I’m trying to add subsections to my panel plugin config. I can see a bunch of the built in Grafana plugins are doing this for configuring their legends, tooltips etc. Unfortunately PanelOptionsEditorBuilder.addNestedOptions doesn’t actually create a subsection like I was hoping. Visually there seems to be no difference between using addNestedOptions and just using a bunch of addBooleanSwitch with paths of foo.bar, foo.baz, foo.xyz. Anyone have any ideas?

By setting the category property in the options builder:
You’ll get something like this:
