Hi .Net User,
Based on your description, do you mean that you want to show two drop down lists in the workflow tasks list’s edit form?
And, do you want to display all the SharePoint Groups and all the members in the specific SharePoint Group that you select from the Group drop down list?
Per my knowledge, we can add two new Task Form Fields to display the “Assigned To” column’s value of the current task, and the Approval Task Process’s Participant Groups, however, we cannot get all the SharePoint Groups in the workflow tasks list’s edit
form using SharePoint Designer 2010.
To implement it, please follow the steps as below.
Click on the “Approval” of the action in the workflow, add two new Task Form Fields named “Assigned To Member”, “Member Group” with “Single line of text” type.
Click on “Change the behavior of a single task” in the “Customization”, add two “Set Task Field” actions in “Before a Task is Assigned” section as below:
      Set Task Field ““Assigned To Member” to “Current Task: Assigned To” with “Display Name”, Set Task Field “Member Group” to “Task Process: Participant List” with “Display Names, Semicolon Delimited”.
  3.  Publish the workflow and test if it works in your environment.
Then, the result is shown as below:
