    Description

      The way the group selector works is not intuitive.

      I am not sure I understand the functionality completely because each Group has its own ID (why?).

      I suggest to simply use a single text area to enter all group definitions, similar to the simplification we did for Labels and values. Let me know if the following would work:

      ---- Technology
      High Tech:high-tech
      Low Tech:low-tech
      ---- Insurance
      Health Care:health care
      Home:home
      Car:car

      The above example would mean you render a dropdown with two groups. If you need keys for the individual groups, you could use the same notation as for the field entry (but I don't see why you need them)

      This would significantly reduce the complexity for the end user in building multi-select, grouped drop down menus and feel much more natural because it mirrors the way one would write such groups in text.

      I have set this to blocker as the current way of doing it is not what I want to ship.
