Hello Franz,

do you know if there are any updates on the implementation of TCA group 
fields, especially on the implementation for multiple database tables?

I'm in a need for this right now and just realized that it's not yet 
supported by Extbase, so I need to decide if I can leave it as it is and 
apply any working patch to Extbase or if I've to change the TCA.

Thanks for your help,
Thomas
