Dear Eviews team,

the following is a minor issue

Eviews version: Eviews 8.1 64 bit
Issue: One cannot program adding one and the same series more than once to the same group

Example: would result in x showing up only once in the group mygroup
In contrast, x can be added to the group more than once via the group members menu.
Workaround:
One may add x and an idempotent transformation of x, such as Suggestion:
Allow for adding the same series more than once to the group

Remark: let mygroup contain two instances of x. After mygroup contains one instance of x - as I expect.
This seems to somehow contrast with the logic behind the add procedure.

Remark:
Certainly a minor issue; the option of having one series more than once in the same group may be convenient, in particular when mangaging large groups

Best,
mamo

I agree. I've made a preliminary update to EV9. It'll go to testing and if all is well, will appear shortly in an EViews 9 patch.

As of the latest patch (May 29, 2015), you will need the 'dup' option to add a series more than once.
