I've noticed sometimes the option to create a group in the timeline is missing and can't figure out why. In the screencast below I've imported an ejector pin, made copies and I can group the first set, then I imported another ejector pin, made copies but can't create a similar group for some reason.
Thanks Mark

Thanks for posting. This is one where we need the model.
Can you reproduce it in a simple model that is easy to share?
Thanks,
The one case that we've discovered where this can happen is if a feature thinks it is already a member of a group. The way that this bug can happen is if a feature was once added to a group, then all the other members of the group deleted. In that case (a group of size 1), the UI says "this is not a valid group so I won't display it", but the code apparently forgets one critical step: It forgets to let the feature know that its group no longer exists. So, when the UI asks "are you already a member of a group?", that feature answers "yes", so is no longer eligible to be added to a group. If it is selected with other features which are not in a group, the "Create Group" menu item will be suppressed. This is being tracked internally as FUS-33046.
So, that is one scenario that we know of that can cause this problem. @Anonymous, and @HughesTooling, could this explain your situation? If not, there may well be another scenario where this bug can occur. As @Phil.E says, with the model, we might be able to find another cause.
