    As far as I recall, you cannot define a dynamic group using inherited properties.  We have had to do contortions to get around that restriction as well.  You might be forced to create a propertysource that assigns auto.XX properties and then use that to define the dynamic group.  I am not sure why this restriction exists, never have received a satisfactory answer.

Yes, understood,  but most often it would be beneficial to allow (with some sort of rapid add/remove iteration blocker) and you must go through contortions to get around the restriction. Like copying a property to an auto.X property via a propertysource.  In this scenario, it would behave the same, just perhaps slower :).  I would be fine if the system disabled all dynamic groups associated with a device until the add/remove rate dropped to zero.

Totally agree.
