Blending Options Missing / Inaccessible in AE v23

[Aaron Brown]

I’ve noticed (only recently) that often layers are missing “Blending Options” under “Layer Styles”.

It seems to be in cases where I’ve copied and pasted a layer style from one layer to another or imported a PSD with existing layer styles.

I’ve used AE for decades and this feels like a recent development.

I can reliably make Blending Options reappear by adding a new layer style via the Layers menu (and then deleting it), but I wonder if there’s a way to simply toggle on Blending Options without going through a gimmicky workaround?

could it be that you have the renderer set to C4D? blending modes dont work with that.
