Add option to create custom friend lists on Fitbit app

Having the ability to make custom friends lists (multiple) that we can name and use for faster challenge/group invites, some examples:
"My Bingo List"
"Workweek Hustle List"
"Injured Friend Or Waiting On Replacement Tracker List"
"Weekend Warrior List"

Moderator edit: Clarified subject and updated label
This is needed because:
To simplify and speed up the invite process for challenge organizers, especially with large friends lists, & especially since you have so many types of challenges and not everyone joins all types of challenges. Also, if someone isn't able to join due to injury or technical issues, they can be filtered out until their issue is resolved.
I'd use this: Daily

Dear moderator @YojanaFitbit @

You changed my subject to make lists by "challenge name", not what I'm suggesting. It can be ANY name. If I wanted to move people from my Workweek Hustle List to my Injured List, that is not a "challenge" list. The purpose of the Injured List is so they don't get invited to challenges until they heal. Make sense? Just making sure it's understood that these are "custom" friends lists, and they don't need to be associated or tied to a challenge name. Also, another user said it would be useful to have a list for friends in different time zones, so these lists should have the flexibility to be for any purpose we need them for.

This would be great, eg for a list of people in the same time zone.

Great idea, more suggestions:

My family - list

My friends who have about the same steps as I have (Garmin has it) - list

My "close" friends - list
