Description

System Information
Operating system: Linux-4.15.0-50-generic-x86_64-with-debian-buster-sid 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 410.104

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.80 (sub 74), branch: master, commit date: 2019-06-20 22:36, hash: rB197661c7334d
Worked: 2.79 with create group

Short description of error
Running the operator Create New Collection or pressing CTRL+G allows you to type in a collection name but no collection is actually created.

The expected behavior is for a new collection to be created (with the selection inside it) and for its name to match whatever is typed in until the operator window closes

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Press CTRL+G or run the Create New Collection operator
  2. Type any collection name
  3. Observe that no collection is actually created

@Finn Bear (finnb) The collection gets indeed created and correctly named, it simply doesn't get added to the render layer.

Similar to 2.7, you can find it among the collections in the object tab of the properties editor and in the Add menu, or also in the outliner if in "Blender file" or "Data API" mode.

I think there should be a checkbox in the operator saying "add to render layer" but I guess its absence is not technically a bug.
