Hi,
  the problem is that it isn't intuitive when user creates an empty compatible. group or mixed group from the compatible group view (http://localhost:7080/coregui/#Inventory/Groups/CompatibleGroups) the mixed group is created and nothing is populated in the list of groups in current view (because it is list of compatible groups).

Is it plausible from UX perspective to create a group with whatever type and then if the type doesn't correspond with the currently selected view, redirect the user to the right view? I've done those changes and to me it is far more intuitive. What about some dialog? "You have created an empty group, which is considered as a mixed one." / "You've created a mixed group from compatible view, the list of mixed group will be opened" ?
