# DF8103: Dock Entry Cannot Group Itself

## Message

> Dock entry "`{id}`" cannot set groupId to its own id

## Cause

A dock entry registered with `groupId` pointing at its own `id`. `groupId` is a pointer to a *different* group entry the entry belongs to, so a self-reference would describe an entry that collapses under itself.

## Fix

- Point `groupId` at the `id` of a `type: 'group'` entry, such as `groupId: 'nuxt'`.
- Omit `groupId` entirely to keep the entry as a normal top-level dock entry.

## Source

- [`packages/hub/src/node/host-docks.ts`](https://github.com/devframes/devframe/blob/main/packages/hub/src/node/host-docks.ts) — `DevframeDocksHost.register()` and `update()` throw this when `view.groupId === view.id`.
