Make sure that the "sharedtext" property of these fileds is checked!

Grouped fields can have different content on different cards if there  
"sharedtext" prop
is NOT checked, which is the default for most fields!

Same applies to buttons (checkboxes and radiobuttons), see the  
"sharedhilite" property.
