Hi Sunny, to the best of my knowledge we cannot change a group type once a group is created. There is no plug-in or smart service for doing so. We need to delete the previos group and create the same by mapping the group type before final submit.

@sunnya To the best of my knowledge, it can be definitely changeable, but there hasn't been a OOTB smart service or Shared Component created so far for this purpose. But yes, you could develop the desired functionality by making use of the API function 'changeGroupTypeOfGroup' at https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/7.11/api/com/appiancorp/suiteapi/personalization/GroupService.html#changeGroupTypeOfGroup-java.lang.Long-java.lang.Long-.
I can see a reason why neither Appian nor Appian practitioners hasn't come up with the OOTB functionality or shared component of doing so because there could be potential danger of losing the attributes already associated with group (if any) which are very useful and essential (for instance, identify a group uniquely, or to retrieve a desired group when the group id is not present) while using dynamic groups.
