I also used chatGPT for looking uo code and I repeated your question. But this time chatGPT gives a wrong answer!
—chatGPT: You will need to specify the group that the button should be added to by setting the group property of the button. The syntax for this is as follows: set the group of button [name of button] to [name of group] For example, if you wanted to create a button called "myButton" and add it to a group called "myGroup", you would use the following script: create button "myButton“ set the group of button "myButton" to "myGroup" create button "myButton“ set the group of button "myButton" to „myGroup" --- It is an error because group is not a property of a button! So, really be careful with copy&paste programming ;-) Cheers Torsten > Am 14.01.2023 um 22:14 schrieb Kaveh via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: > > I just tried Google to the answer to a problem.
