What happened to default setting of Group in a new post?

When the Group field on the Create Post page was a list, if I started my post from a group's homepage such as https://community.intersystems.com/group/developer-community-feedback then this group was preselected.

Now that the Group field is a set of radiobuttons I have to select the group.

Is this a bug or an intentional change?

I suspect this is a temporary fix to keep posts from showing up multiple times on the front page, which happened recently.  The future of Groups/Tags is currently in flux.  Join the conversation here :)

I was not a fan of that tiny select list so I switched it to a list. We're experimenting with how to improve the whole group/tag selection thing. I didn't realize that it's not auto-selecting the group anymore. Will check that out.

I just re-tested this, and starting a new post from a group's homepage still doesn't default the Group field of the post. Maybe it never will...
