[ckan-dev] unusual behavior when adding and viewing groups

Tue Dec 6 14:05:24 UTC 2016

Ok, I changed the way I'm calling the group_create method from the ckanapi
package and I seem to have resolved the issue.

It is/was still strange to see the datasets contain groups, but to not have
those groups reflected elsewhere. That said, until I can reproduce this
more definitively I think my problem is resolved.
