Hi, I'm using version 2.0.6 and have issues hiding a group. I have a tab named "Home" and a group "Group1", so I'm basically sending this message to the UI control node:

```auto
{
  payload: {
    group: {
      hide: ['Home_Group1']
    }
  }
}

```

but the group is not hidden. I must be missing something obvious but what ?

Looks like it was a bug, deleting `msg.socketid`fixed the issue.
