In Drupal 6.6/CCK 6.x-2.0-rc10, It is not obvious how to add a field to a fieldgroup. When you first create a fieldgroup, and you create the fields for it, it is not apparent how to add the fields to the fieldgroup. It took me over an hour to finally figure out that I had to drag the field below and to the right of the group.

To reproduce:
1. Create a new content type.
2. Go to "Manage Fields" for the new content type.
3. Create a new fieldgroup.
4. Create one or two new fields.
5. Observe: the fieldgroup and fields are all listed on the page, but there are no instructions or anything else describing how to put the new fields into the fieldgroup.

I found at least one other issue report that brought this up (support request, now closed), so I'm not the only one:
http://drupal.org/node/317705

On the #drupal-support IRC channel, Senpai suggested that I write up this usability issue, and also update the wiki on http://groups.drupal.org/node/14755, which I have done. Thanks to Senpai for helping me.

Right, it seems this is not obvious :-) It is explained th the 'advanced_help' pages, but that's probably a little deep-nested.

I added a small note at the top of the page :
"Add fields and groups to the content type, and arrange them on content display and input forms.
(added:)You can add a field to a group by dragging it below and to the right of the group."
