#GroupObjectError
ISSUE:
Group process variables setting strangely
DETAILS:
If we monitor a process and view the variable in question (see here: http://db.tt/nxFElqOv and here: http://db.tt/jd2iFSkp) we see it defined as "-1".
If we look at the process details page in the backend, the group looks null (see here: http://db.tt/YIHT7BqB)
QUESTIONS:
How can we handle this object (to filter on it for example) - it is not null, in the sense that it does not respond to isnull checks.
How does it get created?...

I have observed that, if a group gets deleted then group id will remain in process variable when you monitor the process. If you want to check whether that group exist or not, instead of isnull checks you may use the custom function doesgroupexist() from Appian Shared Component "Group Functions". This function accepts groupId and returns true if group exists.
