The (quite easy) solution is to alter the &#8216;assigned to&#8217; colum via the list properties. There you may set the &#8216;allow multiple selections&#8217; property to true to enable users to select more than one person or group.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe not that astonishing, but I couldn&#8217;t find this one at first so maybe this post\u00a0turns up in your search results while looking for the same solution \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>By the way, this solution doesn&#8217;t always\u00a0apply. For instance, in the profile properties of a user there&#8217;s a column named &#8216;Assistant&#8217;. This column is also of the\u00a0&#8216;Person&#8217;\u00a0columntype, but you cannot set an &#8216;allow multiple selections&#8217; property here unfortunately.
