Your are welcome :-)

Thank you so much, Stefan, this suits the purpose admirably.

God bless you!

Cool, I'll try that approach.

Thanks Stefan, will feed back later

I mean a simple a!dropdownField() or a!multipleDropdownField(). Store the list of groups in a constant to improve maintainability.

Stephen Kane — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 09:16:29 GMT

The group is small and static, yes.

By dropdown, are you referring to a picklist object?

I really want to be able to provide the user with a list from which he can simply select an option (or two)

Interesting. I recently blogged about using groups for a complex dynamic setup.

I am sure your colleague has his reasons, same as I do, when advising certain practices.

Is that list of groups static and not large? Why not just use a dropdown?

Thanks Stefan, I appreciate your advice.

A senior colleague said that multi-level group nesting is not best practice...

I did not know that nesting groups is a bad practice ?!? I would have to refactor each and every app I ever built. Do you have a reason for this?

Depending on your use case, you could use the visibility feature of groups to make certain groups only visible to members.
