Hi!

I’m trying to implement grouping of samples, but I’m not able to expand the row in the general stats. Instead I get the columns multiple times.

For each dataset I have forward and reverse reads + trimmed version, I was expecting these to show as expanded rows per. dataset and not in multiple columns (eg. 4 x “CG”).

Please see [Slack](https://nfcore.slack.com/archives/C05663US2B0/p1734347334383359) for example and data.

Hope you have any tips to solve this 🙂  
Thanks!
