Hello, I would like to remove an option from a java classification. I use the following code: List<MetadataTemplate.FieldOperation> updates = new ArrayList<>(); delete.setOp(Operation.removeEnumOption); delete.setFieldKey(“Box__Security__Classification__Key”); delete.setEnumOptionKey(option.getKey()); updates.add(delete); return MetadataTemplate.updateMetadataTemplate(boxAPI.getAPI(), boxAPI.getScope(),Metadata.CLASSIFICATION_TEMPLATE_KEY, updates); but I get the following error: The API returned an error code [403 | q5q8oghr0krwv557.0be56fb8d3a04661fa87b95f7aa219311] forbidden - Template operation can’t be performed due to existing policies on the template. thank you in advance for your help

For our use-case, we have a shared link from our tenant and we’d like to find out some basic information about it: file id, owner id, etc. Currently, we can pull that information if we already know the user but we receive a 404 error when we try to access it with an admin account. Would it be possible to add that functionality? We’re currently using this method: BoxItem.Info itemInfo = BoxItem.getSharedItem(api, sharedLink, );

I am currently using a Box trial account and have connected the API to another application. However, the connection only works for about 1 hour before being lost. I would like to ask if this is the way Box’s algorithm works or a limitation of the trial account. Thank you for your help.

I am integrating Box with Bubble.io , I have created a free personal account in Box. I created an app and used the JWT from Bubble to create an key. Since I could not find an enterprsie ID, I deleted the app and started again. I then created a new app and when I use the same JWT from Bubble., I get error message “Public key already in use. Please add a unique key.” Unfortunately its not possible to generate a new JWT form Bubble. Please advise : How to get an enterprise ID (is it restricted on personal plans?) How to resolve the error "Public key already in use. Please add a unique key". Best Regards

Hi, I’m able to get the mini-box-mediaInfo-video-metadata uploader to function and fill in metadata fields on images in my Box folder. Unfortunately, the type of metadata that it recognizes for image files isn’t complete. It doesn’t seem to capture metadata fields such as: Tags, Date taken, or any of the Camera specific metadata fields (among others). Is there a way to remedy this? Thank you!
