Problem with DHCP Static Mappings

[RickNY]

Is it possible to add a UI element to have the option of forcing the previous behavior?  IIRC, prior to 21.1 - if I tried to add a static mapping that was inside the designated pool ranges, I would get a warning that I couldn't do so.. Am I wrong here?  Apparently, I missed the "dhcp: removed the need for a static IPv4 being outside of the pool (contributed by Gauss23)" release note from back then -- and I have assigned MAC address to IPs in my pool range -- only to discover that other devices were grabbing reserved IPs when the original mapped devices were powered off.

I'm not even sure what the rationale was of removing this requirement if the underlying DHCP service didn't actually reserve it..  Now I'm in the process of remapping my static maps and setting up new pool ranges -- and in the future reminding myself that I have to make sure myself that I dont statically map in those pool ranges.

Thanks
