Creating new vertex groups no longer works. Vertex groups created in previous sessions still work

Here’s a video of the problem: https://youtu.be/cXuP5uqtbWk

In the video, “Resize Y” Vertex Group was created from a previous session. All vertex groups I created from a previous session still work. Any new vertex groups I create now do not.

The Problem:
When I create a new vertex group and try to utilize it in Object Modifiers or Geometry Nodes it no longer works as intended. Any old Vertex Group I created from the previous day work, as seen in the video. But any new vertex groups I create in old or new objects now no longer work in Geometry Nodes or any modifiers.

What I have tried to fix the problem:
Using new vertex groups in new objects with different types of modifiers.
Using new objects with new Geometry Nodes attempting to utilize the new vertex groups.
I have tried restarting blender. I have tried clean up → purge unused data.

Please help.

Thank you!

Well, the group seems to be created just fine - you can select it, right?
But since you assigned Weight = 0 to it, the modifier has zero influence over these points

Increasing the weight to the newly created vertex group still does not work. And all my old vertex groups have a weight of 0 and they still work as seen in the video.

Never mind this worked after increasing weight and then recreating the vertex group! Thank you so much!
