Use a group name in Work Item's subscriber attribute

I guess the first question is if I can create a user group to include, say, all team members? if yes,, how?

If not, not sure if someone has raised this before, but I am thinking of one enhancement request so I can create user groups in RTC and assign them in places like Work item's subscriber attribute.

The reason to ask is that I want my team members to be aware what I am doing with a work item but I don't want to spend lots of time to search their names one by one and add them to the subscriber list. If the serach can accept input like a team name and give me all users under my team with one search, it will be helpful too.

Note that work item 105274 is not currently marked as "planned for 3.0".
I've added a comment to that work item asking for clarification.

Cheers,
Geoff

In the Eclipse UI, you can drop a team area onto the quickinformation
area and select 'Add as Subscribers'

Thanks, Patrick for the trick:)
