Hi, if you render your scene, you should get the attached error. In this case, Decal doesn't work because the object's material is Corona Layered Mtl, not Corona Physical Mtl. Note that the issue only appears if you use custom "affect material" options in the decal.

I understand that in this case we would expect the decal to work because the materials applied to the Layered Mtl are Physical materials, so I have reported it to devs as (Report ID=CC4D-1107).
