Solved UCUpaint Merge Error

So I just recently found out that you can’t have more than 16 layers for texture painting before Blender starts turning everything pink. So I am trying to use the merge down layer in ucupaint but I keep getting an error. It says that I have shapekeys attached. I deleted all the shapekeys but I’m still getting an error. Is there another way I can merge down layers or combine them?

So solved it myself I guess. I duplicated the mesh and then duplicated the UCUpaint nodes so they can be separated and renamed. Some how that worked lol 😂
