Make a feature if player is in the non legacy group role

As a Roblox developer, it is hard to check whether or not the player is on the developer team using the new group roles. That’s why this feature request is issued. It is whether or not Roblox can add an API that check if a player is in the developer group role using the new group role feature.

Currently, Player:GetRoleInGroup(...) uses the legacy group roles instead of the create.roblox.com role.

Our development team is dependent on the new group role from the creator dashboard.
My suggestion is that make a API that checks if player is in the role ID. Like:
Player:IsInGroupRoleId(ROLE_ID)

Returns true or false (or even nil if player wasnt even in the group) when the player have the role or not. This will be effecient because instead of manually checking the role name (which it has so many issues), it checks for the role id itself, since the group role can change name which checking the group name once it changed itll be ineffective.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience or others because using the old group roles is costs a lot of robux and inefficient.
