It would be very nice if I could define a group of participants in the sequence diagram, so then only this new group participant is shown in the sequence instead of its members.

I also want to group a number of participants, or better to say, show that there is more than one participant. I have a listener who receives results. Depending on the type of the result different handlers are called. They all support the same interface, the function calls are always the same. I just want to mark that there is "more than one" participant, maybe by a different shape of the box around the participant's name.

I just searched for this ability too.
In my case, I have an entity that is outside of the flow of my main app. It is kind of like nodeJS middleware I suppose. In any case, I was looking for a way to draw a box around all the participants except this last one.
Not a real biggie, just a nice to have.

Hi,
Could you give a concrete example ?
We are not sure to understand the need.
Thanks,

If I have a sequence diagram with many participants, I'd like to have an option to define a group containing some of them, so then only one participant is shown - the group.
This way some parts of communication could be easily hidden, if such details are not needed. For example if the participants are java classes from different packages I could create two groups (and name them like the packages), put the classes to proper group, and then have a higher-level diagram with packages communication only. By removing the groups definitions, I could get the detailed class communications diagram.
