Speed assign by group

Avatar

Add a way to quickly assign a task to all individuals in a user group.

See the "assign to group" in this mockup.  This would be a subtle link, to avoid people haphazardly choosing the group by mistake.

Also, it could bring up a confirmation prompt, similar to when you assign to an external user.

Point of distinction - This is NOT assigning it to the group itself.  It's just a shorthand way to add the individuals with less clicks.

I think this would make many people happy, without requiring a logic change.

Agree, this should be easy to implement and quite useful

Hi Federico Fanton, thank you for supporting this idea. As a possible workaround, you could create an automation rule to assign the task if a checkbox custom field (that you could create and name "Assign to all users of Group X") is ticked:  
 
Would this be an option for you? Thank you!

Hi Juan,

so I would have to create a custom field and a rule for every group I'd like to handle?

Hi Federico Fanton, it seems so. I understand it's not ideal, but this workaround could work if you don't have many groups or situations where you need to mass assign. 

It's also possible to mass assign tasks and projects in the new Table view.
