group the specific field by "assignment" and Resource Group is the only
field that carries the value from the resource over to the assignments by
resource.  Therefore when I use "task" in my group, I recieve "no value" in
the view.  Is there another field that carries the same attributes as
Resource Group.  In otherwords, I can assign an attribute(external or
internal) to the field in the resource sheet and have that value associated
to the actual task assignments of the resources.
