Content type group

Log in to add to favourites

Content type groups are used to organise related fields within a content type definition. For entries, this organisation appears as tabs in the entry editor, while in forms these groups are rendered as pages.

Each group is defined by a name, ID, and description. The name is displayed as the tab or page title, and the description appears at the top, providing context before the fields are shown. The ID is an internal reference that becomes permanent once saved and cannot be modified.

Properties of a group
