How do I programatically move a property to the default property Group?
How do I programatically move a property to the default property Group? I've tried:
```
var ct = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentTypeService.GetContentType("Page");
ct.MovePropertyType("alias",null);
ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentTypeService.Save(ct);
```
but it does not move.

Hey Muz

Are you meaning you want to move the property to another tab?

Yes, that's easy if the 'another tab' is a named tab, but if it's the built in "Properties" tab I can't figure out how to do it.

Hi,

I think you have to remove it from the group it is in, when a Content Type is in no group then it's shows up in the Generic Properties one.
```
ct.PropertyTypes.RemoveItem(oldTabName);
```

actually you just call RemovePropertyGroup on the content type.
```
ct.RemovePropertyGroup(existingTabName);
```

@Kevin When I try RemovePropertyGroup It removes the property that was in the group also, rather than putting it into the default 'Properties' group.
