Proposed JSON Support in Box CLI for Simplified Task Configuration

[Mki-developer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We are using the Box CLI as part of our CI/CD pipeline and have encountered a critical limitation that is affecting our workflow: Core Issue: ・The Box CLI can only handle one profile at a time on a single machine, and CLI environments can only be configured on a per-machine login user basis. This core issue leads to a specific problem: ・Inability to Run Concurrent Jobs: Due to this limitation, it's currently unfeasible to run two Box access jobs at the same time while managing their respective environments (from adding to deleting).

Describe the solution you'd like

・Simplify Task Setup: To address this challenge, we would greatly benefit from the ability to specify configurations using a JSON file as an argument, similar to what we can do with the Python SDK. The limitation significantly complicates our CI/CD processes. We would greatly appreciate it if this issue and the corresponding improvement could be addressed in future updates.

Thank you for agreeing to respond to the request. About a month has passed since our last communication, have you decided when you will be able to handle it?

Best regards,

Hi @Mki-developer,

We've added it to our backlog, but we don't have it scheduled in our planned roadmap, which means we won't be able to implement it in the near future. We will inform you as soon as this changes.

Best,
