Problem Statement

Ability to define a custom group right at chat creation. Similar to selecting a folder, a custom group could also be included. With this, a new Claude Code Desktop chat would not fall into the “no group” section, but would land in a section that already has a specific group.

As can be seen in the image, arrow No. 1 would be the place where the group is selected, and arrow No. 2 would go directly into a specific custom group. If that does not happen, it would fall into the no‑group, at arrow No. 3.

Proposed Solution
