Problem/Motivation

I want to be able to edit an html element and link field groups. I need to be able to change the settings, customize classes, etc. Also this means that

Steps to reproduce

Go to a paragraph's display settings. Create 4 levels of html element groups with some fields inside. Save, try to click the gear to configure/edit an html element. It pops up an ajax error:

And it never opens up to allow editing the settings.

Proposed resolution

We did discover this similar issue with the bootstrap field group module:
https://www.drupal.org/project/bootstrap_fieldgroup/issues/3191992 β†’
And when we made that change in the field_group module locally as shown here, it fixed the issue:

$field_group_types = field_group_formatter_info();

Remaining tasks

Need to determine if there is a downside or a better fix to this issue.
