Property Group in Scheme Settings / Fields

When in schedules / Scheme Settings, is it possible to see what is the group name for properties in schedule's Fields? I have inherited a project with way too many properties which I need to optimize and I need to know that I don't delete something that is in active use. But all I see is the Property "Name" in the Scheme Settings.

 

The properties in this project are relatively nicely ordered in Property Groups but it seems that it doesn't matter in the Scheme Settings, which makes it really tricky to remove any Property safely from the project. Find & Select shows the Parameter Group name in the parentheses, why can't Scheme Settings do the same?

 

Is there any workaround? Or does anyone have any tips?

Yes, if you want to quickly find out what group the property came from, you can use the search bar at the top of the Add Criteria/Add Fields dialog box by typing in the name of the property.  It will tell you what group it is located in.
