Setting the member group as per the example in the docs doesn't work

[Attackmonkey]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

10.7

Bug summary

If you follow the example MemberSendingNotification here in the docs: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/notifications/editormodel-notifications it's meant to set the default member group, however it doesn't work.

Specifics

In the back office, you can see the JSON for the member groups appear in the JSON that's returned for the new user, however, the member group picker does NOT display the selected group. Comparing the member groups property JSON to a member with a group set shows the property value to be identical. However, for new users the group picker does not set the group in the UI and it isn't persisted on save.

Steps to reproduce

Just add the example from the URL above to a blank Umbraco site, and try and get it to set the default group.

Expected result / actual result

I'd expect it to do what the example says, e.g. set the group for a new user in the back office UI. It's not clear whether the example is wrong, or this is a bug in the UI.

Hi there @Attackmonkey!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot :robot: :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey @Attackmonkey

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, the code example seems correct to me but the front-end does not picks up the modified data, I think because the getMembergroups is invoked after the getEmpty.

Marking this as an up for grabs as it should be relatively straight forward to change this in the frontend as the data is already there.
