as per [Cannot invite a group to a message - #9 by sam](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cannot-invite-a-group-to-a-message/31040/9) (fantastic feature btw!)

this doesn’t get updated to reflect sales is now part of the message (reopening shows it fine though)

@sam seems “mh” also disappeared (he’s still there though, I can’t invite him because he’s already there):

That is by design, we suppress users that are in the group from the list of users. Sam is in team so showing Sam and Team is pointless.

which make the “live” adding particularly tricky.

OK, fixed per:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/2d425892c492e06f54aaceaf04764c824b5effc2](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/2d425892c492e06f54aaceaf04764c824b5effc2)

Not touching the remove implicitly invited users from explicit list on group invite because it will only cause confusion and is tricky to wire up.
