Why CZ Armored Brigade Can't Have Attachments?

Why can't the CZ armored brigade have support units attached, and is there a setting in the Editor I can change to fix this?

Best Guess: Because it is a multi-role unit itself, that can be converted to a support unit. I’m guessing support units on the support units would cause issues

But British and Canadian multi-role armored and tank brigades can attach support units. There's something weird about either this unit or its TOE that I can't figure out.

Dennis,

BR, CA, and PO tank brigades, armoured brigades, and armoured brigade groups all can have support units attached. Also the NE and BE units. This only seems to be a problem for the CZ brigade.

Likely a nationality block in the code. Old code for example didn't allow Axis Allies to have support units (modified in WitE2).
