Can I specify the "[text]" of a group?

Question

In the example you can "group My own label" and get "My own label" put in the diagram where "loop" or "alt" would normally go.

What I'd like is a way to specify the first bracketized text that would appear after "group My own label" in the way that you would see if you did "loop My own label 2". 

I already found you can put "else My own label 3" after a group and get additional braketized texts.

Answer 1

Hello,

It's not possible yet, but that's a good idea.

We will probably enable this syntax in next release/beta:

group My own label [My own label 2]

Thanks for the suggestion, we will post a news here when this will be ready

Answer 2

You can download version 8009beta1 here : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar

This version works with:

@startuml
Bob -> Alice: Authentication Failure
group My own label [My own label 2]
    Alice -> Log : Log attack start
    loop 1000 times
        Alice -> Bob: DNS Attack
    end
    Alice -> Log : Log attack end
end
@enduml

Feedback welcome!

It sounds like that solution would work well, but I can't get to that link.
