Changing the type of group will result in its conversion. Any custom group can be converted to a
dynamic group if it was static, and vice versa.

When converting a static group to dynamic, provide grouping criteria. All the members that exist
in the static group that do not match the provided criteria will be removed from the dynamic
group.

When converting a dynamic group to static, two options are available – either to leave the
current content of the group or to empty the group.
