Allow for Groups to be placed inside of Dynamic Groups

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
To be able to group things more easily inside of Dynamic Groups I would like to put Groups into them.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow for groups of auras to be placed inside of Dynamic Groups.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative solution that does work today would be to combine any auras you would put inside a group into one aura itself. This would prevent issues with potential grouping/sorting issues you could have should you just add multiple auras into the dynamic group that would otherwise be grouped. Putting things into a single aura is possible for most things, although it could make the aura a bit less readable and it would require more complex trigger logic than otherwise.

Additional context
image
Take the above image, in Dragonflight when making my "rows" I want to use Dynamic Groups to better handle the amount of choices on the talent tree. For Row 2 for example I might have 10 "groups" of auras, but only display 6 at a time to account for player choice and spacing.

Each of these groups of auras typically involves multiple auras per "talent"/spell. Most of these are a combination of Cooldown tracking, and the corresponding aura in the same "space". For example, the Power Infusion spot in "slot 3" is actually two auras in at the same position; one for the cooldown of power infusion and another for the active buff tracking. Auras like this can certainly be combined into one, given adjustments to trigger logic and extra conditions, but it would make building these either if I could just make a group for these and toss it into a Dynamic Group.

We want to eventually enable groups in dynamic groups (and dynamic groups in dynamic groups, etc.), but there aren't any immediate plans to do that. Certainly not before DF, so I strongly suggest updating your aura making skills is required for DF.

I really think this would be an incredibly powerful feature. With it you could practically create entirely dynamic UIs

Any chance we’ll get this feature in the near future? Would make things so much easier for me 😅 Great job as always regardless!

No, no plans to add that in the near future.

Thanks for the quick reply! Won’t get my hopes up anytime soon in that case 😊

This would be so good.

I also have groups of aura which takes only an icon size spot. Even if it is grouping 5-10 auras in the group. For layout purpose, it would be so much easier to be able to add the group inside a dynamic group and handle the layout via this dynamic group.
