Body: <p>In both the Contact Profile and Activity Profile, I've set the "Add new contacts to a Group" drop down to the desired group, but when contacts sign the petition they are added only to the Petition Contacts group.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to automatically assign petition signers to a specific group?</p>

  In both the Contact Profile and Activity Profile, I've set the "Add new contacts to a Group" drop down to the desired group, but when contacts sign the petition they are added only to the Petition Contacts group.
  
  Is there a way to automatically assign petition signers to a specific group?
