Setting

Description

Name

The name of the Field Group as it appears in the Page Tree and as it is referenced in JSON.

Meta field pattern

A string that is prefixed to the Meta Field names of all fields contained within the Field Group. In the case of a repeatable group, add an index counter to the pattern. Examples are on the right.

Tip: To access values of fields from within the Field Group use model.parent.value["Local Meta Field Name"] .

Repeat

If selected, repeats the same group of fields several times.

Configure a Meta Field Pattern with an index counter, to use a repeatable group correctly.

Number of repetitions

A specific number of groups that are initially displayed to the user.

  • Can be zero. In such cases the group’s name and fields are not visible.

  • Only the Add button is shown to the user if Allow adding is selected.

Allow adding

If selected, shows Add and Remove (as an X icon) buttons to the user.

  • The Add button is below all repeatable groups on the right.

  • Remove icon is next to each group at its top right, depending on the Minimum repetitions setting.

Add button label

A label that is used for the Add button.

Remove button label

A label that is used for the Remove button. The X icon cannot be changed.

Maximum repetitions

A maximum number of groups that the user may add. Empty or value -1 means that this setting is ignored.

Minimum repetitions

A minimum number of groups that must remain present.

  • Remove icon is shown only next to those groups that are above this number. For example, if the minimum number is 2, then the user will not be able to remove the first and the second groups but will be able to delete the third, fourth, etc. groups.

  • Empty or value -1 means that this setting is ignored.
