Client group management issue

Not yet.

Selecting a client via its MAC address is preferential because it is a unique selection. IP addresses can change (even often) depending on your DHCP server and you'd loose client recognition easily. Also, many users have frequently changing IPv6 addresses (may it be either due to the ISP sending out new prefix every day or by operating systems deeming a frequently changing address a "good idea" (Windows, MacOS)).

The fact that

may not have propagated correctly downwards into other regions of the code.

@dmginc670 @lupinehorror Please try if

pihole checkout web tweak/group_clients_MAC_hostnames

fixes the issue for you.

Looks like it does! Selecting a host from the dropdown now shows both the mac address & the hostname in the table.

Thanks for the confirmation, the bug fix will be included in the next release of Pi-hole. You can just stay at this custom branch for now but make sure to switch back to master when / before upgrading to the next version of Pi-hole.
