Trying to avoid any gotchas before embarking on some work involving background groups and there's precious little information about them.
Are there characteristics of background groups other than the background behavior property property that must be consistent on whichever card they are on in order for them to behave as bg groups? Layer/ID/ Name, for example? Do background groups behave differently depending on whether their shared behavior property is true? If I copy and paste a bg group onto a card instead of using the place command, does it mess up it "backgroundness"? If not, what's the purpose of the place command If I delete a bg group from a card rather than use the remove command, does that in any way affect its instances on other cards? If not, what's the purpose of the remove command? I notice that if I copy and paste a card with a bg group on it into a different stack, the bg group is still there and has its background property set. If I then create a new card in this stack, the background group is on it. Will it still behave like a background group linked to the background group in the original stack? Thanks for satisfying my curiosity!
