 Usually when storing new groups you need to do several steps: [[macros:function:group.storegroup|store the group]] which creates it in the show library, [[macros:example:movehandle|move it]] to the location where you want it, and [[macros:function:handles.setlegend|set its legend]]. Using quickcreate you can do all in one go: create the group with the legend you want in the location you want.
-Also pay attention to the function [[:macros:function:Handles.CreateHandleReference]] which creates a reference to a not-yet existing handle.
+Also pay attention to the function [[:macros:function:Handles.CreateHandleReference]] which creates a reference to a not-yet existing handle. on the contrary something like ''Group.QuickCreateGroup("Location=Groups,1,10", userNumber:10, "Group 10", 0)'' would throw an error and would not work as currently no handle exists with this location.
