Change Group Type

Certified Lead Developer
Hi All, Is there any way we can change the group type of a group already created without affecting the dependent rules?

Thanks.

  • @hiteshd To the best of my knowledge, the answer would be it really depends on certain things and a few of them are as follows:

    1. How often did you depend on groupType to retrieve the groups? For instance, did you configure the security/visibility of any objects to depend on the groups that belong to only certain group type?
    2. Did you use the attributes of the Group Type? If so, did you depend on querying the groups based on the attributes or did you depend on the values of the attributes of the group anywhere? If so, this kind of queries will fail if the new Group Type doesn't have those attributes that the old Group Type possess.

    It's really hard to conclude until and unless there is some one who knows how the Group Type and its associated attributes have been used through out the entire application.
