Hi Joel,
Thanks for reaching out!
Objects won't keep their own states when grouped because states can only be added to individual objects, not grouped objects. You can check out this article which contains some of the most frequently asked questions about Grouped Objects in Storyline 360:
The only way to keep states of objects distinct is to avoid grouping them. I’ll be happy to pass your thoughts on improving the behavior of grouped objects in Storyline 360 to our product team, but you can also feel free to detail them more through a feature request!
Thanks for your answer,
I stumbled on this resource and yes, it had clear explanations on how grouping works.
I circumvented my problem by creating a disabled initial state for all objects in the group so they are not clickable, and when I change the state of one only via triggers, only that one is being activated, not the whole group, which is fine (hope you'll keep it as such).
So it's kinda solved, but in that case the default behavior to automatically make clickable the whole group was to me detrimental and caused extra work, that's why I'll file quickly a feature request because we should be able to choose if we want or not the behavior of an object to be transmitted to others when grouping.
