This because multiple actions of a step are all lumped together. I don't remember if the issue was modifiers colliding or ordering or what.
That is totally game specific. If you're playing WoW, assist does not need to be in a separate Step. If you're playing SWTOR, separate steps are usually required. Part of the problem for SOME games (including with SWTOR) is that the "Hold" option needs to be enabled for modifiers to be processed correctly by the game; with the Hold option enabled, modifiers would be a problem for anything else in the same Step that wanted to use a different (or no) modifier. Another problem sometimes is needing to do the assist with a 2-button sequence; one to target who to assist, and one to assist your target.
So, right, depending on the game you may not be able to build auto assist into an attack button (regardless of whether that happens to be via a Menu button or not)
