Issue Title:

Allow New Users to Join Multiple Groups Upon Registration from the Frontend

Description:

Currently, Joomla allows administrators to assign new users to multiple groups from the backend. However, this functionality is not available on the frontend during the user registration process. I propose an enhancement to enable the selection of multiple user groups at the time of registration from the frontend.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. A new user registers on the site through the frontend.
2. During registration, the user is automatically assigned to one default group.

Expected Result:

The New_User_Registration_Group field should allow for the selection of multiple groups. As a result, when a new user registers from the frontend, they should be able to be associated with multiple predefined groups simultaneously.

Actual Result:

Currently, the user is only able to be assigned to one group during the frontend registration process.

System Information:

Additional Comments:

This enhancement would streamline the process for users who need to be part of multiple groups, reducing the need for administrator intervention post-registration.

There are extensions available for this

If you have multiple groups in your system then this is for a reason. You want to give users different rights or they should have access to different parts of the system. This isn't something you can fully automate, it needs user interaction.

I might oversee something here so I am not closing this but convert it to a discussion to find out what the goal for it is or understand better the requierements/use case.

Admin can add new user during assign multi group in Administrator area.
So in this scenario admin can set multi group for new user in Backend.

Now why admin can't able similar scenario for Frontend?

Some of samples can manage with how to define groups and access (Parent and Children), it means without any change we can cover many scenarios. The thing that is very important is flexibility of Joomla. We don't know how to think an admin. Flexibility for Joomla is power. Admin can category users via group. so maybe some scenario needs new user assign to multi groups at entry.

For example:
Parent group = Registered
1st child group = Students 1st entry
2nd child group = Students 2nd entry
3th child group = Students 2024
4th child group = Students 2025
...

One school every year want every student that register, assign to {year}&{entry} groups. This year assign to 'Students 2024' and '1st entry' group at same time (during registering). And one term (period) latter, admin set new user assign 'Students 2024' and '2nd entry'. Next year assign to 'Students 2025' and '1st entry'. Next term (period) assign to 'Students 2025' and '2nd entry'. At the end that school has statistic of every year and every entry.
If admin can filter multi options is very good. this issue need new issue item. filter_form can select multi options for groups. adding two date (calendar) field (from date - to date) registration date.

Another Sample:
Parent group = Registered
1st child group = Physics
2nd child group = Mathematics
3th child group = Chemistry
4th child group = Robotic

An learing institute want every new user assign to 'Physics' and 'Mathematics' after register-at same time (during registering). and every users that wants to assign other groups must do something that admin accept them, for example pay money for 'Chemistry' or send article for admin email.
In this site every user groups has group chat tool. so this is not only access matter, assigning to groups is matter.

Another Sample:
default group = Registered
1st sibling group = Base
1st child of 1st sibling group = Level 1
2nd child of 1st sibling group = Level 2

Admin need assign 'Registered' and 'Level 1' at same time. Default group kept for 'Author' role and ... . in this site all roles will be need.
