I was talking about after a whole bunch of cards was already created and then you decide you need a background group. If Place group places an existing group to an already existing card then that would be what I want. However can that be scripted for say 30 or 40 cards?

P.S. I didn't even see that menu item until right now. WOW.

Then before I hit the button I do a copy of the grouped objects. It does not seem to cause any adverse affects having to do this. I wish there were a way to create a 'background' element. However if you already have a background group on all cards you can add to this group after the fact and the new object within this group will be included in all cards that have that background group.
This isn't the most efficient way to do it and creates some bloat in the stack. When you copy/paste a group to another card, you are creating a duplicate copy of the group. If all you want to do is include an existing group on a card, then you just need to place the existing group onto the new card. Use the "Place Group" menu item in the Objects menu to do that.
This has the same effect as creating a group with its backgroundBehavior set to true and then making a new card (which will automatically include any groups on the originating card.)
