I've tried many different options for this but it still isn't working. I think I've followed all instructions...
What I'm trying to do is assign automatic access to a GJ group "Arts and culture" at registration for interested parties.
I'm not sure if my error is with the field itself, permissions, the plugin, or my configuration but when I login as the new user and go to the All my groups menu item, it shows that "There are no Groups available."
I've attached a screenshot of the GJ Auto configuration.
Some more information has come up. In front-end, when looking at the All groups menu item (not My groups) it appears that the user has, in fact, been automatically assigned to the group.
What's happening is that the My groups menu item isn't picking it up, though.
I created the My groups menu item through GroupJive > Menus. I checked All My Groups and clicked Save. The item then appeared on my GroupJive menu.
More exploring's been done and I have some more information about this particular situation.
The My Groups link is still a problem but it's not the only problem that's preventing auto join.
The registration form checklist with 6 options each representing a different GJ group. The user can select any amount of groups to join. I've found that if the user selects only one group, it auto-joins to the selected group. However, if more than one group is selected, the user isn't joined to any groups.
So one checkbox to one group works.
But multiple checkboxes to multiple groups don't.
As a test, I'm considering adding a Joomla user group for each of the 6 options and then joining a specific user group to a specific GJ group, but that seems like a long way around and I'm not sure that it will provide a solution. Especially if I'm missing something obvious somewhere.
Making progress... The My groups link is only for the groups actually created by the user, not for joined groups. Is there a menu link for a user to see at a glance all the groups they belong to?

Your conditional is probably incorrect if the field is a multi-checkbox. For multi-checkbox you need to use the Contains operator and not the Equal To operator. Equal To is literal match of "VALUE = VALUE". A multi-select field stores the values as Value1|*|Value2|*|Value3, etc.. so Equal To does not work when multiple values are selected.

Correct.

No, not currently. Next release of GJ will have such a page though.
