Add many approvers at once
Hi,
I have many tasks created by different developers that need to be approved by the same group of people. Instead of requiring each task creator to recreate the approval list one name at a time, is there a way for the creator to specify a group name of some sort so that all names in that defined group would be applied at once?
It seems an easy fix would be to allow the specification of a team name on the Add Approver dialog. Then all members of that team would appear and selection could be made. Or broaden the name search to also search for a team name(s).
Thanks, Doug

There are a couple of enhancement requests that seem to be what you want.

The second enhancement mentions that, currently, you can create a folder in the Favorites with a set of users. You can drag and drop that folder to an approval in the work item's approval section.
