Magento 2 Product Edit/Add admin form custom section

Question

I'm learning UI component.

I want to add custom section in product edit/add backend form so for that

I've created following files.

vendor/module/view/adminhtml/ui_component/product_form.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <form xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Ui:etc/ui_configuration.xsd">

Vendor\Module\Model\Config\Source\TimeSetup.php

<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Model\Config\Source;

class TimeSetup extends \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Source\AbstractSource
{

    protected $_optionsData;

    /**
     * getAllOptions
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function getAllOptions()
    {
        if ($this->_options === null) {
            $this->_options = [
                ['value' => 'one', 'label' => __('one')],
                ['value' => 'two', 'label' => __('two')]
            ];
        }
        return $this->_options;
    }
    final public function toOptionArray()
    {
         return array(
            array('value' => 'one', 'label' => __('one')),
            array('value' => 'two', 'label' => __('two'))
         );
     }
}

It's showing in backend properly as I wanted but when try to save product it's not saving this field value.

Do I need to create Attribute "monday_time_group"? Is this proper way to do so? How can I get the value of this in frontend for Product?

UPDATE:

I've created attribute monday_time_group but still not working.

Okay finally I've resolved this by myself here is the full code of my module...

Using above code, Data saving properly, Only issues I'm facing now is that These attributes are appearing in General section as well in my created custom section which is "Testing Group" so as of now I've hide them from General section using CSS.

Answer 2

From what I see here there is nothing special about your attributes.
They are regular ones.
You can simply add the attributes monday_design_from, monday_design_from and place them in a separate group.
I recommend you do that via code and not manually because I assume you will have logic on these attributes.

Here is an example on how you can do that: https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/162115/146

The only thing you need to change if you want your attributes to appear in a separate section is to add in the configuration array this

'group' => 'Time',
