Is this available at the moment?

Yes, it is a must. Other issues with Contract groups:

1. There is no audit trail when a contact has been included or excluded from a group.

2. When you export contact, it does not show which group(s) it is on.

The grouping feature is almost useless without the above.

This is very important and would be incredibly useful, please have this option included.

Extremely important. Groups are rather useless without the ability to quickly and easily import contacts into them at the time of import. Manually adding 3000+ contacts to the appropriate groups manually isn't an attractive option.

I thought it goes without saying you can import the contacts including their grouping. I have now 800 contact that I need to group manually. Makes zero sense.

I am left incredulous that the contract group is not included in the CSV file. We have 25 000 contacts - how can I edit these into groups, doing them one at a time?

I'm actually amazed this isn't already a feature! I've literally just exported our contacts to re-import with the correct groups and I'm shocked you can't do this

This is critical, absolutly pointless in uploading a template file if you then have to manually go through and add them to a group.

A must have feature, a huge timesaver

This feature is critical for our business needs both within xero - as well as softwares that integrate with xero that rely on contact groups

This should already be an option on the csv. This is critical for organizing contacts.

This would save hours in our business, it is a must have!!

It would be great to add groups into the export CSV file

I have to find each individual contact (over 500) to put into their respective groups. Being able to do them in a csv would be game changing.

Yes!
Useful to import a list of customers into a group 'membership invoicing', so we can bulk invoice members of that group, then delete the group membership till next import.

How sad I cannot import my thousands of new customers directly into a GROUP. If I import directly into Contacts, I have to search for them one by one to add to the Group. BIG WASTE of time.

Please can you add a field for groups on the contact import template. Would be so much easier to add contacts to the correct groups already on the import csv template. Thanks :)

This is extremely important as new batches of contacts are added every year. It is extremely time consuming manually allocating the the pre existing groups.

The current use case we have is:
- Contact details are captured in an external system
- Run a report to produce a csv file with each of the contacts
- Import into zero
At this point we need to manually assign the contacts into the next years group.

Some ideas:
* Add an extra column specifying the group or groups to automatically assign to the group. If the group doesn't exist ignore the group
* Add a bulk group function that you can send the file to and have it assign the group to
* Pre or post upload allow you to specify one or more groups to add the uploaded values to.
* Allow you to specify a filter and assign contacts based on that filter, this would allow us to assign all ungrouped contacts to a group.

I've just moved a client to a new file and they have around 3k contacts, so I do hope you can action this in the near future!

Have 5000+ contact which we will need to manually put into the right groups so extremely frustrating that this is not a feature.
