Django 2.2 does not wrap single queries in transactions, for performance reasons. This caused some template tags that did database lookups to trigger exceptions. Fixed by moving the lookups (which would not normally change between apache reloads) out from the template tag code to module scope. Adding new groups of type ['ag','area','team','dir','program'] will now require a reload to show up in the group menu.
