Combo boxes in background groups

Maybe there's no easy way to do this but it surprised me a bit: I
would like to have a combobox in a background group with what would
be its sharedText property set to false, assuming it had a sharedText
property. Being a button, it of course does not so I hoped its
sharedHilite property would have the same effect but unfortunately
no; changing the text in the field portion of button, whether by
typing in the box or by selecting a menu choice, changes every card
with that background on it.
Does anyone know of an easy way to include a combo box in a
background but permitting each card to have a different value. I can
simulate it a couple different ways, e.g. storing a custom property
with the card on closing and reset it on opening but it seems it
should be as easy as it is for regular input text fields.
