Screen Space Decals ignore Rendering Layer Mask when using OpenGL Graphics API
Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “IN-102917” project
2. Open the “Samples/Universal Render Pipeline/17.1.0/URP Package Samples/Decals/PaintSplat/PaintSplat” Scene
3. Select the “Cube” GameObject in the Hierarchy window
4. Make sure “Decals” layer is not selected in “Rendering Layer Mask” option under “Mesh Renderer” component in the Inspector window
5. Observe the “Cube” GameObject in the Game View
Expected result: Decals are not rendered
Actual result: Decals are rended
Reproducible with: 2022.3.62f1, 6000.0.50f1, 6000.1.6f1, 6000.2.0b3
Reproducible on: Ubuntu 24.04, Windows 10

Resolution Note:
Thank you for reporting this issue regarding screen space decals and rendering layer masks in OpenGL.
After investigation, we've confirmed that while URP's Screen Space Decals do use Rendering Layer Masks, this functionality is not supported when using the OpenGLCore Graphics API. This is a documented limitation of our rendering pipeline.
For reference, our documentation states: "Rendering Layers are not supported on OpenGL and OpenGL ES API." You can find more details in our URP documentation here: [https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/urp/features/rendering-layers-introduction.html]
If this functionality is important for your project, we recommend switching to another supported Graphics API such as Vulkan, DirectX11, or DirectX12, where rendering layer masks for decals work as expected.
We appreciate your detailed report which helps us improve our documentation and user experience.
