But if a group's cantDelete property is true, it protects the group from being deleted but not its contents. Doing a "select all" and then hitting the delete key deletes the objects themselves, no matter if the group's cantDelete property is true or false. And in that case the group is not deleted (no matter if the group's cantDelete property is true or false) -- it just has no controls in it any more. There is no cantDelete property for controls themselves.

I'll have to store the group in a stack and store the stack in a customProp.

Is there a way to store a background group of buttons as a

controls on a card, and I want to ensure that I can easily place the
deleted buttons back on the card again as a background group. If
there's a way to store the group as a customProp that would be the
easiest way of preserving it -- then I could just retrieve the group
and place it again.

You should be able to prevent such deletion by setting the group's
cantDelete property.
