I don't see an issue with reserving an IP inside the DHCP pool range.
Nice try but you are wrong. We did follow this suggestion in the past and it caused a lot of users annoying problems because this assumption is false.
Cheers, Franco

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I click on the plus symbol on a DHCP lease to reserve it, the IP address (that has already been assigned to it by DHCP) isn't being populated in the next page. I have to either copy it or remember it before clicking the ➕ button. Is that a bug or some sort of strange design decision?

Additional context
I don't see an issue with reserving an IP inside the DHCP pool range. Especially if the IP has already been assigned by the DHCP, I can be sure there isn't going to be an IP address conflict. I know there is potential for other issues like network performance and configuration errors particularly in large networks, but in this context (my home network with only a few devices) I don't see an issue
