Curve deform a group/collection

I use the curve modifier to curve a complex model consisting of multiple meshes. To be specific, its a booth so it has a meshe for the back, the seat, the side arms, etc. and what I usually have to do is to select each mesh individually and add the curve modifier. That takes sooo muchg time and I need to tweek the alignment of the deformed meshes a lot. Why can’t I just group those meshes and curve deform them as 1 object. I haven’t figured out how to do this – not with the geometry nodes in 4.2 either. Any help is welcome
