I use msg.payload = {"group":{"hide":["Login"],"show":["Scanning\_Form"]}}; to try and show the next form and hide my login form

Shouldn't you inject this msg.payload:

{"group": {"hide": ["Login"], "show": ["Scanning\_Form"]}}

into an ui\_control node?  
I don't know much about node-red, but in my flows I control the dashboard this way.
