Please provide a brief description of the problem. Please do not forget to attach the relevant screenshots from your side.

When a person is already a member of a group, Bulk Update will not add that person to the same group with a different role. Bulk Update does not throw an error, and even shows a success message at the end of the process, indicating that the people were added to the group even though they weren’t. Adding a member of a group to the same group with a different role can be done manually, so it is allowed.

Expected Behavior

The Bulk Update process should allow people to be added to a group in cases where they are already members of the group under a different role.

Actual Behavior

The Bulk Update process allows you to proceed with the process of adding people to a group in which they are already members under a different role, but no group members are added at the end of the process, despite the success message that’s shown.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Note, these steps require demo data
2. Navigate to People > Group Viewer
3. Select a group with people in it (use “Alisha Marble’s Group” under “Section A”)
4. Select the checkbox next to Alisha Marble’s name
5. Click the Bulk Update (truck) icon at the top/bottom of the Group Members list
6. Expand the “Group” panel near the bottom of the Bulk Update page.
   a. Action = Add To Group
   b. Group = Select a target group (use “Decker Group” under “Section A” – Alisha Marble is a member of this group already)
   c. Role = Leader
   d. Member Status = Active
7. Click “Next” at the bottom of the block
8. Click “Confirm” on the confirmation page
9. Observe the green success message, indicating 1 person was successfully updated
10. Go back to People > Group Viewer and access the “Decker Group” under “Section A”
11. Observe that Alisha Marble is only in the group once, as a member and not as a leader
