I was going to report the same thing. Arma version 2.0.146.773
In the meantime you may copy this into the init field of the squad:
minimumDistance = 0;
maximumDistance = 500;
distanceFromOtherObjects = 0;
maxGradient = 0.6;
waterMode = 0;
shoreMode = 0;
groupLeader = leader this;
randomPosition = [groupLeader, minimumDistance, maximumDistance, distanceFromOtherObjects, waterMode, maxGradient, shoreMode] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
{
if (_x != groupLeader) then {
_relDis = _x distance groupLeader;
_relDir = [groupLeader, _x] call BIS_fnc_relativeDirTo;
_x setPos ([randomPosition, _relDis, _relDir] call BIS_fnc_relPos);
};
} forEach units this;
groupLeader setPos randomPosition;You may modify the variables on the top. The documentation of what they do is here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_findSafePos

Typo in code caused it to move only the last placed group.
But, the last placed groups init would run last, and their init would move it back to original position.
Fix for https://feedback.bistudio.com/T169079 turned this wrong code to turn into a crash instead
