Can you use Groups in Contact list column type?

We have different groups created under user management, for example, email team, marketing team etc. I wanted to know if they can be used inside a column with contact list column type for a project? If yes, how? If not, what exactly is the use of creating these groups apart from workspace, sheet sharing?

Hi @ameyaa
Unfortunately, it's not possible to use them in contact columns, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment
The use except for what you already mentioned is for sharing overall, sending messages, and it makes it easier to add/remove members of groups and the sharing associated with the groups.
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

@ameyaa Did you get a response to your request?
-
Hi @Jahdiel Johnson, Not really. I know as of now, they're not allowing that, so I submitted a feature request.
-
@Andrée Starå is there any way to vote on an idea that has been submitted as this would help me. Especially if it wa a quick way to add all contacts to an assign column.

I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, there isn't a voting option except submitting another Enhancement request.

This would be a big win to have for assigning tasks to different teams and alerting them.
