Vertex color import problem

Question

I’m trying to import vertex colors from Blender via gltf.
The vertex colors are definitely coming out of blender (I can re-import them back in fine) and I can also see them when I double click the file in godot (screenshot) but for some reason the color is not used when rendering, neither in the standard shader nor in my visual shader.
Am I blind and missing a toggle somewhere to actually import the color?

Thanks so much!

but for some reason the color is not used when rendering, neither in the standard shader nor in my visual shader.

If I understand correctly, vertex colors should not be used in rendering. They are not visible visually. But they can be used in the shader for visual movement. Example:

BaseMaterial3D has a vertex_color_use_as_albedo flag that’s false by default. Maybe make it true and see if that fixes it?

As you can see in the screenshot, that toggle is axctually on - it’s also doesn’t seem to work in a custom shader.
