Description

Imagine the wizard to create a new record. All records are listed, grouped by the extension key (or its translation).
this looks something like

- Photogallery
--- Image
--- Category

- News
--- News record
--- Category
--- Tags

If the news extension is extended by another extension, there is no possibility to group the new record with the one which is in the same scope. Imagine an extension which adds an album record to the gallery and an author to the news. you will get something like this:

- Author for News
--- Author

- Photogallery
--- Image
--- Category

- Photogallery extended
--- Album

- News
--- News record
--- Category
--- Tags

the result: everything is splitted up and nothing belongs together. customers are confused.

The solution:
A oneliner which enables an extension author to group the record with the ones those belong to. So it will look like:

- Photogallery
--- Image
--- Category
--- Album

- News
--- News record
--- Category
--- Tags
--- Author

How to achieve that: Add this line in the ctrl section of the extension which extends the other one

'groupName' => 'news',
