To test I set up a clean WordPress install 4.8.1 with only plugins activated Meta Box 4.12.3 and Meta Box Group 1.0.6.
I used the sample code from the documentation and get this error:
Notice: Undefined index: field_name in /Users/wh/MAMP/test-wp/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/meta-box-group/class-rwmb-group-field.php on line 59
