Is it possible to add a ‘Group’ to a topic?

The discussion revolves around adding a ‘Group’ to a topic. spj initially inquires about the possibility, mentioning that the ‘Add or Remove’ button only allows for adding individual users. JammyDodger responds, suggesting that adding a group is possible for Personal Messages, provided the group has ‘who can message this group’ set in their settings. However, spj confirms this solution works for their needs. Canapin shares a related experience, noting that groups may appear at the bottom of the recipient selector, requiring a scroll down. matenauta also expresses interest in the topic, clarifying they are not referring to Personal Messages.

The ‘Add or Remove’ button in a given topic will allow for adding individual users, but it doesn’t seem as though a ‘Group’ can be added. Am I missing something here, or is it possible through another route?

Hello and welcome @spj :slight_smile:

Do you mean for Personal Messages? If so, you should also be able to add a group as a recipient in the same way you would add an individual.

The group would need to have ‘who can message this group’ set on their group settings page first, which can be found at eg /g/community-moderators/manage/interaction

It might not impact your forum, but I sometimes had trouble adding a group to a PM because I didn’t see them in the recipient selector. They appear at low priority, at the very bottom of the selector, which isn’t tall enough, needed a scroll down.

I’m looking for the same, not for PMs (because se have a couple of trust levels without them enabled).

Thanks @JammyDodger! That was exactly what I needed!
