Group

A group bundles several fields together so that they can be reused across multiple models. You create it on the Schema screen and define its fields per group. You add it to a model as a field through the “Group” field type. A model references a group’s fields rather than copying them, so changing a group’s fields is reflected in every model that uses it.

Group name

The group’s display name. Must always be set when creating the group.

Group key

The key that identifies the group. It must be 3 to 32 characters and unique within the project. You can use alphanumeric characters, underscores, and dashes.

Group description

A description of the group. Set to supplement the group’s purpose.

Field types that can be set

The following field types can be set on a group. For details on each field type, see Item Field Types.

• Text
• TextArea
• Markdown text
• Int
• Float
• Boolean
• Option
• Date
• URL
• Asset
• Geometry Object
• Geometry Editor

The “Reference” and “Group” field types cannot be set on a group.

Multiple values on a group

When you set “Support multiple values” in Field Attributes on a group field, one item can hold more than one set of the same group. This is a different setting from setting the same attribute on an individual field inside the group.

Deleting a group

A group cannot be deleted while it is used by a model’s field. To delete it, first delete the field that uses the group from that model.
