List action options for Zoom, Flash and Pan missing when list in backed by a data expression.

In my Dashboard running on Esri Enterprise I have a list that is backed by a data expression that is doing a GroupBy() to get a Feature set that has compiled data for feature names. Lists that reference the map layer itself have actions for Zoom, Flash and Pan, but the list backed by the data expression only has the filter option. I checked our AGOL instance and the same thing happens there.

Is there anyway around this?

When you use GroupBy, the resulting FeatureSet has no geometry. The actions you're looking for require a single geometry object to work against. It's possible to have a Data Expression output geometry, but to do it along with grouping will be quite complex and will take considerably longer to evaluate.
