You need to apply a material that uses the landscape layer nodes to your landscape actor. ---

Hi , Depending on how you set your material up that may not show up. You have to use layer blends to create that list, which will show up in paint mode after you set the landscape to have your layered material. If you are using world aligned blends without any layers or weighted layers, this will not appear. ---

Hi Asad\_kaleem, Can you show me a screenshot of your material setup? Additionally, what steps are you taking to paint the material on the landscape? ---
