Sonata Admin : Add more groups to the service pool's list

In SonataAdmin, the documentation lists three ways of puting custom items in the menu: by configuration, by menu providers, and by events.

Using configuration (or providers) means specifying groups by hand in config, like this:

sonata_admin:
    dashboard:
        groups:
            news:
                label:                ~
                label_catalogue:      ~
                items:
                    - sonata.news.admin.post
                    - route:        blog_home
                      label:        Blog
                    - route:        blog_article
                      route_params: { articleId: 3 }
                      label:        Article

But as soon as you declare a non-empty groups array in the config, it overrides the auto generated groups, guessed from the Admin Service Pool.

Is there a way to add groups by hand in the config file, while keeping the groups defined by Admin Services?

Thank you everyone for your time.

The answer is no.

The only option is to use the item_adds entry inside of a group. But that doesn't solve the initial problem.

My advise: do not use auto generated groups. Instead, define them by hand in the config, with some nice built name like sonata.admin.groups.news and them refer to them in the service declaration:

        tags:
            - { name: sonata.admin, manager_type: orm, group: sonata.admin.groups.news, label: "News" }
