Remove contacts from List A when added to List B

[LoisP5]

You took a big step backwards in my book when you got rid of the ability to move contacts from one list to another just by checking and unchecking the boxes next to the email addresses. It has been a few years, and I cannot believe you have not found it to be an important enough feature to add back.. It is absolutely ridiculous that in order to move contacts from one list and remove them from the old list, I must check them off and add them to a list, and then go back in and find the ones I just moved (it does not keep them checked), and re-check them, and then remove them from the first list. Wow. I cannot tell you how this frustrates me. We move names from a central location to individual lists based on their email addresses. So for instance, if I have a list of 50 emails we have added or who have added themselves, we go in periodically and put them into lists based on their email address,, and then remove them from the central list so that we know we have processed them. Maybe we are the only ones who found the old way better. If only the boxes remained checked, I would not have to go back and re-check them all. What used to take me 3 minutes now takes 20. Oh well. This is not the first time I complained about this, and will not be the last.

We're updating the status of this idea to more accurately reflect its current status with our engineering team and also made slight changes to the subject line in order for it to be more easily found. We can't guarantee a commitment to deliver on this feature request but it should indicate some awareness that we have heard your feedback and could be taken under consideration for a future release.

While there isn't an automated option to remove contacts, this can be manually done when moving contacts between lists.

Thank you for the idea. At this time, this idea is not on our roadmap.

Hello,

It makes absolutely no sense not to have a 'move' option that will move contacts from one list to another without having to go through the dreaded procedure of having first to do an 'Add' and then having to do also a 'remove'.  

What a pain!  I have to do this very often and this leads to a total mess!  How do you remember all the contacts accurately to 'remove' after the 'add'?  Do you need to manually make a list of the contacts in your mind or a piece of paper?  Do you check the list that the contacts were added? How can you be 100% sure that you did not miss anybody or you did not remove somebody from the original list by accident?

I have not seen a tool that does not offer a 'move' option.  

This should definitely be added as soon as possible.  And to say "this is not on our roadmap"? Not a very smart thing to say.  What does this mean?  This is like admitting that "hey users, we pretty much do not care about implementing an important feature like that.  And good luck struggling moving contacts around in lists!" !

Let's try to be considerate and add this very valuable feature as soon as possible.
