BUG DESCRIPTION

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

meingraham from Discord asked me to open this bug report.

When deviating from the standard topic (%prefix%/%topic%/) the standard use of group topic ie cmnd/tasmotas/somecommand no longer works. But appending the additional terms used in the topic to the group topic works. Not sure if that is the way it is intended to work. For example, If I change my topic to %prefix%/kitchen/%topic%/ I have to publish to cmnd/kitchen/tasmotas/somecommand to make group topic work.

### TO REPRODUCE
_Steps to reproduce the behavior:_

Change default topic from %prefix%/%topic%/ to something like this %prefix%/test/%topic%/

### EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
_A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen._

When publish a command to cmnd/tasmotas/somecommand I expect all devices with the grouptopic = tasmotas to respond

Instead I have to publish to cmnd/test/tasmotas/somecommand to accomplish this


### SCREENSHOTS
_If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem._


### ADDITIONAL CONTEXT
_Add any other context about the problem here._


**(Please, remember to close the issue when the problem has been addressed)**

[arendst]

It's intended and I see the issue here.

I'll need some thought how to tackle this other than decide to keep the grouptopic fixed as cmnd/tasmotas/somecommand.

In that case I forsee the HAss users complaining as their default fulltopic is tasmotas/cmnd/somecommand

I think I take a long holiday....

[joba-1]

how about publishing the source code along with a good wiki documenting everything?
Then everybody should be happy, right? OMG :D

[meingraham]

I forsee the HAss users complaining

I'm missing the problem 😉

Closing this issue as it has been answered.

[meingraham]

So, GroupTopic just replaces the %topic% portion of whatever FullTopic is. Is that accurate?

[arendst]

Correct.

Perhaps I better change the grouptopic like the fallbacktopic. In that case it would always become cmnd/tasmotas/command

[arendst]

Added command SetOption75 0/1 to switch between two grouptopic layouts.

• 0 = default grouptopic built from fulltopic replacing %topic% with grouptopic
• 1 = fixed grouptopic of cmnd/<grouptopic>

After executing command SetOption75 a restart is performed to unsubscribe current group topic and re-subscribe new group topic
