Then add these individual objects to an address group as shown below:

Adding the fourth object gives the following error mentioned below:

 

One or more members are associated with an interface (port1). Only addresses that are not associated with an interface, or are associated with port1 can be added.

The workaround for this problem is to remove port 1 from the interface at the object to 'any', since the other members do not have the same interface selected therefore it cannot be added to the same group with other objects having the interface selected as 'any'.

 

To add the object the 'Interface' has to be moved to 'any' as shown below:
