Steps to resolve

1. For multiple Group Element Selection:

(a) Open the Administrate Groups Dialog and go to Settings and tick on the "Edit multiple" option. In CONNECT Edition go via Steel > Home > Classification > Groups.

(b) Then Go to Groups Tab and click on Edit Group Data. 

And it will ask to filter or select the groups in you model. After selection, if you click, the Group
properties dialog box will open and it will allow you to change or modify the property for multiple Groups.
