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…

Add Ability to Duplicate an Existing Box Form
Please add a feature that allows users to duplicate an existing Box Form, including all fields, structure, metadata mappings, and settings. Users should be able to clone a form, rename it, and make edits without rebuilding from scratch.

Reduces errors by ensuring consistent fields, metadata, and logic across related forms.
Enables scalable templates, especially for public sector workflows like procurement, HR, inspections, grants, benefits, and compliance.
Accelerates PS SE and customer builds, allowing faster demos, labs, and solution rollouts.
Supports versioning needs, since agencies routinely…

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…

form submission export
Box forms submissions should be available via export/report to show each submission and it's form responses, as well as info about the submission (who was it by, when, etc.). This would help with tracking specific forms and reflect functionality with similar products.

Box Forms – Add internal-only / scoped access controls for Form links (security & compliance)
Customers need the ability to restrict Box Form links to internal, authenticated users (and ideally specific users/groups), instead of only “anyone with the link.” Current behavior conflicts with stricter security postures and makes Forms hard to adopt for internal project and regulated use cases.
Background / Use Case
Customer is using Box Relay + Box Forms as part of internal project workflows:Workflow trigger: Form submission (Relay)
Outcome: e.g., DocGen or other internal automation
They want to present Forms to internal project teams only and treat them as an internal front end to Box workflows.
Today, the Form sharing model…

Increased Character Limit - Box Forms
Please increase character limit to 1000 for Box Forms long text. We have questions in surveys that we are looking to send out via Box Forms that exceed the current, 100-character limit.

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.

Add Date Field to Box Forms
We would like a date field type with a date picker added to box forms. We are currently using the "Number" field type for dates, but are getting formatting discrepancies. There are times we input information using a form that was from a different day so being able to select the correct day and controlling formatting is important. Thank you.

Tansfer Form Ownership
I would like the ability to transfer forms to other users. Reasons below:
If employees are going on extended leave or parental leave and someone else is in charge of managing these forms.
If initial set up is completed by an admin but then continually managed by another team.
I am told form ownership transferring will be available only on deletion of a user account in a future release but would like it to not be reliant on the deletion of a user.

Add repeatable sections to forms
Would be great to see repeatable sections in the forms.
So for example you have a set of fields related to some entity, and the user can add multiple entries of this entity by hitting to add additional sections with the same fields in it.

Share Box Forms with co-owners
Can you enable the ability to share a Box Form with another user as a co-owner or editor?
For example, if I create a Form, and then leave the company, a co-owner could still use it or make edits.

Add sections with no input needed and pages to Box Forms.
It would be great if Box Forms would include sections where you can have descriptions of what is expected, but without any input required. This would help let users understand expectations and give instructions. It would also be nice to have a next button so if you have a really long form, you don't have to keep scrolling, you can just hit 'next' to next page as you move through form. This would also help with logic where in stead of fields appearing/disapearring, they would just either be included or not included on next page based on previous response.

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.

Create API's for Box Forms to automate field completion.
Create API's for Box Forms so that customers can set them up to have certain fields auto populated. For example, if a user/student is logged into a system and needs to fill out a Form, they want to auto-populate the information that is available via SSO for example. So when user/student opened the form the Name, Email, Departement, etc fields could be auto -populated.

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.
