So you might be wondering what the use case for custom field dividers is. Is it actually useful? The answer is yes, it can be useful!
If you use a lot of custom fields in Backbone to keep track of everything, you can use CF Dividers to:
Review, enter, and consolidate data more efficiently
Increase your organization of data into segments or teams: Technical Design, Product Development, Merchandising, Planning, etc.
Improve reporting efficiency
