Adding a group to a group (nested groups)

[Justin Dirks]

Hello! I am needing to add group to a new group that I am creating.  Group A needs to be added to group B.  I don't know exactly what related list would deal with this or if there is a better way to get this done without having to use parent group because I am needing to add more than one group to the new group.

Thanks!

Hi, can you clarify the business case, indended use\solution
It is possible to set 1 group as the parent to multiple children, but normally I would only consider group relationships to add value to a reporting structure.

Some of our customers are......picky and like to have things their way.  They simply want to be able to nest groups in a related list.  I have tried to show them the parent/child relationship and they don't like that since it's not as clean or easy as adding groups to a related list.

Hi, if your clients require a relationship other than OOB parent\child, then you will need to look at a custom table to hold many to many relationships. Without a very clear business driver I would not consider it advisable, or a good use of a custom table, but if thats what they want then....
