Correct. As expected.

Correct. You weren't actually able to enter values for the
profilegroup you created so it used the defaults. After you
first create a new profile you may have seen a list of the
profile names. You may not have noticed that if you tried to
edit any of these the profile name was blank. Anything you
entered at this point was invalid.

The only was to set these right now is: create the group, exit
back to the list of groups, go into the new group, modify the
name, then edit the profiles listed on the next page.

delete from recordingprofiles where profilegroup=0;

These are probably the result of when you thought you were
entering the profiles for the new group. There is no profilegroup
"0", they should have been 7 or whatever.

Again, you found a bug this morning so none of this should be
construed as the 'right way' until it is fixed.
