It is imperative that you do not top post. Nobody will reply to your posts
in the future if you continue to top post. This is my last reply to a top
posted message, not trying to be rude, but your message gets replicated to
thousands of people, so we all try to make them as uniform and unobtrusive
for everyone ok?

As or your issue, I just tested it on the demo. 

This assumes you want to base the difference on prod_group

Click ITEMS. 
Click an item with a "FOO" prod_group. 
At the top of the page near the yellow ducky, click <item editor>
Click the "Edit Page" tab
Change "Custom View from Field" to prod_group
Click OK to save
Click ITEMS

Click item with "FOO" prod_group
Edit the meta information to change label text, widget type, help text, etc
Click OK

Click item with "BAR" prod_group
Edit the meta information to change label text, widget type, help text, etc
Click OK

When you click on an item with FOO prod_group, you will see you "FOO
prod_group" customizations. And vice versa

I think the DEMO rebuilds every so often. It may be that your attempt (that
you emailed me about) on the DEMO got reset before you could see the
changes? Try again.
