Hello,

I am using UI control node to hide and unhide groups in same tab. And it was working well all the time.

Suddenly I have started facing an issue that the one group doesnt hide anymore. Do sommone else experience issues with ui control node??

1. your flow doesn't import because of this line in it:  
{  
"id": "7d101395a5edf44f",  
"type": "ui\_group",  
"name": "Group 3",  
"tab": "52c8484964ef80aa",  
"order": 1,  
"disp": true,  
"width": 5  
},  
`![UI control|690x162](upload://xYdQXZ3Ui1yhXauJBFPcC8Brkjz.jpeg)`

2. There is only one tab in the flow you provide

From help text

> tab\_name\_group\_name\_with\_underscores

You have a space that needs to be an underscore. `ARS_Protective Stops`.
