Modifier Groups allow the user to organize specific modifiers (or products) and attach them to a parent product. The modifier group can be configured to allow specific behaviors of the modifiers within the group.
Modifier groups can be assigned to multiple products, or even modifiers. When a modifier group is attached to a modifier, it allows the user to access a sub modification of a modifier within a modifier group. Any product within a modifier group will also carry with it the modifier groups assigned to that product.
The system is built in a way to prevent a user from being able to build an item as a modification of itself, so not all products or modifiers are selectable when building a modifier group.
