# How to use PropertyGroupItem

I was browsing the docs when I ran into something interesting: bpy.types.propertyGroupItem

This is what the doc says about it:

Property that stores arbitrary, user defined properties

I did a little digging around but couldn't find anything else about it. It sounds very interesting but I have absolutely no idea how to use it. Could someone give an explanation of what this is and when to use it?

• Instances of MyPropertyGroup as seen in that example can store two properties, custom_1 and custom_2. The instances of these properties are PropertyGroupItems. You don't use that type however, it's handled internally. See here for properties in general: blender.org/api/blender_python_api_2_75_release/bpy.props.html – CoDEmanX Aug 29 '15 at 22:57
• @CoDEmanX That makes a lot of sense, thanks! – Isaac Aug 30 '15 at 0:14
