I was unaware of the group behavior that if I changed the image on one
card, I would change the image on all cards containing that group. To
answer your question, I am after multiple images across multiple cards.
The user experience I'm after is for the user to click a button "Create
New card" and go to a new card with an image object and multiple
fields. They then import a picture into the image and fill in data to
the fields. The picture and the fields remain unique to that card. If
I use a clone card command, instead of a background group, will that
work? It's either that or use the group thing and script the image into
a custom property as you suggest.

happening:

Thanks all for your efforts. I think I;ll just ungroup the controls and
create my new cards with 'clone' or some such think, instead of relying
on the background group behavior.
I really hope you don't have to dumb down your stack to get the above
working. Let's verify a couple of things:
1) You realize that by putting your image in a group, it's available on all
cards that contain that group, yes? So if you change the image on one card,
it will change on all cards that contain that group. If you want the image
to be different across multiple cards, you'll either need to use multiple
images (one for each card, not in a common group) or store the image data
for each card separately (in custom properties, for example) and load the
image data upon opening each card as needed.
2) The most common reason to put an object in a group is to use the same
object/script across multiple cards. Fields within groups have the ability
to hold shared data (sharedText enabled) across multiple cards, or to have
separate data for each card (sharedText disabled). Images do not have this
ability natively, but you can script it, as explained above.
So what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Multiple images across
multiple cards, or one image across multiple cards?
