Fast Groups Bypasser (Vue)

FastGroupsBypasser (Vue) is a control panel that lives on your canvas: drop it in, and it lists every group in the workflow with a one-click toggle that bypasses or enables the whole group at once. It's the ComfyPanel take on rgthree's Fast Groups Bypasser, explicitly credited as such in the node's own description, and it's been rebuilt for ComfyUI's Vue (Nodes 2.0) frontend - the "Vue" in the name isn't decoration, it's a compatibility statement.

The backstory matters here, because it's why this node exists at all. In late 2025 ComfyUI shipped its Nodes 2.0 rewrite - a Vue-based replacement for the old LiteGraph canvas. It was opt-in and beta, but it broke a lot of custom nodes, and rgthree's famous Fast Groups Muter/Bypasser was among the casualties; the maintainer of rgthree-comfy said plainly he wasn't planning to overhaul for the new UI. That left the Vue side of the ecosystem short on group-management dashboards, and this node is one of the fills. If you've stayed on the legacy canvas, you already have rgthree's original and don't need this. If you've moved to Nodes 2.0, this is a working replacement that keeps the same mental model.

Mechanically it's a frontend-only node. The Python class is a stub - passthrough returns a single *-typed OPT_CONNECTION output and does nothing else. All the real behavior lives in the pack's JavaScript (web/ui/vue_fast_groups.js), which scans the graph for groups, renders a dashboard widget on the node, and flips each group's mode (bypass vs enabled) when you click. The OPT_CONNECTION output exists so you can daisy-chain the node into a workflow's connection graph without it doing anything to the data - it's a placeholder wire, not a real passthrough. There are no inputs to set and no parameters to tune; the "settings" (filtering, sort order, toggle restrictions) live in a frontend modal.

Installing it

Same single-pack install as everything else in ComfyPanel:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Ginolazy/ComfyPanel
# restart ComfyUI

Or ComfyUI Manager → "ComfyPanel". No models, no heavy dependencies beyond the pack's standard set. And the one thing to verify before you rely on it: it targets the Vue UI, so if you're running the legacy canvas you want rgthree's original node, not this one. If you're on Nodes 2.0 and the dashboard doesn't render after install, a hard browser refresh is the first fix - Vue-extension nodes are notorious for hanging onto stale cached state.

The honest take: this is a niche-but-needed node. If you haven't adopted Nodes 2.0, you don't need it. If you have - and you miss being able to bypass five groups in two clicks - it's the closest thing to a drop-in replacement for a utility pack that walked away.
