Description

When I move a field out of a GROUP by click/drag:

  1. the field is duplicated rather than moved.
  2. if i then delete the group, both fields (the one in the group and the duplicate outside of the group) are deleted.

Live example: https://www.loom.com/share/4a16787060b04eee80eb36674b18bb5f

This is resolved when disabling memcached in SG Optimizer, in my case.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the click/drag behavior described in the issue, then compare it with memcached enabled and disabled in SG Optimizer. Done means moving a field out of a GROUP creates only one field, and deleting the group does not delete the moved field.
