Is it normal behaviour that when I apply a .toolbar to a Group that I see duplicate buttons equal to the number of Views in the Group? e.g.

Group {
    Text("1")
    Text("2")
    Text("3")
}
.toolbar {
    Button("Hi") {
    }
}

Results in 3 toolbar buttons appearing in the UI, like in this screenshot:

If not, then I'll submit feedback about this bug but thought I'd ask first.

I think that's expected behaviour. As you've said, it applies the modifier to each item in the Group.

With .onAppear it wouldn't make sense to do the same thing three times. All three Text views appeared, why would you want to call a method three times, or change a variable three times?

For .toolbar you're adding three Buttons, and I would say that's what you would want to happen, no? Three buttons with the same format, style, etc.

Additional info (unable to edit my initial post anymore):

I know Group is designed to apply the modifier to each item in the group however that isn't the case for .onAppear or .onChange and it seems a bit odd for me for this to happen with .toolbar because it seems like it should only be applicable to style modifiers, e.g. .font etc.

I'm beginning to think this is a bug because when adding ids the unexpected behaviour causes a crash:

Group {
    Text("1")
    Text("2")
    Text("3")
}
.toolbar(id: "myToolbar") {
    ToolbarItem(id: "myItem", placement: .primaryAction) {
        Button("Hi") {
        }
    }
}
