Describe the bug
To assign a card to several users, I would like to use the groups and circles. This seems to be intended, because I can at least assign groups.
Bug: this does not work for circles. I can select the circles, but the card does not accept this change.
I also thought that the cards are assigned to users via these groups and circles - and should therefore be shown in the "upcoming cards" overview. Due to the bug I could only test this for groups so far, but unfortunately it does not work, but would be very desirable.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to a board and share it with a group and a circle
- Create (first a list, then) a card and click on it, to edit the details
- Click on the field 'assign a user to this card' and assign the group and the circle from step 1
- See that the card accepts the group to be assigned, but not the circle
(5. Set a due date to the card.)
(6. As a member of the group (/circle), go to "Upcoming cards" and look out for the card.)
Expected behavior
I expect also the circle to be assignable to cards.
I also expect cards with a due date, which were assigend to groups/circles, to show up in the "upcoming" overview of the members of the group/circle.

We are still experiencing this and I have more and more trouble to explain to people that it really just doesn't work...

Thanks a lot for implementing this. Would be great to see backport for NC 32. :)
