Is nested groups allowed?

Is nested groups allowed? I didn't find a word about this in the documentation.

And when I tried this:

Group::make([
    Group::make([
        Input::make('data.test1'),
        Input::make('data.test2'),
    ]),
    Group::make([
        Input::make('data.test3'),
        Input::make('data.test4'),
    ])
]),

got error "Undefined array key "name""

Did a little research and found that there's a way to fix this (if it's a bug). I'd like to make a PR to add this feature, if it's welcomed

Hi! Could you please help me understand something?

I noticed that the following example:

Group::make([
    Group::make([
        Input::make('data.test1'),
        Input::make('data.test2'),
    ]),
    Group::make([
        Input::make('data.test3'),
        Input::make('data.test4'),
    ]),
]),

should essentially divide the fields into four equal parts and look the same as the more concise version:

Group::make([
    Input::make('data.test1'),
    Input::make('data.test2'),
    Input::make('data.test3'),
    Input::make('data.test4'),
]),

So visually, there shouldn’t be any difference.
And if we want some fields to be wider or narrower, we can define that using widthColumns, for example:

Group::make([
    Input::make('data.test1'),
    Input::make('data.test2'),
    Input::make('data.test3'),
    Input::make('data.test4'),
])->widthColumns('2fr 1fr 1fr 1fr');

Is my understanding correct?

Yes, you are right, but this example simplified for easier error reproducing. Original problem more complex.

I have custom field extended from Group, which is actially group with different template and some custom attrs:

class Section extends Group {
    protected $view = 'orchid::fields.section';

    public function title(string $title): static
    {
        $this->set('title', $title);

        return $this;
    }

    // etc
}

so the original code was:

Section::make([
    Group::make([
        Input::make('data.test1'),
        Input::make('data.test2'),
    ]),
    Group::make([
        Input::make('data.test3'),
        Input::make('data.test4'),
    ]),
])->title('example'),
