When I set the Ignore Failture on an Action Group I would expect it to ignore all failtures from all children, but this doesn't happen. Is this by design?

As designed, Actions do not inherited properties from their parent.

Should the checkbox then be available? When using Run Action List then you don't have that possiblity. It should perharps work in the same way.

Run Action List is a special case that is implemented completely differently to every other action in FinalBuilder. Action Group Actions are just a typical action, except for the fact that they implement a local variable namespace (and that’s new in FB7). Action group actions don’t typically fail as they don’t actually do much, however they can fail if they are told to by a script event. Changing behavor now would potentially break peoples builds.
