Im trying to access the 2nd dropdown menu from Camera Lens Blur Effect Layer
"ADBE Camera Lens Blur-0010"
My issue is that I am unable to access the second dropdown, the Source/Masks/Effects & Masks dropdown. I am trying to automate a process and part of that is changing that dropdown to "Effects & Masks".

The following is my code out of context but should be enough to explain the use case. In my case I am working on an extension and the ffx files will live within the folder structure of the extension.
var ffxFilePath = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION) + "/ffx/cameraLensBlur.ffx";
var ffxFile = new File(ffxFilePath);
selectedLayer.applyPreset(ffxFile);
Figuring this out has actually expanded how I will be using this in the future for applying multiple effects set with specific parameters with one click from a button in a custom interface.
Hope this helps someone!
