# Feature: #99212 - Group select item in FormEngine via TSconfig {#feature-99212-1669896293}

See [forge#99212](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/99212)

## Description {#description}

The existing TSconfig feature `TCEFORM.{tablename}.{fieldname}.addItems`
can now be used to add new items into existing select item groups by using the
`.group` sub-property set to the group identifier. This grouping is
usually shown in select fields with groups available.

## Impact {#impact}

When using the TSconfig `addItems` feature, the `group`
property can now be used:

Example:

```typoscript
TCEFORM.tt_content.layout.addItems {
    new-layout = My new layout
    new-layout.icon = icon-identifier
    new-layout.group = special
}
```
