Is it possible to add a section group to page json? For example, I maxxed out the number of sections for a page. I created a section group of type custom.about-us. I want to add that to page.about us.json but I keep getting errors that the section is not part of sections but it is.

Is it possible to do this? If so what is the syntax to add the group to the page json?

What’s the exact error being thrown? Ensure the section is also included in the order list at the bottom of the .json file.
