GroupBy automapper aggregation

Question

I\'m trying to map my entity into a new structure.

My entity looks like:

public class Settings
    {
        public int Id { get; protected set; }

Here is the working demo , you could refer to

SettingsProfile

public class SettingsProfile:Profile
{
    public SettingsProfile()
    {
        CreateMap<IGrouping<string, Settings>, SettingsToReturnDto>()
            .ForMember(dest => dest.Domain, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Key))
            .ForMember(dest => dest.Elements, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.ToList()));
        CreateMap<Settings, ElementsToReturnDto>();
    }
}

Controller

public class ValuesController : ControllerBase
{
    private readonly SeeMiddleContext _context;
    private readonly IMapper _mapper;

    public ValuesController(SeeMiddleContext context, IMapper mapper)
    {
        _context = context;
        _mapper = mapper;
    }

    public IActionResult GetSettings()
    {
        List <IGrouping<string, Settings>> settingsFromDB = _context.Settings.GroupBy(s=>s.Property).ToList();

        var settingsToReturn = _mapper.Map<List<IGrouping<string, Settings>>,List<SettingsToReturnDto>>(settingsFromDB);

        return new JsonResult(settingsToReturn); 
    }
}
