What can you do if you want to reuse a field group in a different schema?

To reuse a field group in a different schema, converting it to a datatype is a method that allows the field group to be utilized across various schemas. When a field group is converted into a datatype, it becomes a defined structure that can be referenced or instantiated in different contexts, which is particularly useful in a scenario where you want to maintain consistency in data handling across multiple schemas. By transforming the field group into a datatype, you can ensure that any schema using it adheres to the same data types and definitions, thereby supporting data integrity and standardization within the platform.

In contrast, cloning a field group would generate a copy of it specific to the existing schema, which does not solve the issue of reuse in separate schemas. Deleting the original field group does not provide a solution for reuse; it merely removes the group altogether. Exporting it as a template is also a useful option but may not provide the flexibility required to implement the field group as a datatype in multiple schemas, as templates often serve more for design than functional implementation across various contexts. Thus, converting a field group to a datatype facilitates a more systematic and efficient reuse across different schemas.
