General
When you create a new instance of an entity, properties are displayed in the groups you defined with this metadata. The same groups are also used in the property panel.
To configure this metadata, you first must create groups that you wish to use. These groups are not fixed to any property and therefore can be reused in different use cases. For example, a default group called General can be used in several different entities. Once you have created your groups then you can use this metadata to assign your properties to it. You must attach this metadata to every property in a specific entity that you wish to be grouped.
The groups, when displayed, are not ordered. If you wish to order these groups, you must use the Group Priority metadata. This metadata is configured at the entity level. That is, you assign this metadata to the entity in which the properties have been grouped.
