field-group

Defines a field group. A field group is a convenience element that enables you to:

Re-use field definitions

Instead of adding many identical field definitions (field elements) to different panels you can create a field group containing the field definition, and then just add references (ref-field-group elements) to panels.

Group related field definitions

You can then add whole sets of related field definitions to a panel with a single ref-field-group element.

Syntax

<field-group
    name="NCName"
  >
  <field>...</field>*
</field-group>

The following forms of the field element may be used: Complex field, Basic field, Boolean field, URI field, Schedule field, Number field, Link field, Enumeration field, Date field, Collection field, Inherited field.
