Automatically add selected Face to face map

It is not a feature but a bug fix because as soon i click on "+" icon in face map/vertex group blender should automatically add selected vertices/face in the newly created group but i have to manually click on assign button.

Another issue I'm battling with is if you already have an assigned number of faces in a group, and then remove some, click "Assign" again, but when you select this group these previously removed faces show up in this group again. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong here.

Well, it's fundamentally normal. The "+" icon only creates a group. Groups don't depend on your selection, and nothing technically makes it so it makes sense nor requires to use your selection to make a group… It's a more additional handy thing than an obvious thing that should always happen and is self-explanatory.

So IMHO this should not be the default behavior, because by essence it's not straightforward at all. Though it could be something done in an alternative way, like shift clicking the + button.

I wouldn't really call it a bug per se. But it would be convenient indeed if the current selection was automatically assigned when creating a new group.
