Did you try a group picker field?

In the form you need a rule input of type group, map this to a process variable and use the for assignment.

In case you want to store assignee in a data type, use an integer field.

Does that help?

BTW, group names are not unique. Always reference groups by their id.

hello stefan thank you for your answer. is it possible to set choice values for the group picker field so that the user can only select the groups needed ?

Sure. Define a local variable with the list of groups. Can be constants. Create a second local variable to hold the labels created with a foreach and the group() function. Then use these for choiceValues and choiceLabels.

Local variables make sure that this lists are not re-evaluated on each user interaction.
