BoxEdit doesn’t respect a sub-object selection:
It would be quite handy if it would, e.g. for changing the diameter of the hole.

I would like to know if this is merely an oversight?
We can use the Gumball to modify the sub object.
The scale handles are at the bounding box.
So I’d expect that BoxEdit would work.
Nobody cares?
Perhaps a comment from @Gijs ?
Hi @Charles
I can’t say if this is ever going to happen, but it’s not an oversight. It’s been discussed before, but I’m guessing it’s not an easy thing to implement.

The bounding box of the selected object is known, otherwise the Gumball wouldn’t show its scale handles correctly.
hi @Charles @Normand that YT seems about BoxEdit showing nothing, I believe this request is different and from a user perspective makes total sense that it could work.

As for modifying round holes, this might help (uses PushPull):
