there needs to be fix to the people roles and groups

Every time I try to schedule a group it fails. Also I have people in groups where I cannot assign a role. Do I need to make separate role entry for each person even it is the same role? The groups just cannot be assigned, what am i doing wrong, or is the problem with the application itself?

OK, there is definitely a bug there-- I will begin tracking it down and let you know when it's finished.

UPDATE:
I found the problem... if you add a person to a group, but don't give them a role within that group, then they will not be scheduled.

So you must actually give group members a role of some sort.

If a role is not intuitively necessary for the group in question, for example if the group is a children's choir that doesn't necessarily have assigned parts (soprano, alto, tenor and bass are not relevant), then create a placeholder to use (such as vocalist in this instance).

If the group is a drama troupe, you might consider naming them all actors.

If the group was an elder board, you might consider naming them all participants.

I hope this clarifies the problem and is a good enough solution.

I have added a warming on the groups page that you must assign roles to your groups.
