possibility of replacing/adding entire groups about anno1800-mod-loader HOT 3 CLOSED

Can we get a bit more background what this should do and why it's needed?

from anno1800-mod-loader.

for example yesterday I tried to replace the entire group of fertilitysets and ended up having to replace the entire group in which they were on my own.

So the group was like

<Group>
  <Assets>
     <Asset> 
    .... 
  </Assets>
</Group>

and I had to replace every single asset individually or delete it. Would have been way easier if I just could replace the entire group by my own using a modop.
This only needs to work with assets.xml. To select which group you want to replace one might just link the guid of the first asset in the group.

Already possible with the correct XPath. There is no need to add something specific for that.
something like

<ModOp Type="replace" GUID="1234567" Path="../">
_stuff_
</ModOp>

/AssetList/Groups/Group/[Assets/Asset/GUID='1234567'] or //Group/[Assets/Asset/GUID='1234567'] should do the trick.
