Configuring field groups allows you to customize and organize forms in the Prestashop back office.

Field group settings

Here are the main settings to configure when creating a field group, with examples for each part:

Name​

  • Description: The name of the field group, used to easily identify it in the back office interface. This name will be displayed above the form in the rendered view.
  • Usage: Choose a descriptive name that reflects the content or use of the field group.
  • Example: Additional product information

Slug​

  • Description: A unique identifier for the field group, used to retrieve field group data and distinguish it from other groups.
  • Usage: This slug must be unique within your Prestashop installation and is often used in the code to reference the field group.
  • Example: extra_product_info

Enabled shops​

  • Description: The shops where the field group will be available.
  • Usage: Select the shops where you want this field group to be active. This is useful for multi-shop setups.

Position​

  • Description: The position of the field group, useful for product entity.
  • Usage: Define the position of the field group within the entity form. For example, for products, this determines where the field group will appear relative to other sections of the form.
