Updating map groups via API

[SH801]

I've successfully uploaded a number of datasets to a new map via the API but would like to organise these datasets into thematic groups, also using the API. I was therefore wondering whether it's possible to update the layer groups via the existing API (without creating a new project and extending the core GeoNode code)?

I'm using GeoNode 4.4.1 and have tried a variety of combinations, including POSTing the map blob of a manually-created map with layer groups.

But nothing seems to work - so I'd love to know whether such functionality currently exists and what the documentation for it is.

I've also noticed that the 'visibility' and 'opacity' fields of layers doesn't seem to be amenable to the API - while the /api/v2/map/ call shows the visibility/opacity fields changed after an API call, this is not reflected in the UI which shows the default true/100% values. I've updated the blob field as I noticed that this was necessary to get API-created maps to work.

Many thanks in advance for any help! Really enjoying getting to grips with GeoNode :-)

hey i did some work on creating maps to geonode api in https://github.com/GeoNodeUserGroup-DE/geonodectl/blob/main/src/geonoderest/maps.py sadly i did touch the grouping of maps so far.
