Auto cleanup custom Controller Service properties?

I ran into a fairly rare situation. While working on a custom Controller Service I removed a previously present property from the code, and this specific Controller Service does not support Dynamic Properties.

Like a Processor, the property now shows up as a custom property at the bottom, but since the Controller Service is not flagged for Dynamic Properties, there is no way to remove it.

Is this a situation we should care about, in case we do remove a property from a controller service in the future and otherwise leave users with re-creating all affected controller services to resolve the issue?

Thanks,
  Peter

Bryan,

That wasn't the behavior I was seeing, but then when I went and tested it again, that was the behavior I saw.... so never mind.

I believe you should still be able to delete the property with a delete icon next to it.

This should be the same behavior for processors when a property is removed, regardless of dynamic properties.
