This is intended, wireless lan group is not a field on the interface model, it is purely used to filter the wireless lan.

Please see this FR which is currently planned for 3.5, which seeks to make this more obvious.

I'm glad to hear about FR 3.5.
We have the same WLAN name at many locations, and you can tell from the group name that you have selected the right WLAN.

It's similar with the VLANs. Oh, we have the same VLANs at many locations, so it would be more transparent with the group name.

But I'm just seeing that the behaviour there is also the same. I remembered it differently.
That's why we also wrote the group name in front of the VLAN name.
The display then shows the recognition:

E.g.

Groupname | vLanName (2000)
