title: Magento 1.7 CE - change group of custom attribute in product
body: <p>I added a custom attribute in the products table:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$installer-&gt;addAttribute('catalog_product', 'custom_attribute', array(
      'group'             =&gt; 'General',
      'type'              =&gt; Varien_Db_Ddl_Table::TYPE_VARCHAR,
      'backend'           =&gt; '',
      'frontend'          =&gt; '',
      'label'             =&gt; 'Custom Attribute',
      'input'             =&gt; 'text',
      'class'             =&gt; '',
      'source'            =&gt; '',
      'global'            =&gt; Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
      'visible'           =&gt; true,
      'required'          =&gt; false,
      'user_defined'      =&gt; true,
      'default'           =&gt; '',
      'searchable'        =&gt; true,
      'filterable'        =&gt; true,
      'comparable'        =&gt; true,
      'visible_on_front'  =&gt; true,
      'unique'            =&gt; false,
      'apply_to'          =&gt; 'simple,configurable,virtual',
      'is_configurable'   =&gt; false
  ));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It shows up correctly in the <code>general</code> tab of the product edit screen.<br>
  I should have created a new custom tab for this attribute.
  How can I change it so it shows up in a new custom tab?</p>
  
  <p>Saw this similar question here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15981168/move-a-product-attribute-to-a-new-group-in-magento-admin">move to another group</a><br>
  But the group does not exist yet.</p>
