Grouping properties into sections within a Display Group Name

So Optimizely have the functionality to group properties together in tabs using the Display attribute with Group Names as described in their docs.

But in a site i'm working on we are looking for a way to group properties into sections within a Display Group Name. We have a content type for opening hours, where each day of the week has five different types of opening hours properties, so the ammount of properties are overwhelming and hard to navigate for editors.

Is there any standard functionality for doing this, or has anyone done anything similar? Any suggestions or advice is much appreciated!

Standard no. But to better group properties etc many developers use Local Blocks, Jon has a good article about this, see https://www.jondjones.com/learn-episerver-cms/episerver-developers-tutorials/episerver-blocks/the-difference-between-a-shared-block-and-a-local-block/

To achieve the functionality you are doing I'd probably construct something using IList with a custom class, see https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/docs/property-value-list
