[OpsMgr 2012 R2] Changing Target Group in Process Monitoring is failing

Today, I've encountered an issue with a process monitoring.
The case has been detected because the targeted group that was enabling my process monitor has been deleted in SCOM... and the result is an error message when editing the Process Monitor

Clicking OK is opening the properties and we can see that targeted group field is empty...

 You are also allowed to clik on the [...] button to select a new group.

 

The bug is that any activities on the targeted group field is not seen as a change on the monitor configuration and the Apply button is always greyed !At this step, you cannot save the change and also your new targeted group cannot be saved.

A work-arround is to edit a field in an other pane, for example in the Running Processes pane and you will see that the Apply button has been activated.

 

 Applying the change at this step will save your new targeted group change.



You can easyly reproduce this with no group deletion - just try to change the targeted group by an other and you will see that the Apply Button is always in grey state meaning the the change is not 'seen' by SCOM and you will not be able to save the new conf.


By the way, Microsoft has been informed and a bug will be openned to the developper team... to be followed !
