Group Option

The Group option is a container used to organize related options into logical sections within the jamovi analysis panel.

Description

In the jamovi UI, a Group option does not represent a data value itself. Instead, it acts as a visual container (often with a title) for other controls. This is essential for keeping complex analyses organized and readable.

YAML Properties

Property	Type	Description
`name`	string	The unique name of the group.
`type`	string	Must be `Group`.
`title`	string	The heading displayed above the grouped options.
`items`	array	A list of option definitions that belong to this group.

R Implementation

The Group option has no direct R implementation for data processing, as it is a UI-only construct. The options contained within the group are accessed directly via self$options$optionName, regardless of their nesting in a group.

Examples

1. Define in YAML

- name: optionsGroup
  type: Group
  title: Analysis Options
  items:
    - name: check1
      type: Bool
      title: Perform normality test
    - name: check2
      type: Bool
      title: Perform homogeneity test

2. Implementation in R

Access the nested options as if they were at the top level:

if (self$options$check1) {
    # Normality test logic
}
