When Material layer visibility is toggled on the Parent Material in a Material hierarchy, only the Parent’s layer visibility is affected, the children are not. Saving the Parent material has no effect on the layer visibility in the children either.

Expected
Parent and child materials in Editor viewport update
Actual
Only the Parent material updates and reflects whether the visibility is hidden or not
Saving the Parent material has no effect on the layer visibility in the children either.
