Can´t switch multiplying settings in Output Module

Hello community,
I have unfortunately encountered an export problem. For years I have been rendering EXR with a straight alpha multiplying, but since a few days the function is grayed out. The error occurred sometime during version 23.4 and still in 23.5 no different. Was there an official change that passed me by? Is there a workaround? With some formats you can still adjust it, so for example with Quicktime ProRes4444, however this is of no use to me, since we have and need an Aces workflow. Unfortunately I can't find anything about it. The error occurs with multiple accounts in the office.

Is it a bug? Am I too stupid? (probably anyway...)

I appreciate any advice.

Thank you

    Hello!

    OpenEXR supports only Premultiplied by spec so the "Color" dropdown has always been disabled by default when you have "RGB+Alpha" selected.

    But there is a workaround, please see https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/how-to-export-to-open-exr-with-alpha-chanel-without-being-premultiplied/td-p/10739301

    You probably did the workaround before but the preference file wasn't migrated into the new version of AE.

    It seems like a bug from the latest update. Lead Generation Accountants might have some insights, though!
