  Can you double check and see that the custom group is extending Participants and not Events? The two are different entities, but a fair number of users have made this mistake in the past.
  
  A few other thoughts:
  
  * Can you also elaborate on where it does not work for participants?
  * Can you try the same sequence of steps on our demo servers and see if you can reproduce it there
