Feature request: "class" for section-groups

Topic summary

Feature request to allow a “class” key in section group schemas so developers can assign custom CSS classes to section groups, matching the capability already available for individual sections.

Context: In standard sections, a schema can include “class”: “my-section-class” to add a wrapper class. A code snippet is provided showing this working pattern for sections. However, Shopify section groups currently don’t support a “class” key in their schema.

Requested change: Extend section group schema support to include the “class” property for consistent styling and parity with sections.

Status: Single post with no responses or decisions yet; the request remains open with no official confirmation or workaround noted.

With sections, we can add classes to the section using an key in the json schema:

{% schema %}
{
  "name": "t:sections.example.name",
  "class": "my-section-class",
  "settings": []
}
{% endschema %}

however, with section groups, this is unfortunately not the case. It would be most useful if the “class” key was also supported for the sections groups schema.
