Grouping Text Captions that were FROM a Master Page?

I created a master page that has several placeholder captions in Captivate 2017 (breakpoint responsive):

When I edit the text on the ACTUAL slide, they become text captions and not just placeholders. How come the group option is grayed out for these captions?

I understand you can't group objects ON the master page itself, that's not what I want to do anyway. I'm not on the master anymore. The objects are not locked.

Same question unanswered here from 2014:

If you select the caption and then hit the Delete key on your keyboard, you will see that it displays a new placeholder text box, thus retaining the properties of the original Placeholder object from the Master page (from which you cannot group).

I have done that before when I want to revert to a placeholder. But why would I do that? I understand it's linked to the master, and you cannot group items ON the master. That doesn't answer my question. Thanks though.

Probably has more to do with the functionality of a Placeholder object itself. It's not allowed to be grouped and because it is still a placeholder on a slide, you're kind of stuck with that functionality. Good luck.
