Sharing with the Family Group
My family is active in doing Temple work. I find it very frustrating that we are not able to share names on my Temple Reservation list with my family group, if they have been previously shared with the Temple. Many of the names on my temple reservation list have been previously shared with the Temple so this creates another barrier to getting this work done. I hope that this will be changed soon.
Also I would find it helpful if I could reserve individual ordinances instead of having to reserve all the ordinances for an individual, i.e. being able to reserve just the Baptism and Confirmation ordinances and not the others. This would allow me to get at least the baptism and confirmation done without reserving the initiatory and endowment, when I already have more endowments in my reservation list than I can get done this year. This would allow my grandchildren more opportunities to participate and at least give the deceased person a start on their ordinances. I am very grateful for the amazing work done by Family Search but hope there will be fewer barriers going forward. I am truly thankful for your efforts.

FYI
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

Just in passing ...
GREAT suggested enhancement.
'YES'; 'Yes'; 'yes' ...
You are not alone ...
This, a MUCH, desired; and, requested, enhancement, since the recent implementation, of "Family Groups" ...
[ By, MANY; Many; many ... ]
As of yet, there has been no advice, from 'FamilySearch', on whether or not, such is even being considered ...
Here, are just a couple of recent posts, on the matter ...

Putting Names in Family Group that have been shared by others with the temple.
As I responded in those posts ...
------------------
Personally, I think and believe, that we SHOULD, be able to "Share", ANY "Temple" Work, that has been "Share[d] with the Temple System", WITH a "Family Group", if we so desire.
As, I would humbly suggest, that in some (in fact, MANY) of such cases, that "Temple" Work MAY possibly; even, get done, MUCH "Quicker", than through the "Temple System".
And ...
In any event; UNTIL, a member of a "Family Group", in which that "Temple" Work is "Shared", actually "Reserves" the Work, such Work would REMAIN in the "Temple System"; and, STILL be available for either, ANY User/Patron; and/or, ANY "Temple", to do (ie. "Reserve"; and, be responsible for).
I actually 'see', the BENEFIT, of this suggested enhancement.
------------------
In fact ...
I actually 'see' GREAT "Benefit', in the suggested enhancement; especially, as such, would more than likely, 'Hasten" this "Very" IMPORTANT Work.
As such ...
IF, 'FamilySearch', is not "Already", considering (or, implementing) such; THEN, ...
I TRULY hope, that 'FamilySearch', SERIOUSLY considers; and, of course, eventually, IMPLEMENTS this suggested enhancement.
Again ...
GREAT suggested enhancement.
I hope, that this may help give your suggested enhancement support.

ps: You certainly got my "Up" Vote.

Do keep in mind that it was not that long ago that all of those 90-ordinances would have had red icons that meant you could not do those ordinances at all. They had to wait until they were completed at the temple. It was a tremendous removal of a road block to put a green with clock icon on those icons so you can complete them for whoever in your family originally reserved them.
You have several options to get around the fact that 90-day ordinances are intended for you to complete within those 90 days.
1) Complete them yourself as soon as possible. Remember that when the temples are fully open again and expiration dates are enforced, they will all fall off your reservation list in 90 days.
2) Unreserve them so that anyone in your fully extended family can be given these in Ordinances Ready. Remember that Ordinances Ready starts from whoever in your family is using it (even all your 12th cousins) and climbs your pedigree ten generations and comes back five generations to find these green with clock people. There is a high probability that since these people are related to you, if your grandchildren routinely use Ordinances Ready, they will be presented with these same names if you unreserve them.
3) Make use of the message function of Family Groups. Copy all the ID numbers of the people you can't share and paste them in a message to let people know these ordinances need to be done. Then unreserve them so that anyone in your group can go to those IDs, reserve the ordinances, and get them done within the 90 day time limit.
