Hey folks, I’m glad to be part of this forum. My question: I want to add additional groups to the custom fields. Currently, you can only select from “Core, Social, Personal, Professional”. Any way we can add more groups? Thank you for your help! ---

Good question. No, it is not possible to add new lead field groups right now. ---

@escopecz I think I will build an extension for it because this is critical to my operation. What is the best way to build it, as a plugin? ---

I’m not sure if it will be doable with a plugin, but you may try. The dev docs are at [https://developer.mautic.org/#plugins](https://developer.mautic.org/#plugins) Simpler would be to implement it into the Mautic source code directly and sent a pull request. ---

Is this possible yet? Did you write the plugin rodfernand? ---

- 1 It’ll be great to create additional groups. Especially when one would like to manually update a contact, and not have to crawl through many different (custom) fields. An option to sort these fields would be a plus. ---
