You are unlikely to find a plug-in because frankly the group type isn't that important. The main reason to have a group type is to define attributes for groups, which is pretty rarely used. It's better practice to store information about groups in a database because it can then be queried the same way you get other data.

In general I'd suggest using custom groups, and unless you have a specific concern with a group that is the wrong type, I'd recommend not going through the effort to create a plug-in for this purpose.

The consensus I could find through searching old posts when I wrote my previous reply, is that this functionality is currently not possible directly nor included in any existing plug-in, though someone at some point did point out the technology which could be used by someone to create a new plug-in to do this.

So basically it looks like you'd either need to create the plug-in from scratch (i'm afraid I'm not much help there), or find a different way of accomplishing your end goals.

I would suggest searching old posts - this question has been asked several times, including once within the past few days.

Do we have any existing plugin to change Group Type? If yes, please provide the link to AppMarket page. And also let us know how to install the plugin.
