How to change the type of a Rule? E.g. from Bug to Code smell

Thanks Vicky for the reply.

I am very new to SonarQube and the server setup is also not done by me. I am just using the sonarscanner on my local machine to analyze my code and need to update the rules as per the architect’s suggestions. I do not have access to Sonarqube server and not sure if I can do what you have suggested regarding plugins.

Could you please share some more insight or maybe some link where I can get more information about how to get the plugin for a particular rule. This rule is part of a custom Quality Profile that I have created and need it to be implemented whenever the analysis runs on my code.

Thanks for your help.
