The feature type.
The feature type expressed as a string.
The group, if the feature is a member of a group. Otherwise this will be null.
The group pattern, if the feature is a member of a group pattern. Otherwise this will be null.
The group pattern status.
The group status.
A Boolean flag that specifies whether the feature is an embedded datum or not.
Retrieves the group status of the specified feature.
