Internal unused via pad suppression on power layers not working

WelshMart

I am using 17.4 S020. I cannot get the dynamic unused pads suppression to work on my power layers, pad suppression is setup and works on my signal layers.

My power layers are defined as planes in my stackup.

I have the "Unused Pin Suppression" and "Unused Via suppression" enabled on all signal and power layers in Cross-section Editor.

My via has "Suppress unconnected internal pads" enabled in Padstack Editor.

I have watched the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-bxKfwb0Qc&t=61s which shows how to setup pad suppression, the example uses both planes and conductor layers.

In the video example, it shows that planes and conductors can be setup for pad suppression. But then it only shows the result on a signal layer, not on a power layer.

I have followed how to setup pad suppression and it works on my all my signal layers but does not work on any of my power layers.

Any ideas?
