That works for me all day long.
And it was more in reference to your first post:

You can simplify as I show, you don't need a "write list" and a "read
list". If you make a share "read only" then it is read only by default,
yet those on the "write list" will have write privileges. The less
complicated, the easier to read and troubleshoot.

It looks to me like you have multiple smb.conf files and you're editing
the one the system is not using. Your last testparm still shows
a "force group" parameter but there is none listed in your share
definition. Also "available" is on by default, one less parameter you
can drop to make it all more readable.
