### What would you like to happen? Add a visual grouping capability in the Hop GUI to collapse a user-selected set of transforms and hops into a single Group Block. The group is purely diagrammatic: it does not change runtime behavior and does not create a sub-pipeline/mapping. Users can group, ungroup, and expand at any time to restore the full data flow view while keeping the original execution semantics intact. Benefits Improved readability for large pipelines (less visual sprawl). Faster navigation and maintenance by working in logical sections (e.g., lookup/enrichment zone). Reduced editing mistakes: clearer control over complex areas. Better visual standardization for repeated patterns (e.g., “Lookup Enrichment”). Pros Low conceptual overhead: no refactoring and no new executable artifacts. Complements mapping/subpipelines: ideal when you want organization, not reuse. Helps onboarding: pipelines become easier to understand at a glance. <img width="1482" height="227" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/634ff666-456a-491a-a48f-25adb6b30542"; /> ### Issue Priority Priority: 3 ### Issue Component Component: Hop Gui -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
