I am updating some old code in a library of mine that takes a generic xarray DataArray/Dataset, converts it to a geoviews `Dataset` and then call:

```auto
gvds.to(gv.QuadMesh, kdims=["longitude", "latitude"], vdims=vdims, dynamic=dynamic)

```

Where `dynamic` comes from the user. The issue is the logged warning:

```auto
Setting non-parameter attribute dynamic=False using a mechanism intended only for parameters

```

As best I can tell this is because `dynamic` is a `groupby` kwarg, but in this particular case where groupby isn’t used (Dataset dims equal len(kdims)). I’ve seen through various other discussions, stackoverflow questions, and issues that for style-related kwargs there are other options, but with this actual operation keyword argument I’m not aware of another way to pass this `dynamic` keyword argument without assuming some inner operations of holoviews/geoviews (ex. check number of dims of data before passing `dynamic` or not passing it). How do I avoid this warning while still handling generic input data and user provided arguments?
