Are there any "conflicts" with having a GFCI outlet on a circuit protected by a standard AFCI breaker (NOT a dual function AFCI/GFCI breaker)? That is, would the GFCI outlet cause nuisance trips of the AFCI breaker just by being on the same circuit, assuming no arc or ground faults are occurring anywhere in the circuit?
GFCI outlet ok on AFCI-protected circuit?

We had to do it that way before the dual function, so no problem with it. (other than having to use AFCI to start with)

Done all the time, not an issue per se.
