Schema field groups

Open shrunyan opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Many times a schema has a set of fields which are related. As it stands now fields are just listed out based on a user defined order. There is no additional context which would help explain a set of fields.

Describe the solution you'd like We could allow the creation of "groups" which would just be a value defined on a fields settings JSON. When two fields have the same "group" they would be displayed together. This would allow for this feature without any additional API work.

There should be a visual which shows the concept that these fields are grouped. This visual should be displayed in both the Schema and Content Apps.

One con to this solution would be that additional group data, e.g. a group description, would be tricky to implement. As either one or all fields would need to have the same description stored.

Grouped fields should still follow their defined order within the sub-context of the group.

Describe alternatives you've considered
