Why doesn't custom field group show in schema editor with field under it?.

[MichaelJo13]

I created a custom field group (arp) and added a field, "menuArr". What I don't understand is why doesn't the schema editor show the new field group as a node under "_Irf" Also the path for menuArr shows as "_irf.menuArr" I would have expected the path to be "_irf.arp.menuArr" The right rail does say it's assigned to the "arp" Field Group.

Thanks

How did you create the new field group?  Was this via the API or UI?

Can you show the new field group you created?

It was by the UI.

Hi @MichaelJo13 ,

This is working as designed as the name of the field group is not added to the paths of the fields grouped under it. If there is a hierarchy that you'd want to see in the field paths in a field group you'd have the create that hierarchy using Object data type while creating the fields for your field group.

So, for creating field path as "_irf.arp.menuArr" within a field group name "arp" you'd need to follow below steps,

• Create a custom field group named "arp"
• Add a field to this field group with below settings,
  • Name: arp
  • Type: Object
• After this step you should see field "_irf.arp" appearing in your schema. Click on + sign next to this field to add another custom field with below settings,
  • Name: menuArr
  • Type: String //or any other type of your choice

Once you complete these steps you should see the path hierarchy "_irf.arp.menuArr" that you are expecting. You can follow Add fields to a field group documentation for better understanding this process.

Cheers!
