if relay can be initiated would be highly appreciated.

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 -
Add New Trigger under Signing Events for "Reassign Request"
There are times when our users would like a recipient, who is not part of the signing chain, added as a CC if a document is reassigned to a different signer. It would be nice to have a new trigger option under Relay/Workflow /Signing Events for "Reassign Request" where, if a document is reassigned, we could add an Outcome that would Send a Notification to a particular acct.

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 -
Request to automate shared link generation upon file upload
A customer regularly uploads files into multiple folders (with different locations and hierarchy levels) and then has to generate a shared link for each file. Currently, they need to create each link manually, which is quite time-consuming.
It would be very helpful if features such as Relay could automate this process by automatically generating shared links for uploaded files and sending notifications with created links

Display by name, Alphabetical as a Default. Necessary for our business!
It is 100% Necessary for our file Storage and Sharing needs for files to show up alphabetically BY DEFAULT. We just transferred over from Dropbox, and this is really annoying and a waste of time to have to set viewing each time we log in, and when we share files to have to explain to customers how to set their display. Display by name alphabetical should not only be an option, but a Default. Please make this available immediately. Our business model and client sharing workflow success depends on this. Thank you for implementing right away

Share multiple files at once
Currently, you can only share one folder/file at a time. Not a smooth process.

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。

Enable the selection of permissions when "Specify when started" is chosen in Relay task assignment
When creating a workflow that is started manually in Relay, if you select [Assign a Task] as the result and turn on [Specify when started], the default permission for inviting assignees is fixed to Viewer.
Changing the permission to invite the person in charge to an editor every time when starting manually is cumbersome, so I would like the option to select editors as the default when creating a Relay.-in Japanese-
手動で開始するワークフローをRelayで作成するとき、結果で[タスクの割り当て]を選択し[開始時に指定する]をオンにすると担当者を招待する権限のデフォルトがビューアーで固定されてしまいます。手動で開始するときに、都度担当者を招待する権限を編集者に変更するのは手間なので、Relayを作成するときに編集者をデフォルトとして選択できるようにしてほしい。1 vote
