Automatic Lookup, matching on multivalue not working?

I'm trying to configure an automatic lookup and match multivalue field of IP addresses (in the lookup) on an IP field (in the SPL results). The lookup is a KV Store, and the definition targets that collection.

When I run the lookup definition manually, it works fine.

index=my_index eventtype=my_event_type
| lookup lookup_definition ip_mv AS ip OUTPUTNEW dns

However, when I create an automatic lookup using the same information, it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

I discovered the issue. KV store collections need to be replicated to leverage automatic lookups.
