There are many ways to refer to things. The simplest is to use
unambiguous names for things that matter.
Is there an unambiguous name in this case ? And if so, what is it :-) ?
A group "A" contains a rectangle "R", and a (sub)group "B". "B" also
contains a rectangle "R". (btw - "B" also may contain a subgroup "C",
and it too will have a rectangle "R", and ....).
There is an unambiguous name for the 'most nested' "R", but there
doesn't seem to be for the other "R"s. I had expected (or perhaps just
hoped) that using a long name would first try to find an exact match,
and if that failed it would then find the closest inexact match - but
that sadly was just a hope.
I could (and probably will) use IDs but that doesn't work for
duplicating the group - you need to either go in and adjust a script /
custom property OR have the group's script find the IDs.
Or - am I'm missing something ?
Alex.
