Storing objects in custom properties

Hi

I have a number of groups containing a varying number of fields, ie 1
group would have 6 fields, another group 35 fields and yet another 50
fields. I want the user to be able to select any of these groups they
wish and place them on a card.

My initial thought was to store the groups on a separate card and copy
the chosen group as required or hide them on the same card  but then I
thought 'Why not put them into custom properties?'

My problem is that I can't get it to work. I can put values, images,
files into custom props but not groups or field objects. Have I, as I
suspect, come across one of the few things that you can't put into a
custom prop or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.


Regards

Ian
