Add a recipe group substitution

If the recipe group that you would like to substitute with does not currently exist, create one:

1. Create a new recipe group.
2. Save as a group
3. Now, you may use this newly added recipe group as a substitution
4. Remove the newly-created recipe group. This will just remove it from the current recipe without permanently deleting the recipe group.
