IF IT LOOKS WRONG

The group will not save

Every modifier needs a price. Fill in 0.00 for the free ones, then tap Save again.

Staff can skip a required choice

Min is set to 0, which makes the group optional. Set Min to 1 or more to force a selection.

The group does not appear at checkout

Saving the group only adds it to your library. Open the item and attach the group to it before it shows in the order overlay.
