The group object allows mission-makers to assign a callsign to any group. This callsign is e.g. shown when using side chat in-game.

When cutting-pasting a group with a custom callsign (or copy-pasting it from one mission to another) the callsign is reset to it's default value (e.g. Alpha 2-2)

Place a group in the editor.
Double-click the group object, set a custom callsign, e.g. "My Group 1".

Hello.

Thank you for the report we will have a look at it if there can be anything done about it.

Confirmed. Problem is changing that now in regards to backwards comp. Alternatively there should be a new attribute.
