I want to suggest some option that maybe is possible in group selection.

I think that an option in the group selection of nodes, that would make it possible to force all UI-nodes in that selection to one to be selected UI-tab / UI-group, would be a nice feature.

Some benefits are:

- If I put a new ui-node in an existing group selection, it will be forced to the same ui-tab and ui-group that has been selected for the group selection, thus saving me the trouble of setting that extra ui-node to the desired ui-tab and ui-group myself.

- If I copy a complete group selection, I can easily just alter the ui-tab / ui-group name in the group selection, and all the ui-nodes will be forced to this new ui-tab / ui-group.
