Description

Steps to reproduce

Enable "New wikitext mode" at https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures
Add a custom Tool to its toolbar (it appears when I go to "Insert" > "More") using a personal JavaScript such as:

https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:He7d3r/common.js?oldid=430663

Attempt to move the tool into a *new* custom group instead by adding a few more lines:

https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:He7d3r/common.js?oldid=430663&diff=430667

Expected result
There should be a new menu with the tool.

Actual result
It is still inside the "Insert" menu.

Did I miss something?

The toolbar does not include all groups automatically, in the same way that groups include all tools.

In order to change the layout of groups within the toolbar (or add more groups) you need to modify the target's static property 'toolbarGroups'.

There isn't really a clean API for this as it's not something we encourage at the moment, and it needs to be considered separately for different target types (Desktop, Mobile, Content Translation, Flow etc.)

Unfortunately, the Editing Team can not prioritize this at this time.
