I see where you are coming from now. I always think of it as: a group
with background behavior is a shared group that is only placed on one
card. This probably stems from my HC experience, where 1-card
backgrounds are very common.

A group may be shared among several cards. That is independent of

I don't know. However, properties can be set unshared even in nested
groups.
My guess:

Steve,
In my experience, an image is shared if it's part of a group with
background behavior set to true, but local if simply placed on a card.

Thanks everyone for the very quick replies.
At least ths explains whats happening! The aim is straightforward placing of
the member image in the card as part of the database.
I'll try Robs idea of using a button and if not quite what I want, the

So for those kinds of objects, a good approach is to store the path to
the image (or selection in a menu button, etc.) in a custom property on
each card, and then on preOpenCard reinstate that path/selection from
the custom property before the card draws.

Steve,
Klaus is right... but I wanted to give a bit more detail. There are some
objects that have properties that can be shared (or not shared) among
multiple cards of a background and some that can't. Text in fields can

Steve,
Uncheck the background behavior for that group. It is shared on all
card if checked.
If you need a backrgound group and an image then make two one with BG
on and the other with BG off.
