Can I assign a work item to a group in Visual Stud

Question

I have added a team and also a group inside that project and I can add the group inside the project but I cannot assign a work item to that group or team. It keeps showing this error: error picture here

Answer 1

As far as I know work items can only be assigned to specific people not groups

Answer 2

Just as the error mentioned, it's not support assign to the group in VSO directly.

However, for a workaround. By assigning a work item to a specific area path you basically assign it to a team. If you use the area path for something else today, you can also use another string field in the work item that specifies the team (https://www.visualstudio.com/docs/work/scale/portfolio-management)
