Bug #24303

Subgroups field in usergroup edit form should be renamed in "Is subgroup of"
100%
Description
The subgroup selector in the backend usergroup edit form has the misleading name "Subgroups". It could be interpreted in the sense that the selected groups become subgroups of the current group record. In fact the current group record becomes a subgroup of the selected groups. This would be clearer if the labe would say: "Is subgroup of" or "Parent groups".
Even the help text is wrong:
Select backend user groups which are automatically included for members of this group.

It's not really a parent / child relationship. In fact when you add "subgroups" (name is indeed misleading) you are adding all the permissions from these other groups as well.
So at the end the field might be called: "Add permissions from other groups" or something, as this is what really will happen.
What do you think?

Hi Ernesto
excuse my late reply, I didn't get a notification, strange.
"Add permissions from" or similar would be a better label than "subgroups", yes.
AFAIK only positive permissions are added, and there is no way to take away a permission by adding another BE user group.
So the explicit label would enlighten that too, I guess, if that's correct? That would be good.
Cheers
Urs
