Has using `type: group` in plugins become ineffective?

I tried using it in a plugin, but it didn’t work. The input field behaves like `text` instead of the expected `select`.

Has `type: group` been deprecated?

```plaintext
  quectel_online_customer_general_customer_group_id:
    default: ""
    type: group
    client: true

```
