This is probably why Rev's menu item is "Place Group". Note though that

This is the case for placing from the message box, too, not just the
menu.
The combination of these two methods are probably where Richard and I
(and
perhaps others) assumed that you *needed to have* the backgroundBehavior
property turned on in order to share content.
I assumed that. I was sure I read it. I first started back in March
and came with no preconceptions, but somehow I got the idea.
It does seem odd, though, that buttons can share their hilite through a
property, fields can share their text through a property, but groups
share
their contents through being "placed" - no property to set here, it
seems.
Yikes. More assuming. I had assumed all that sharing had something to
do with "shared groups" and put off considering what it was until later.
Of course the docs state that the backgroundBehavior property has
nothing to
do with content sharing, but is specifically to put such a group in the
message-passing hierarchy "behind" cards, and to have it automatically
placed on new cards as they're created.
Oh, good. If I could read...
But I think the confusion is over the content-sharing aspects of a
group,
and not the message hierarchy issues.
At least.
