I need to have a shapeNode label that must reside inside the box (which could be a circle, a rectangle, or a diamond)  and is separate from the shapeNode text.

I attach the labelNode, laying it on top of the shapeNode. This almost does what I want. Two pending issues:

1) cut/copy/paste doesn't work on the labelNode

2) when the shapeNode's text is long, it fills up the whole box and overlaps with the labelNode's text appearing at the top of the shapeNode. how to prevent the "shapeNode label area" from being written to?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

--- code snippet ---
ShapeNode shapeNode = new ShapeNode(diagram);
// set shapeNode properties ...

ShapeNode labelNode = new ShapeNode(diagram);
labelNode.setText("Node Label X");
labelNode.setLocked(true);
labelNode.setTransparent(true);
// set other labelNode properties ...

labelNode.attachTo(shapeNode, attachToNode.TopCenter);

diagram.add(shapeNode);
diagram.add(labelNode);

Thank you. The group=true setting works for copy and cut to clipboard function. However, when a user uses the Delete key to remove the selected shapeNode, the associated labelNode is not deleted from the diagram.

I have this scenario.
- create a shapeNode. create a labelNode. attach the labelNode to the shapeNode.
- execute an undo
- the labelNode is detached from the group (labelNode is removed and the shapeNode now has no label)
- execute an undo again
- the shapeNode is then removed

How do we prevent the detachment? We need the label + shape to come and go together.
