Revert A Member to A Guest Without Losing Assignments

Question

I have 2 guests that were accidentally added to our boards as "Member" - even though they only have access to 1 board each.

*  I tried to remove them and make them a guest > Result: they were added back as a Member again. 
* I tried to remove them entirely from all access and add back > Result: they were added back as members but they have to reassign themselves to tasks...

Is there a way to assign tasks to a guest? And is there a way to revert a member to a guest easily without losing all the connected tasks already assigned to a member (who should be a guest)?

Thanks for the clarification. I was referring to the view on the workspace settings. So I should read that as workspace member and guest. Thanks again.

I think you might be mixing up board member and workspace member.

If you add someone to a board (but not the workspace) then they are a guest of the workspace but they are a member of the board.

You can’t be a guest on a board and not be a member on the board.

After you remove the person from Workspace Member,  I would have thought that account would be on the board as guest. Don't add it back to workspace member.
