Hi Vicente,<br>

</div>It would be pointless because what we want to import is logical<br>
membership of objects in a group, and not duplicates of the objects in<br>
the group, right?<br>
<br>
Re-thinking of this issue, I just got to know that the Link and Append<br>
commands on groups have an option called Instance Groups (enabled by<br>
default). Turning this option off seems to achieve exactly what we need.<br>
Could you please confirm it?<br>
