Hello guru team.
I’ve just updated to v1.5.0.beta4 +105
I’ve got some groups, and before update I call (or mention) the @group and it mentions all the members.
Now, I mention the @group but nothing happens. Even no recognize the group while I’m typing the name.
Could you check it please?

@eviltrout I wonder if we somehow regressed group expansion, regardless though probably worth holding off and just implementing proper group mentions instead

Yes we really really need proper group mentions…

Any rough idea of when that would be? We make quite heavy use of the feature…

I believe this recent development effectively fixes this bug?

Nop, I’ve got the last version and new group don’t “mention” the members when you @mention the group. ☹

I should have been more specific. I was really just asking the developers to confirm, as these changes are only live on Meta for now.
Please test again when the new beta7 is released.

I check again all the groups’s settings
Works perfect.
Thanks
