Allow tasks and projects to be assigned to a group instead of an individual user

We occasionally have turnover -- who doesn't? There are 10 people in my department, and of the general tasks that are assigned to all of them, I would greatly prefer if I could assign our Wrike user group instead, then make changes to that group if there are changes in the department instead of deleting and reassigning individual users to every task in our shared workspace. Being able to do this would greatly increase my efficiency.

This is similar to another request in the Community for this same functionality when a new request form is submitted and individual users are auto-assigned to the resulting task:

/hc/en-us/community/posts/360018645053-Assigning-tasks-projects-to-groups-via-request-forms

In the same way, if a Wrike user group could be assigned to the task, and to redirects within the task, this would make inevitable changes in personnel vastly easier and faster to manage.

Thank you,

Michelle

Oh! I see this is already on the Backburner. I did not find this other post when I did my initial search:

/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000233605-User-Groups?page=2#comments

I think mine can be marked as a duplicate, because I am asking for essentially the same thing.

Thank you!

We need this as well! I manage a hub and interactions with local markets (30+) assigning names is a nightmare, I should be able to assign a group of people working on the same market, and even more because I have multiple requests forms, I have to update them all every time a name changes... when I could just update the user group and it would automatically update all my requests forms..

This would be great for our organization as well. We are currently using Job Roles as the assignee out of the gate so our team knows which resources they need to reach out to and then assign the task to the individual who will be responsible for the activity. Unfortunately, you can't pull Job Role as an assignee in other areas of Wrike such as reporting for resource management.

Hi @Rohan V. With all respect, and considering that this is my own post, I don't think this does need to be upvoted. I appreciate the extra support from @Peter Pauley, @Gaelle Sannia and @Melissa Salisbury, but this feature request has already received 366 upvotes (as of June 27, 2025) at David Handy's post, "Assign User Groups" (/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000233605-User-Groups?page=6#comments), which I didn't find until after I had posted this topic. It's listed as being "on the Backburner." If they need to upvote anything, it's that!
