    • Note: In order for Duplicate Modifiers to work, the “Maximum” number of allowed choices must be 2 or greater. For example, if Group A has “Minimum” choice of 1 and “Maximum” choice of 1, selection is limited to 1 which prevents staff from adding a duplicate. If Group B has a “Minimum” choice of 1 and “Maximum” choice of 2, then a second or duplicate choice is permitted.
    • Tip! Easily assign a custom label to each modifier group. Tap a Description and type a label name. For example, Group E can be labeled Flavor. See: Label a Modifier GroupGroup e modifier highlighted
