svc.startd(1M) says
startd/ignore_error
The ignore_error property, if set, specifies a comma-
separated list of ignored events. Legitimate string
values in that list are core and signal. The default is
to restart on all errors.

I assume you mean property_group elements. They should be used whenever
you need to create a property on a service which is not already covered
by another element (like dependency, dependent, or exec_method).
