Supports added to individual parts are ignored

I want to print a collection of 26 small parts all at the same time. All the parts are shaped differently. Some require supports while others don't. I attempted to add supports to some of the parts by right-clicking a part and selecting Support material. No matter what I select for the part specific support settings in combination with the global Supports setting, the manually added supports aren't generated when I slice. If I select Everywhere for the global Supports setting, I get supports everywhere except for the parts I manually added supports to.

I'd greatly appreciate some help.

That video shows how to use support enforcers and blockers. I was hoping to learn how to use the Support material command which seemed like a lot less work.
