@technicat applying a modifier to the Group does not turn the Group into a single element, it applies the modifier to each element in the Group. So:

Group {
Text(“Hello”)
Text(“World”)
}.accessibilityElement(children: .combine)

Results in something like:

Text(“Hello”).accessibilityElement(children: .combine)
Text(“World”).accessibilityElement(children: .combine)

So it “works” it’s just probably not what you’re looking for.
