How do i get the group from an object?

I want to return the group the object is in. I have a lot of groups so to use the "is member" command is my last option. But is there any other way to return the group the object is in?

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.2

groups groupfromobject

Hi Pinakin, hope you are doing well!

this worked for me:

Variant myGroups = myObj.getProperty("Groups");

It gives you an array with the names of each group the object is in.

Additionally, the AllGroups property will return an array of all the groups that the object is in directly and indirectly. If you aren't using nested groups then Groups and AllGroups will return the same thing. See this question for more details, Property Tables columns "Groups" vs "AllGroups"
