Move an annotation/metadata field to a different group after the fact ​
Where fields are located in the UI is dependent on the metadataFieldGroups and annotationGroups. This means that to change the location of a field through BlackLab, you would have to reindex your data. Understandably this is annoying, so the Frontend has some basic functionality to move a field:
js
vuexModules.ui.actions.helpers.moveAnnotationToGroup('word', 'Basics');
vuexModules.ui.actions.helpers.moveMetadataToGroup('myMetadataField', 'Date');
