Illustrator Newbie question 2

Having sussed the syntax for colouring up text and path objects, is there a
way to use fill color on a group? The group is 2 text items and 6 tint
blocks. Usually, using the manual method, I can select the group, click the
spot colour in my swatches and the whole group is recoloured as the spot -
retaining the tint values.

This is what I think should work:

set the fill color of group item "ColourBlock1" of document 1 to {spot:spot
"Big Blue" of document 1}

...but it doesn9t. However:

set the fill color of path item "100" of document 1 to {spot:spot "Big Blue"
of document 1}

...will colour up the 100% tint box without a problem.

And this :

set the fill color of text of text art item "ColTag1" of document 1 to
{spot:spot "Big Blue" of document 1}

...colours up text.

Can groups be coloured up with the fill command?

Mark
