Subject: bug#33566: 26; `group' :type for defcustom
Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2018 12:44:56 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <09947acd-9d28-44c8-9fa0-c5cd4a4ee569@default> (raw)
It seems like defcustom composite :type `group' does not work.
See https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/46357/105.
emacs -Q
(defcustom foo '(1 2 3)
"..."
:type '(group integer integer integer)
:group 'emacs)
M-x customize-option foo
Shows this message in *Messages*:
custom-variable-value-create: Bad format
And buffer *Customize Option: Foo* is not complete. I see only this:

Custom settings cannot be saved; maybe you started Emacs with '-q'.
For help using this buffer, see Easy Customization in the Emacs manual.

The doc says that :type `group' should be very similar to :type `list',
but without tags.
