Only the first seven custom groups appear in ACL manager
Description
If I create more than seven custom local groups (GID 1000+), only the first seven appear the the drop-down menus of the ACL manager. If I delete one of the first seven groups, then suddenly GID 1007 will appear in the drop-down menus, but no higher groups. If I delete another group, then GID 1008 will appear, etc.
I reproduced this problem on two different servers running TrueNAS Core 12.0-U4 and U4.1. One is an iXsystems Mini X+ and the other is homebuilt. I also found two threads in the community forums describing the same issue, going back at least to November 2020.
I categorized this issue as "SMB" but really the problem occurs even before creating an SMB share, if you simply create a dataset and then "Edit Permissions". Not sure what other category is appropriate.
Thank you Andrew, I was able to locate the group I wanted using the auto-complete feature! This is a great work-around. I should add, though, that this indicates another shortcoming in the GUI, that I did not realize there was an auto-complete feature until you mentioned it. When I click the drop-down arrow, I cannot type anything or autocomplete anything. Only by double-clicking the text of the group name can I get a cursor at which to type.

User / group names should auto-complete in the GUI if you type in the first few characters of the name.
