APM Policy Sync

Hey all. I posted a similar question a few weeks ago, it went unanswered but relates to this post.

https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/apm-policy-sync-synconly-group-56512

I do not see the same behavior. The APM policy change from a syncOnly group member does not automatically sync the APM policy to the other members. Syncing from Device Management does nothing. Syncing from Access Profiles -> Policy Sync does indeed sync the policy but the "Apply Access Policy" link appears on the other syncOnly members. The policy does not get automatically applied after syncing. v12.1.2HF2.

Auto sync and full sync are checked on the syncOnly group.

Any ideas? Thanks.
