...inside the group. Does that Custom Field Name change in other groups - or is it only within the scope of a Group.

So For Instance:

Group Name: Game Reviews
Custom Field Name: Gameplay Score
Field Slug: some_generic_field1

Group Name: Smartphone Reviews
Custom Field Name: Reliability Score
Field Slug: some_generic_field1

So, in a smartphone review, I want to display "Reliability Score" with the same slug but the differentiator is the group name while on the Game Review I display Gameplay Score.

Am I making any sense?

Hi Radford,

You wont be able to do this. You can't have a different Custom Field Name and use the same slug. The name of the other custom field will be overwritten.

Best regards,
Bruce
