Hi everyone,

I want to make use of the “create from groups” function to create a new group that includes references in a group while excludes references in another group. However, this function didn’t work for me. It cannot excludes references that I choose to exclude in a group. I’m a little bit confused about why this failed.

Wish somebody could help!

Thanks
