Short description of error
Create an edge or point attribute it gets selected in the list automaticly every time, when create a face attribute it does not get selected.

This is very inconsistatnt and makes it harder to make addons that use attributes.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
This works as expected when using point or edge:

When using face it does not get selected in the list:

This is my current workaround, very hacky and bad and should not be necessary:

def select_atribute(attribute_name):
    C = bpy.context
    ip_name = attribute_name
    named_attributes = C.object.data.attributes

    set_act = named_attributes.get(ip_name)
    C.object.data.attributes.active = set_act
    set_act_index = C.object.data.attributes.find(ip_name)
    C.object.data.attributes.active_index = set_act_index

        elif self.type == "Vertex":
            bpy.ops.mesh.select_mode(use_extend=False, use_expand=False, type='VERT')
            bpy.ops.geometry.attribute_add(name="Vertex_Group", data_type='BOOLEAN', domain='POINT')
            bpy.ops.keyops.atri_op(type="Assign")

        elif self.type == "Edge":
            bpy.ops.mesh.select_mode(use_extend=False, use_expand=False, type='EDGE')
            bpy.ops.geometry.attribute_add(name="Edge_Group", data_type='BOOLEAN', domain='EDGE')
            bpy.ops.keyops.atri_op(type="Assign")

        elif self.type == "Face":
            bpy.ops.mesh.select_mode(use_extend=False, use_expand=False, type='FACE')
            named_attributes = bpy.context.object.data.attributes
            attribute_name = "Face_Group"
            set_act = named_attributes.get(attribute_name)
            if set_act is not None:
                select_atribute(attribute_name)
            else:
                mesh = bpy.context.object.data
                mesh.attributes.new(name="Face_Group", domain='FACE', type='BOOLEAN')
                select_atribute(attribute_name)
            bpy.ops.keyops.atri_op(type="Assign")
