Hi, is there a way to send private messages to the same group but with a different topic title? My use case: I had 19 users on the same PM. I’d like to send the same exact group another PM but with a different topic title.

I don’t think that there is an elegant solution for your problem. [image] debryc: I don’t want our group page to be littered with groups that aren’t meant to stay consistently active (like this one). There are lots of reasons that a creating a group might be too heavy-handed, but you can make groups visible only to members of the group. I don’t think that there is an easy way to bulk copy-paste recipients into a PM, but sometimes things “just work”. You can change the title of the PM, but it’ll still be littered with the previous discussion (unless you delete those posts?).

I’m leaning away from creating a discourse group, because I don’t want our group page to be littered with groups that aren’t meant to stay consistently active (like this one). I may just need to copy and paste from an external record of who I want on the PM, then, if Discourse doesn’t have a way to do this. Is there a way to copy and paste in bulk, instead of entering each email address in one at a time?

I just tried changing the title on a test message, and the email notification that’s received doesn’t actually have the discussion from before hand, which is good enough! Thank you!

Create a group (in the discourse sense of Group, not the vernacular sense of a bunch of people in a pm).
