Flagging a file that is the only file in its group will flag the entire group

I have been using flagging to quickly find certain files. Today I flagged a file inside of a group that only contains this one file. The entire group becomes flagged in that instance. However, if I add another file to the group, I am able to flag just one of the files and not have the entire group be flagged as well.

Is this expected behavior?

Thanks.

Yes.
The flagged state of a group is governed by the flagged state of its contents.

If you have one file and it’s flagged, the group is flagged as all its contents are flagged.
If you add another file that isn’t flagged, the group will have a mixed/indeterminate state, displayed as a dash.

Okay, thanks for the explanation.
