• visibility state is not saved (when embedding or when saving project) (see https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2019-April/057065.html)
• new layers can be added to embedded group (they should be protected)

Thanks Denis for reporting my issue here :)

Could you please tag it as a regression, since it was working fine in last LTR (at least the first point)?

Best regards,

R.

Denis, I use the new layers support in embedded group as a feature, please do not remove.

Jean-Roc, this doesn't like a feature to me, if not a bug, rather a weakness.
Couldn't you play a bit differently and add the layers instead of the group?
I'm a bit hesitant here.

I use the group to add new layers to all the projects based on it without manually editing them, pointing directly to the layers would add work. Is there another way to achieve this kind of usecase ?

Jean-Roc, I think we are not talking about the same thing.
Adding project within a group in the embedded project so that projects embedding this group also get updated is indeed a feature.
But I think we should not be able to add a layer in the embedded group of an embedding project.

Sorry Denis for the misunderstanding !
