Description Peter McGowan 2018-04-16 10:13:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
Expression methods are very useful, but it is sometimes desirable to be able to return a list of all expression objects of a particular type, unfiltered by an expression. An example is the MiqGroup object type, where the only available expression filter is a tag. It would be useful to be able to return all defined groups, regardless of tag.

Gregg and I discussed this RFE the other day.

Even though it's not elegant, the functionality exists today by using an expression checking for the ID > 0.

I tested this using Automate -> Simulate
