How to override an existing group of res.groups model in Odoo12?

I need to override an existing group in a custom module and change just it's implied_ids field in another custom module. I tried to use the same code in my module with the changes in implied_ids but I had bellow error. Then I tried to use inherit_id field but is raised duplicate id error again. Bellow is the original group in a custom module:

<record id="group_hms_jr_doctor" model="res.groups">
            <field name="name">Jr Doctor</field>
            <field name="category_id" ref="module_category_hms"/>
            <field name="implied_ids" eval="[(4, ref('acs_hms.group_hms_nurse')),(4, ref('acs_hms.group_hms_receptionist'))]"/>
            <field name="users" eval="[(4, ref('base.user_root')), (4, ref('base.user_admin'))]"/>
        </record>

and I want to just remove (4, ref('acs_hms.group_hms_receptionist')) section from it. I tried bellow code, but this errors raises.

odoo.tools.convert.ParseError: "duplicate key value violates unique constraint "res_groups_name_uniq"
DETAIL:  Key (category_id, name)=(68, Jr Doctor) already exists.
" while parsing /home/ibrahim/workspace/odoo/hms/nl_hms/security/security.xml:5, near
<record id="group_hms_jr_doctor_inherited" model="res.groups">
        <field name="name">Jr Doctor</field>
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="acs_hms.group_hms_jr_doctor"/>
        <field name="category_id" ref="acs_hms.module_category_hms"/>
        <field name="implied_ids" eval="[(4, ref('acs_hms.group_hms_nurse'))]"/>
        <field name="users" eval="[(4, ref('base.user_root')), (4, ref('base.user_admin'))]"/>
    </record>

How can I override any existing groups and changes it?

To update an existing records you should give the full XML-ID of that records (include the name of app), and to remove an item from many2many field use 3 command, this will remove the item from x2many field but doesn't delete it from the database:

<record id="acs_hms.group_hms_jr_doctor" model="res.groups">
    <field name="implied_ids" eval="[(3, ref('acs_hms.group_hms_receptionist'))]"/>
</group>

what will happen here is Odoo will call write on res.groups and 4 command is used to add record to x2many field this will not effect the field at all because the record all ready exist.

You have to set the other custom module as dependency in your custom module and then just "override" the values in need by using the full external ID in record node.

<record id="acs_hms.group_hms_jr_doctor" model="res.groups">
    <field name="implied_ids" eval="[(3, ref('acs_hms.group_hms_nurse'))]"/>
</group>
