function onCustomizeSections(args) {
    args.addSection({
        title: "Section Title (Custom)",
        items: [
            {
                dataField: stringProperty.propertyName,
                label: {
                    text: "Button Group"
                },
                template: DevExpress.Dashboard.Designer.FormItemTemplates.buttonGroup,
                editorOptions: {
                    keyExpr: "value",
                    items: [
                        { value: "value1", text: "Value 1" },
                        { value: "value2", text: "Value 2" }
                    ],
                }
            }
        ]
    });
}
