I added the following code to my theme component and expected a new popupMenu to appear in the composer.
```js
api.onToolbarCreate(toolbar => {
toolbar.addButton({
id: "align_center_button",
group: "crud",
icon: "align-center",
popupMenu: true
});
});
```
I thought I would be able to follow the code here where the `options` cog gets added and it would work.
```js
toolbar.addButton({
id: "options",
group: "extras",
icon: "cog",
title: "composer.options",
sendAction: this.onExpandPopupMenuOptions.bind(this),
popupMenu: true,
});
```
I thought that I could create additional buttons with the group `crud` and they would show up in their own dropdown like the default options. Is this possible? Could I get an example of how to setup and bind options to your own popupMenu?

I don’t believe our javascript plugin API is set up to make it easy to add a secondary dropdown menu at this point. The toolbar customizations I can think of have all just added options to the existing drop down.
To get _something_ to render you would need to change your `group` to `"extras"`. The groups are [hard-coded](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/85e2f673679bd88b23f3f8908241a03470eb617b/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/components/d-editor.js#L57-L61) and relate to the various sections of composer buttons.
The other thing to watch out for is that the `icon` you choose needs to be added via your theme component or the `svg icon subset` site setting.
Beyond that, I’m afraid you’re treading into fairly uncharted territory.

Ah okay, that makes a lot of sense for the group sections.
I changed the group back to extras and now it does show up, but now it along with the existing options cog dropdown the same menu.
```javascript
api.onToolbarCreate(toolbar => {
toolbar.addButton({
id: "align_center_button",
group: "extras",
icon: "align-center",
popupMenu: true
});
});
```
Would this be a possible feature to add to the plugin API? The ability to add custom items to your own dropdown independent of the existing options dropdown. I could see this being useful as our composer is starting to look a little cluttered with all the additional options we would like to have 🙂

Totally understand how it could be useful! I see you opened a #Contribute > Feature topic which is perfect. That will help us track interest and hopefully make it so sometime in the future.
