Dimming Group with Button Rule does not update level in Group

C8 - 2.4.3.158

I have four smart bulbs in one fixture assigned to a Group. I have a Zooz ZEN-71 as the switch for the fixture, which has Button Rules to dim the Group when Button 1 or 2 is held then released. The group of bulbs dim appropriately, but the Level of the Group itself does not update to the new level. It remains at wherever I set it manually within the Group Device page.
Help?

This is expected; startLevelChange() (and stopLevelChange()) just send that command to either the Zigbee group or individual devices within that group. Level is not one of the attributes that flows from any group member device back up to the group (switch is the only one I can think of that does, and even that depends the options you've selected); only a "Set Level" on the group itself will change the level attribute on the group device, consistent with what you see.

Thanks for the clarification. I have some other rules triggered off the Group Level change, so I just triggered them instead off one of the devices.
