Default Mute button greyed out in edit window

Can someone explain to me why my mute button on a certain track is greyed out? Any mute automation I do to this track doesn't work.

Control- click on it. The automation has been disabled.

Ctrl+Cmd+click the mute button to activate automation again. It's a toggle shortcut.

Ahh, sorry about omitting the Ctrl key. I wasn’t sitting at my rig when I wrote that

No worries. It's all about muscle memory. Most of the time I don't know what I'm hitting, but somehow it works.

When you use the term "mute button", it's perhaps important to note that it's not actually a mute button. It's simply a popup menu selector that is currently selected to display the mute automation lane.
