Cannot add Groups from the Edit Pen dropdown menu that was created in the Dynamic Pens editor in the Easy Chart Customizer. You can however, enter a group name into the Edit Pen dropdown. Strange why it can be done both ways.

You need to have a group for the pen(s) to be in before you can make that group dynamic.
