Hi Everyone,
Do you know if it is possible to assign the same task to many users ? or a group of user ?
Thanks
Olivier
Hi Olivier,
Yes, it is!
You can use multiple contact columns to assign to different roles. Such as Project Manager, Consultant and so on.
Will that work for you?
I hope this helps you!

Hi Oliver,
Yes it is a limitation, to assign the same task to multiple resources. No idea when this will be made available.
The workaround is that you need to have the same task twice in the plan and then assign task to the respective resource. This only "bloats" the plan, but i see this is the only way, especially if you are also looking at resource loading across projects.
Hope this helps..

As Robert and Andree mentioned, there are a couple of common approaches to this:
You can't currently add multiple people in the same cell, and this is something we're working on. There should be an update on this later this year.
Best regards,

Hi all,
We're pleased to announce that you can now quickly & easily assign tasks to multiple people. To do so, check the new "Allow multiple contacts per cell" checkbox in any contact column. The cells in that column will then allow up to 20 people to be added.
You can still leave that option unchecked when you only want a single person to be assigned to a task at a time.
Adding multiple contacts to a cell is useful not only for assigning people, but also for other scenarios where you want to associate multiple stakeholders with a row. For example, you might want those people to receive notifications when the row changes, or you may want them to appear in reports and filters.
For some projects, you may want to add 2 contact columns: one for the primary owner, and another for additional team members.
We welcome you to try it out and let us know what you think.

Hi, "Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required." is the very first line in the body of every form I create. I don't remember seeing it before (unless you missed filling out a required field; then you would see the message). Is there a way to turn it off or change it? None of my forms are in English so the message is…
I have a sheet that I pull into a report. The report I then want to use to make a stacked bar chart and put into a dashboard if I can.

I have a dynamic view setup for a dashboard that has NO restrictions And on the Sharing tab, I have a Group that I created as the additional share access to the view But the individuals in the Group still cannot see the data from the dashboard. Am I missing something? Because when I share the view to them individually…
