So i have been deploying cisco FDM managed firewalls. I noticed an interesting bug with DHCP and 7.x code. If install a config via a backup, configure via API and upload a config, or deploy a template to a 7.x code using CDO to the firewall it botches DHCP. Clients will run through the entire scope and request every IP address. Its a constant DHCP Decline via wireshark. Has any else seen this? I can duplicate it and have. If i stick with 6.6 code it seems to work.

personally, i will not use FW as DHCP Server, but sometimes requirements may change.
Since this is new code, there may be bugs around worth looking at below release notes :
if this is a major issue worth contacting Cisco TAC.

It ended up being something with NAT. Without the destination interface specified in the nat it cause a major DHCP malfunction.

It gets better, if i put a static ip from the same subnet it tells me another device has that IP. Something is really messed up. I have one device plugged into the firewall port.
