Short description of error
Please see the attached movie. Using the "wrong" menu will cause the material properties panel to become unresponsive (beginning of movie) with overrides still in place until you use the outliner (end of the movie).
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Result:
The material overrides aren't cleared, but you also can't access the properties panel anymore.
Expected:
The material overrides should be cleared.
Workaround:
Use the outliner instead.
Managed to make a repeatable example:
BREP_1_2.002 already has the greyed out override icon, a result from clearing it from the Object menu. You can no longer make it a local object when it's in that state.
Select any other object and use the clear from the object menu to replicate it.
And similarly, instead using the context menus in the outliner properly clears the overrides.
I have not yet found any workarounds for getting an object out of that darkened, disabled state.
One thing to note perhaps, is a bug I haven't managed to make a reproducible file for, but you can see in the video here that in one of my files (which I can't share), when I attempt to make overrides on some linked objects, duplicate objects which are already "greyed out" like in this report gets created:
#110742 (comment)
Library Overrides can be hairy, agreed, will try to understand what is going on
I think there was similar report, but perhaps for different outliner feature. Closest I was able to find is #101802. In any case outliner often does things differently things than operators in 3D viewport menu.
Well the main difference is probably the fact that you can only do "selected" from the menu (whereas you have the choice of "selected and content" from the Outliner).
Doing only "selected" does the same as reported here from the Outliner afaict.
However, I'd like to inspect the whole behavior here, it boils down to these two operator descriptions (and if they work as advertised:
Also note once overrides are marked non-editable, you can always re-enable editability in the Outliner as well:
So, lets break this down into smaller pieces
Think, this is even true without having tried to clear the overrides, I believe this is due to parent relationships, so if you link an object that has a parent in the source file:
I reported this separately in #111439
Will look at the material next.
Btw. : have you checked enabling the overrides again (see screenshot above)?
