Manage calls to ringer or voicemail

[Arfer]

Hi,
I have all my Google contacts logically split into groups ie work, friends, family etc.
What I'd like to do is be able to leave the phone on and be able to divert all calls from any contacts in my "work" group to voice mail for example,whilst leaving all other contacts in other groups to ring the phone as normal.Is there a way to do this on the phone natively ?
TIA,
Arfer

in call settings there is an auto reject list never tested it but that might be what your looking for

Not doable without an app.

The best anyone has suggested to me is this:
Mr. Number
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...i5ibG9ja2VyIl0.
This doesn't do what I want as it means making whitelists / globally all contacts as filters.
it's along the right lines but is no longer being developed and not for use Gingerbread onwards.
Can't believe this most obvious and helpful of functions is not available or that people aren't hollering out for it.
Everyone of my friends I've asked about this all once I've explained it are amazed it's not available.
Why have groups within Google contacts unless they provide useful functionality ?
