Output color space transform via mercury transmit.

Where is the implementation of display color space transforms via mercury transmit? My second monitor is now useless if I want to use OCIO color management. Why does it not follow the displat color space set under the compostion window?

The workaround is to use OCIO display transfrom either on an adjustment layer or in a comp one level up. It's not ideal as you can't view both UI and external monitor at the same time with them looking the same.

Hello? Adobe? Anyone? Any chance you could address this massive oversight?

Did you ever find a solution for this?

Yeah, that's not going to cut it. How can an artist work if they have to continually swap comps to see what they are doing? Huge oversight from Adobe. We've been leaning more into other tools like Fusion these days. I guess that will be the case more and more.
