a!forEach(
items: tointeger(extract(fv!row.c8,"[Group:","]")),
expression: group(fv!item,"groupName"),
)

Here c8 is giving [Group:33] it will help you convert that number into group

If you call tointeger() on a string, it will automatically strip out everything from the string that isn't a number and return the resulting integer. And in this case, I think the type returned is actually "group type", which you can just call toInteger on itself - either way, you should probably be able to do what you were originally trying to do with a lot less fuss.

tointeger(a!groupsByName("myGroupName"))

Just keep in mind that if there's ever any possibility that 2 groups have the same name, a!groupsByName() will return an array.

You can use the group() function to get its id.

Something like: group(a!groupByName("groupName"), "id")
