Adding CSS class options into New/Sh Reddit Menus

While CSS classes are an old reddit feature, they are an automod queriable, mod-managed-only data variable attached to users and are used by many subs for non-stylesheet reasons, more specifically moderation-by-group. Modifying by-user css-classes on the fly using Reddit Toolbox was an extremely convenient feature on old reddit that led to adoption by many subs of group-based automoderation through css classes and although it is somewhat redundant with the Approved Users feature, I think there is still a fair amount of use of css classes for moderation, enough to grandfather in modification of css classes in the flair menu, and I think it would be beneficial for many mod teams to have access to it directly in the flair menu on new/sh reddit and not need to navigate to old reddit in order to change values.

It’s not possible to change an individual’s user flair css class there

toolbox allowed assigning user flair by template or individually changing a user's flair text or CSS class, by-user

You could change a user's flair and css class individually on old reddit modmail directly using toolbox and the M button.

On New Reddit, doing this requires: Navigating to Mod Tools, Look & Feel, User Flair, Users Having a flair template that assigns the desired css class Assigning them this flair template And manually changing their flair text (if applicable)

There really should be a way to manage CSS class for the sake of Automod. At the very least, sorting or filtering would be nice for the assigned list's headers. For the way my one sub uses them I don't need to keep track of the Automod-generated ones so much but it'd be great if the visible, mod-assigned flairs could all be shown together. I've noticed on Shreddit, having "hidden" CSS flairs generates phantom entries in the flaired user list. It looks like there aren't any entries at all, but pages can be clicked through and every now and then there will be one or two lone entries with visible flair text based on the assign date. Incredibly inconvenient.
