Custom ally shows wrong faction name?

I've made two custom groups for my story arc. The first group, A, has all the enemy mobs in it. The second group, B, consists of allies and hostages.

In the first mission you have to rescue an ally from the surrounding mobs. For some strange reason the ally's faction is set to A, the same as the surrounding mobs, while it actually belongs to my custom group B. I'd like to correct this, but have no idea how this is happening. Does anyone have an idea how this can be fixed?

It may be possibly that the surrounding mob is set to the same as the captive.

Is the ally a custom critter or a stock critter that you re-used?

And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines

I have a mission with a similar bug. I have a custom group as the base enemy for the map and a 2nd group that consists of a villain group of bosses and EBs. For some reason one of my bosses keeps showing the minion group under his name. I've tried to erase and reinsert him into the mish with no luck.

No, that's not the case. For the surrounding mobs I selected my custom group A (same as the enemy mobs in the mission). The custom made ally is selected from my custom group B, but the grouptag below his name is that of custom group A.

Thanks for the update, Eva.

I didn't know this was an already discussed topic. Well, it was a minor thing that I noticed and tried to correct. But I guess it's beyond my ability to get it corrected.
