Currently, when you go to add contacts to a static list, it must be a pre-existing list. It would be immensely helpful to have to option to create a new static list from the drop down menu, or at least somewhere on the same screen. It’s much more intuitive than the alternative. Usually my flow is something like - Searching through contacts/other lists, selecting contacts as I go - Decide these folks should be in their own list - More \> Add to Static List - Remember I have to already have a list made - Open new tab, create new list - Go back to original tab and hope newly created list populates in the drop down (it doesn’t) - Refresh tab, go through the hassle of reselecting all the contacts - Then add to new list ---

YES; Upvote! +1 For the product team I would further explain this functionality request as the ability to create and name a new static list from any list view (Company, Contact, Deal, Ticket… objects). After filtering and wanting to add them to a list… it’s counter-intuitive that the list you wish to add them to must already exist.
