Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1779786

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, enhancement)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0

Steps to reproduce:

(1) Address book - needs to have at least 2 addresses in it
(2) Select both addresses

Try to add to currently existing list

Actual results:

Cannot seamlessly add multiple addresses to currently existing list

Expected results:

Either:
(1) Ability to highlight multiple addresses and drag into a currently existing list
(2) Ability to highlight multiple addresses, right click, and click "Add to existing list" or something like that
(3) Ability to highlight multiple addresses and then there should be a button similar to the "New List" button that currently appears that is "Add to List"

Thank you!

Either:
(1) Ability to highlight multiple addresses and drag into a currently existing list

This is implemented, but maybe a bit hard to discover initially.

• You can drag multiple contacts "horizontally" to a shown mailing list node in the directory pane.
• You cannot yet drag contacts "vertically" to a mailing list item in the contacts list (bug 1779825).

See my screenshot attachment 9285687 [details].

(2) Ability to highlight multiple addresses, right click, and click "Add to existing list" or something like that

That's Anje's bug 1779786.

(3) Ability to highlight multiple addresses and then there should be a button similar to the "New List" button that currently appears that is "Add to List"

That would be a good complement for bug 1779786 indeed.
