Hi,

I want to add control in UI from different node-red tabs.
Actually If I copy/past node from tab1 (with configured ui_groups) to tab2, widget's group is empty (add new ui_group) but it works
If I try to make another ui_group with same name, it doesn't work anymore (Create 2 tabs with same name).

Hi,

before node-red 0.15, we defaulted the scope of all config nodes to the tab you are on when you create the config node. This is what you are seeing. In the edit dialog for the ui_group or ui_tab, there is a drop-down list of flows at the bottom - select 'Global'/'On all flows' in that list and then the ui_group/ui_tab will be accessible from all flows.

As of node-red 0.15 we default config nodes to be visible to all flows to avoid this issue.

Thank you Nick. It works like you explain me but I'm using 0.15.2.
