Why my opentype features are not visible in the quick access dropdown in Indesign?

Rafał Buchner

Hi, I'm having issue:

I'm working on VF font that has some named stylistic sets.

I'm exporting it with fontmake, and when opening it in Adobe Indesign I can access features only through Character>more options button>OpenType>stylistic sets.

When I'm trying to access it via this quick access dropdown (that appears when highlighting text), I'm getting "opentype properties not applicable". Is there anything I could do to fix it?

For clarity, this is the missing contextual menu Rafal means.

Thanks for the illustration, @Diana Ovezea — I didn't know that feature existed.
