Comment (by hnla):

 > #27 Let me know what you think and whether or not this solves your
 problem.

 It tests fine, as to solving problem I think it is a smart option to be
 able to have set in advance and certainly prevents accidental type
 selection, so all round a 'good thing'.

 The concerns with pre-existing groups not having a 'type' and columns in
 admin remaining blank are maybe unfounded, it feels wrong but then nothing
 will break as a result, there may be use cases where it's best that all
 groups do have a type though but I can't see that for sure at this moment.
 and we would have to run some form of update over all groups setting to a
 'default'.

 My pressing concern is that I do think the creation step initial screen
 must house the Name, Descrip, and type as the three fundamental  pieces of
 info before we create a group_id then checks on the other steps can be
 made to bail out of custom group steps more easily or adjust subsequent
 step screens.
