No properties are definied by these groups (but an update campain is defined on the passiv group)

Error is

[2022-10-06 16:46:53+0200] ERROR policy.generation - Error while building target configuration node for node 'c8e2c037-78df-4530-8f3a-db7d337517c9' which is one of the target of rules.
 Ignoring it for the rest of the process <- Inconsistency: Error when looking for parent group '57e9a28c-8e0c-41f1-b7fa-2847c19f35d4' of group 'Active group' [191510ea-c276-4e19-9c34-3

happen in 7.2, maybe in earlier versions

Workaround: you can implement that behavior as rule site in place of at group site, by having in the include part of the rule "all nodes" and in the exclude part of the rule the group which was in the group criteria inverted.

analysis: the error is during node properties resolution. The code says "I don't find the group in the property hierarchy for which we told to NOT look for (invert). So in that case, we should just say "that group does not take part of property inheritance".
