+a node or element to the specified group or to create it anew using
+Add to group box, that allows choosing an existing group for
+the created node or element or giving the name to a new group. By
+default, the Add to group check box is switched off. If the user
+switches this check box on, the combo box listing all currently
+existing groups of the corresponding type becomes available. By
+default, no group is selected. In this case, when the user presses
+Apply or Apply & Close button, the warning message box
+informs the user about the necessity to input new group name. The
+combo box lists both \ref standalone_group "standalone groups"
+and \ref group_on_geom "groups on geometry". If the user chooses a
+group on geometry, he is warned and proposed to
+\ref convert_to_standalone "convert this group to standalone".
+If the user rejects conversion operation, it is cancelled and
