[Closed] group to dummy

Hi,

I’d like to create a function to convert my groups to dummies on a selection. I wrote this code :

  groupToDummy = undefined
  
  fn groupsToDummies items = 
  (
  	items = items as array
  	global to_be_deleted = #()
  
  	fn groupToDummy g = 
  	(
  		group_name = "dummy_" + g.name
  		g_dummy = dummy name:group_name pos:g.position
  		for n in g.children do n.parent = g_dummy
  		if g.parent != undefined then g_dummy.parent = g.parent
  		
  		--do the same for children
  		for c in g_dummy.children where isValidNode c AND isGroupHead c do (
  			groupToDummy c
  		)
  		
  		append to_be_deleted g
  	)	
  	
  	for c in items where isValidNode c AND isGroupHead c do (
  		groupToDummy c
  	)
  		
  	
  	for n in to_be_deleted where isValidNode n do delete n
  )
  
  items = selection
  groupsToDummies items
  

Let’s say we are working with a simple structure as :

[ul]
[li]group1[/li][list]
[li]group2[/li][list]
[li]sphere[/li][/ul]
[li]group3[/li]
[ul]
[li]sphere[/li][/ul]
[/list]
[/list]

whee I select a single group it works great.

But when I select group2 and group3 it converts those groups to dummies AND delete group1 as if there we no more children inside (you can see it by commenting the delete line and delete its children one by one)

Has anyone encountered this kind of behaviour ?

Thanks
