Optional Names Handling is disabled

Hi
When I copy the usaddr ruleset and just use it as is without customizing it, I see that the optional names handling is disabled

I changed the permission of the files under the quality folder to match the USADDR files

Any reasons why it is disabled.

Has anyone run into this before
