Is it possible to hide a parameterGroup depending on a parameter?

Question

I want to be able to hide a certain parameterGroup option depending on a parameter thats set. I'm trying to make a kind of Advanced Mode, so when I set a parameter to Enable Advanced Mode to True, this shows on one of the options, for example...

"parameterGroups": [
    {
        "key": "grpOptions",
        "labels": {
            "en": "Options"
        },
        "collapsed": false,
        "sort": 20
    },
    {
        "key": "advOptions",
        "labels": {
            "en": "Advanced Options"
        },
        "collapsed": false,
        "visible":"(company=='BetatTest')",
        "sort": 10
    }
],
"parameters": [
    {
        "key": "advancedMode",
        "enabled": true,
        "visibleAsGlobal": true,
        "group": "advOptions",
        "visible":"(company=='BetaTest')",
        "global":true,
        "type": "String",
          "labels": {
            "en": "Advanced Settings?"
        },
        "defaultValue":"No",
        "validValues": [
            "No",
            "Yes"
       ]
    },

Unfortunately ParameterGroup does not provide the property visible. https://docs.roomle.com/scripting/resources/model/configurator/ConfigurationFormat.html#json-objects  

This stems from the premise that a certain ParameterGroup is only visible if at least one Parameter assigned to it is visible.

Here is a small example: http://rml.co/UbSJ

        "sort": 20
    },
    {
        "key": "advOptions",
        "labels": {
            "en": "Advanced Options"

    }

Is it possible to hide a parameterGroup depending on a parameter?
