I asked the community the following: How can I select multiple shapes in visio and assign a container to each one (the same style of container btw).

So far I can only see the option to select either 1 object and assign it a container or select multiple objects (shapes) and assign them all to one container.

Is it possible?

I'm using visio professional version 1902, using a Surface Pro.

I received a response from a MS contact stating it is not possible and that I should suggest it here.

thanks
