Can't select different shaders on materials

Hi.

I’ve got a custom shader and would like to add it to a material. I’ve created a material and placed it on an object. I’ve saved the shader in a folder called Shaders within my assets folder.

When I go to the material settings on the object (a simple plane) the “shade” drop-down menu is grayed out and when I click it, it just collapses the entire section. How do I get this menu to appear again?

Thanks.

And as always, right after I make the post, I figure it out… turns out I was in animation mode. So for anyone else that has the issue, make sure you’re not in animation mode.

Early morning caught me off guard… my animation window was moved to my other monitor and I didn’t realize I still had it going. I hit this thread before realizing what the issue was. So thanks! Saved me relaunching and not knowing why.
