Unfortunately not but what you can do is first place the box/chest etc. and then create the area that renders the boxes accessible (can take from and leave items in them) by everyone but they cannot destroy them
I am not sure what you are saying? You place the box then create area? I thought areas prevented them from being opened? you have to name each player .. I want to make like a dungeon chest that anybody can open.

I am saying exactly what you understood.
If you place a box and then create the area (i.e. there was NO area when the box was placed) then anyone can take and ofc place things from/in that box.
But noone can destroy the box.

Ok so I place the box then create the area. It opens to everyone that is assigned that area, correct? This means that I have to add everyone to the area not just some new user that logs on? I want a new user that logs on while I am not on my server to get some basic things in the box. Also I want to have random things for them to find in other boxes in areas I create not just the broken houses with boxes that are generated by the game.

As I said you place the box and then create the area. This way EVERY user no matter if they are added to the area or not can take from the box. This is a small bug this script has and you can exploit to make community chests 
(We have them in our server too in the welcome centre)

Ok I have put a sign to tell people to let me know. Thanks
one last question. If I make myself admin in the area will it lock it?
Ok seems owner is a lower class than Admin. If you add owner does that lock the boxes?
I have protection 1.18 and it works great. If I install this will I lose all those areas and have to remap them?
I believe it switches over , save the .DB file and you can always reinstall the other but I think they switch.
I switched over back in September and as I remember it all switched over.

So I can just install it and they both work or do I have to take out the 1.18 one ?

just copy over the new file the old database will be keeped and all old areas are safe and work with area protection 3.0 just don't delete your old database file

but I have to reassign everyone to a group correct or can I just copy those over too?
you should be able to copy the groups over too I think.

great I will try it tonight.. Ithink

just delete every file in the old protection folder but leave the scriptDatabase.db file dont delete that one, then copy the new protection 3.0 files to that same folder this is no group file or database to worry about, all group info is saved under the rights table inside the scriptDatabase.db file, the new protection 3.0 just adds more options so other groups can also be saved to the rights table, the protection 3.0 is 100% backwards compatible. after you copy 3.0 into the old protection folder restart your server for it to load, note its always best to back everything up before you make any changes at lest then if something goes wrong you can always revert back.
Worked just fine I think.. or at least the ares aer still there. Wonder if the TP routine interference will be fixed if I dont have to make someone a Admin to work in the area like the 1.18 version.
Thanks for this it is really important feature.

no you no longer have to make them an admin
when you add a player just do the command /addplayertoarea Owner username
I sure hope they put this type of feature in the main game before the stop Lua script support
I believe there are several ports over to java being worked on atm.
Is there a way to expand or shrink an already existing area?
unfortunately no
