    },
    {
        "label": "Button 3",
        "command": "echo 'Button 3 clicked'"
    },
    {
        "label": "Button 4",
        "command": "echo 'Button 4 clicked'"
    },
    {
        "label": "Button 5",
        "command": "echo 'Button 5 clicked'"
    },
    {
        "label": "Button 6",
        "items": [
            {
                "label": "Button 1",
                "command": "echo 'Button 1 clicked'"
            },

                "command": "echo 'Button 2 clicked'"
            },
