I've been working with 6.x-3.x-dev very happily for some time now - multigroup is very impressive, and seems much more usable than flexifield / other "custom" multi/metadata options. However, I'm having an issue with views: My goal is to drive a table view with a row for each entry in the multigroup, with common data columns as well. For example:

Content type "Class":
Title
Body
Multigroup "Dates" (unlimited entries):
Date
Time
Topic

So, I'd like a view with a row for each class date. Each row would have Title, Date, Time and Topic. When I build the view, and choose to not group the fields in the multigroup, a new row is created for each entry in _each_ of the multigroup fields. For example:

1 node, title "Class 1", with 2 date multigroup entries: "2011-01-01, 21:00, 'Topic 1'" and "2011-01-02, 22:00, 'Topic 2'".

Desired rows would be:
Class 1, 2011-01-01, 21:00, Topic 1
Class 1, 2011-01-02, 22:00, Topic 2

Actual rows are:
Class 1, 2011-01-01, 21:00, Topic 1
Class 1, 2011-01-02, 21:00, Topic 1
Class 1, 2011-01-01, 22:00, Topic 1
Class 1, 2011-01-02, 22:00, Topic 1
Class 1, 2011-01-01, 21:00, Topic 2
Class 1, 2011-01-02, 21:00, Topic 2
Class 1, 2011-01-01, 22:00, Topic 2
Class 1, 2011-01-02, 22:00, Topic 2

Any thoughts?

Closing this, just learned about the Content Multigroup filter! Great stuff.
