Custom Field Groups/Categories

When we have a kick-off meeting for a project, we assign specific team members from each department to work on the project. The project manager is the project owner and the team members from the different departments would be assigned to the different tasks within the project. To track who is on the Project Team, we are going to create custom fields for each department where a user can be selected.

I wish there was a way to group custom fields together (see example below).

When you open a project, the custom fields are in alphabetical order. I understand that if we were to view the project in table view we could make the Project Team filters show and rearrange the columns, but they aren't columns we would want visible in the table view as that is more for a quick overview of where a project is at. The fields are for reporting purposes and I would want it to be easily viewed when opening up the project view.

Hi Ashley Fischer, thank you for sharing your use case and suggestion here! 

After reading it, it felt to me that your feedback is similar to this post about the order of custom fields. If that's correct, could you please upvote it there too? It's currently being researched by the Product team.

The link shared only refers to re-ordering of the custom fields, not to group them. 

Is it really not possible to do so ?

Hey Nicolas 🙋🏻‍♀️
 
Thanks for sharing more details. Currently, it's not possible to group custom fields. As a workaround, you can use naming conventions or prefixes to simulate grouping by visually categorizing fields.
 
I have passed on your feedback to our product team. Thank you again!

This would be really helpful. We need a fair amount of custom fields and it's easy to get lost in the list when it takes a full screen to see all of them. Having the option to visually group then by category when reviewing the project details would go a long way to make Wrike enterprise grade ready. This feels highly chaotic.

Field Groups in the profile field was something I was going to post as a feature request but I see it has already been suggested previously and unfortunately did not get much traction. 

Was there any consideration made to add the ability to add Categories or Groups to item types so that we can easily display fields without needing to add prefixes to our fields?  We have over 100 fields and even with prefixes it starts to look like a sea of data.  The search feature is handy, but the additional level of organization would be excellent!

So I would have to create a custom type object to be able to group custom fields? Just putting a digit in front seems a much lighter lift. Ugly though (primitive).
