By default, a field labelled “Title” is added, and is required for each content group item.

Recommended Workflow
Please note that once a content group has been populated, you cannot edit the fields used, so this a recommended workflow:
- Create your content group fields
- Create a test item in your content group
- Ensure that your content group fields match your needs
- Delete your test item
- Modify your fields accordingly
- Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you are happy with your content group fields.
