When selecting a group in the Outliner, objects not highlighted in viewport.

Basically the title, not sure where the setting to fix this is. See example photo.

As you see, the mesh is not being highlighted as its group is selected. It can be moved with the group it simply isnt displaying its wireframe overlay or anything. However, you can also see the Nurbs and joints in the rig have changed and are displaying they are actively selected. 

Does anyone know which setting I need to change to allow my mesh to display its selection? Working on a project right now and I have a lot of groups, all named, but allowing me to see my mesh selection with groups would be helpful. 

Thanks in advance!

I managed to find the setting in case anyone ever has this issue. I didnt see it posted anywhere so I just continued looking through the preferences of Maya.

Windows>Preferences>Selection>Selection Child Highlighting
