Nancy,

Your data is saved ok, but the default view renderer isn't displaying it right.
I would submit this as a Jira.

<structuredData>
 <Test_group_field2>
   <pet>My Dog</pet>
    <pet_info>
      <pet_name>Buster</pet_name>
      <type_pet>Dog</type_pet>
      <pet_trips>
        <trip1>Trip 1</trip1>
        <trip1>Trip 2</trip1>
      </pet_trips>
    <pet_info>
 </Test_group_field2>
</structuredData>
