Family Group should be able to share back
I shared some family names with a niece to do baptisms and confirmations through our family group. Once she did the baptisms and confirmation it will no longer allow her to share those names back to the group for us to complete the other ordinances. It seems like this defeats the whole purpose of having family groups. It would be so much nicer if I could have nieces and grandchildren do baptisms and confirmation with out have to email them the ordinance cards. So for me the real value of the family groups has been defeated by not allowing completed ordinances on family names to be shared back to the group.
It was a good idea but you have defeated the primary advantage by limiting on one sharing of a family name.

@PlattRobinD , the way I work around this to only share the B&C to the group until they are done and then share the I etc. It's a pain, but it also keeps ordinances from being done out of order.

This is an unfortunate terminology problem. When your niece took the ordinances from the family group, she reserved it from the group and "borrowed" it from the person who originally reserved it, who can be considered the owner of the reservation.
Only the owner can share and unshare ordinances, either to the temple or to family groups.
Someone who borrows the ordinance from the owner cannot share them further. What that person can do, is unreserve them. Unreserving the ordinances does not unreserve them from the owner. That is where the terminology confusion is. it just unreserves them from the borrow's list and puts them back where they came from.
That confusing explanation actually means just one thing: Tell your niece to select the check box next to any ordinances she took from the family group that she cannot complete and then click Unreserve. That will put them back in the family group.
When ordinance expiration dates take effect again, that unreserving will automatically occur after 90 days, returning any uncompleted ordinances back to the group.

I understand that the UNRESERVE button will return a borrowed family group name back to the same group. This is great! HOWEVER, can you please use a different term, like SHARE and have the dropdown only list "Back to the original group"? This would avoid SO much confusion (and fear of using UNRESERVE).
