Hi,
it would be very nice to group fields in content types > manage fields tab.
Illustration:

Users can add/edit field groups. Fields could be attached to a group.
Groups should have the following properties:
Checkbox: "Required group"
Dropdown: "Number of values" (Maximum number of values users can add)
When creating a node (node/add/) users can add this group of fields as often as set in the group properties "number of values".
Illustration:

There is a module (field collection) that can group fields but it is circular and the user loses the clarity because its seperate from the content types > manage fields tab.
We need this in core! :)

tstoecklerChanging title to be more specific. The screenshots in the original post are a bit confusing, because they are actually the default UI declared by the fieldgroup.module.
This issue is actually about field_collection.module in core (which was multigroup.module in D6).

klonosThe OP is indeed misleading, so let's leave this to duplicate of #501366: Add field grouping to Drupal core. I'm filing a separate issue and will be back in a couple of minutes to link to it. Stay tunned...
