Creating a modification group – Help Centre

A modification group is an item that contains a list of related modifiers, and is the means by which those modifiers are associated with a modifiable item.

For example: You may have a modification group called Meat temperature that contains the modifiers Rare, Medium-rare, and Well-done and allows the item Prime steak to be modified.
