Thanks, Rob, but that doesn't answer my question, so let me restate it in a more explicit manner:
Section 4.16 says "Group Membership: It is generally a bad idea to nest individuals within groups. Individuals often belong to multiple groups, at which point you’ll have to decide which group to assign as a container. If you do that, then you no longer have a consistent model across all your content."
Then section 4.21 recommends to do exactly that using "Cast List" as the top-level group.
If I recall correctly, "Cast List" didn't exist in the original release of Realm Works. I could have, at that point, created my own hierarchical cast list with a regular group.
As it stands, though, you added the "Cast List". Does it offer something a regular group doesn't offer?
Does a regular group offer something that "Cast List" does not?
Or is this a purely cosmetic change where there's no difference in functionality?
Or am I missing something obvious here?
