Cannot assign a Group User through workflow

The documentation for 6.5 says: Examples of uses for a Group User would be to assign all new leads to a group user named "Sales".

However, in Version 7.x the documentation no longer mentions this use. It is still possible to manually assign a record to "Sales" but not through Workflow. Group users do not appear in the dropdown list for Assigned User in Workflow.

Is this one of the features that was dropped in Version 7 or just a bug?

Thanks

I know this is a few years old, but I think this is still a missing feature even in the new Advanced Workflow?
Any confirmation either way appreciated.

Hi Partner Support,
In Enterprise Winter '19 (8.3.0), I just performed the following and it worked as expected to assign the record to a group user:
1. Create a group user named 'Groupie'
2. Create a Process Definition targeting Accounts:
Start Event: applies to all updates, no criteria
Action: Change Field -> Assigned to: Groupie
End Event: do nothing
3. Edit and save an Account record.
Result: The Account was reassigned to the group user, Groupie, as expected.
I hope this helps!
