Form section that saves to a json column

Hi! I'm trying to make a form with a section that has different details based on a type, kind of a form within a form. Is there any way to wrap fields within it to make it available as a json object I can save to a column? My example is different integrations, so an integration record has a name and logo, and then a type like "facebook" or "google ads". When choosing a type I set a set of fields for that platform as the credentials is different. I'm not going to query on the credentials at any point so it seems better to just save it in a json column rather than having unique table for each type and using relations. Is there any way in filament to wrap a Section or Grid or something so all fields within the section to be saved as json instead of just adding the fields to the $data array?

This should be possible with statePath(): ```php Group::make([...

This should be possible with statePath():

    Group::make([
        // fields here
    ])->statePath('my_json_column'),

    Group::make([
        // fields here
    ])->statePath('my_json_column'),

I think this applies to Section and Grid as well.
