I wanted to add an outlet in my WC, where GFCI would make sense. I researched as the circuit I tapped - MBR - was on an AFCI breaker. All evidence I found was that it was no issue, so I installed the GFCI outlet. It’s been approximately a year with no issue. GFCI tests normally with my plug in test device without tripping main circuit, and AFCI tests normally at breaker box.
