Dashed lines not displaying

This is new and odd. When I create a dashed line it shows correctly.

As this is part of a packaging dieline the strokes need to overprint the artwork.

When I switch to Overprint Preview the stokes view as solid, and when I switch back they remain solid, but still show as dashed in the Stroke panel.

Only when I view the Separations of just that spot color does it show as dashed again.

Using Illustrator 29.6.1

What is the appearance applied to the layer?

Can you show the appearance panel for that path?
