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!

Hi@Jahdiel Johnson, Not really. I know as of now, they're not allowing that, so I submitted a feature request.

@Andrée Staråis 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.

Hi Dear Andrée Starå<\/strong><\/a><\/p>
Thank you so much for your solution!<\/p>
It can work, but more like a compromise way. Editing on a report is less convenient.<\/p>
It would be better for me to set access right to each column.<\/p>
But that can also work for now, thanks a lot.<\/p>
By the way are you a BOT?<\/p>"},{"commentID":383283,"body":"
I agree. Great idea! That would be a great addition to Smartsheet features.<\/p>
