Hello,

I wanted to suggest that the nodes `catch` and `status` get another node selection grouping. Currently you can choose between `all nodes` and `selected nodes`. I would find it useful if `all nodes of the group` were also available for selection. If this is selected, only nodes from the same group and possibly subgroups are reacted to.

What do you think about this?

Seems reasonable & useful. I wouldn't be opposed.

Are you in a position to implement the feature?

I would have to look at the code first to check if my knowledge is sufficient to perform the extension.

I would do the development. First local tests were positive.

Can I make the pull request then, or is there something I need to consider first. The website says something about signing a CLA and a discussion in the community?

Hi @NetHans

You can consider the community discussion requirement met.

After you raise the pr (against the `dev` branch please) then you will be prompted to sign the contributor agreement.
