Can't use a standard boss from a custom group?

I think this is a current limitation. There was a strong attempt to make them aware of it before release. Probably it's something they will get to eventually.

Ah, well darn, I was hoping to fix that inconsistency in my mission
I ran across that same problem. I worked around it using 2 customs groups. IE Tsoo Leader for the boss and Tsoo for the custom group. Unfortunately it was what you hoped to avoid but I found it less obtrusive than some options.
Depending on the name, there is always using "stupid name tricks" like using "l" for "I" etc. for now. Not exactly optimal, but you might get by, depending.

I'll have to remember that.
You can make a lot of groups out of the Skulls that way
I want to place a boss spawn for a standard boss, but I want the bosses 'group name' to show up as my custom group. Yet, no matter which direction I approach it from, the boss does not show up as a possible choice from my custom group. If I put the boss in his own custom group, alone, the entire group fails to show up.
I can select the standard boss from his standard group, but then the group name doesn't match. :/
Anyone know of a workaround, or am I just really missing something?
For reference, feel free to look at my lowbie friendly arc, Low Tide (arc id #1154). It's the Man O' War from the Hydra that I have as a boss spawn, but it is showing as the 'Hydra' Group as that is the only group he shows up from in the editor. I really want him to be placed from the custom group 'Big Bad' instead.
I even tried mixing custom bosses into the Big Bad group, and while this does make the group show up as a selection, the Man O' War does not show up in the group list.
