There is a *critical* requirement regarding the use of the group field technique which is never discussed in the docs. Only those who have run into this problem (like you) will ever wonder why it doesn't work the way the docs say it should:You MUST number your groups sequentially, beginning with 1. If you fail to do this, some of your group fields will be ignored.Webcat's internal code is very smart in some situations, but this is not one of them. Properly written documentation would (of course) help people like you from running into this problem ...
