I'm currently trying to validate various Mapfiles in msautotest.
One keyword I'm unsure about is LABEL>FORCE>GROUP.
There is no mention of the "GROUP" option in the docs - <a class="qt-moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mapserver.org/mapfile/label.html#mapfile-label-force">https://mapserver.org/mapfile/label.html#mapfile-label-force</a>
It is however used in an msautotest Mapfile: <a class="qt-moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/blob/85e294e8c8ce3c9c455fea0137d4af1ee2feced0/msautotest/renderers/multilabel-leader.map">https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/blob/85e294e8c8ce3c9c455fea0137d4af1ee2feced0/msautotest/renderers/multilabel-leader.map</a>
It is also referenced in mapfile.c and sets the MS_LABEL_FORCE_GROUP flag.
<a class="qt-moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/blob/963edab43c3f0166a9f3630771b310810ec93eb5/mapfile.c#L1597">https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/blob/963edab43c3f0166a9f3630771b310810ec93eb5/mapfile.c#L1597</a>
However I can't see anywhere where this option is used or what effect is has.
Any further information on this keyword appreciated,
Seth
