Unfortunately, I have the same issue over here.
I already tried the following things:

  • removing groupID (=> error it is expecting the field/property)
  • groupID:null (=> error since it required to have a value)
  • groupID : "" (=> error since it seems to be internally parsed to a guid)
  • new guid for groupID

 

All of the above with the group property:

"group": {
    "default": "<new group name>"
  },

 The 'docs.microsoft.com'-documentation seems to be clear, but it simply doesn't work:

 

groupIdstringyesThe group id determines which toolbox group will contain the web part. The SharePoint Framework reserves group ids for default groups. The developer can pick one of those groups. If a group id is specified, then the group property will be ignored. Alternatively, the developer can pick a completely unique id and a group name. The toolbox will then show the web part in its own group."groupId": "6737645a-4443-4210-a70e-e5e2a219133a"
groupILocalizedStringnoThe name of the group in the toolbox in which the web part will be displayed. If no value is provided, then the web part will be displayed in the Custom group."group": { "default": "Content", "nl-nl": "Inhoud" }

 

So it's definitely good to bring this topic under attention.
