Open Liftgate With Doors Closed

[Pitter]

I find I cant open the lift gate with the dash button when sitting in the car with the engine running and transmission in park when doors are closed. If I open the door the button will activate the lift gate. I could swear that in the past I was able to. Whats going on?

Unlock the doors.

Look at the settings. There is an option there, when you switch to P, the doors unlock automatically, when you switch from P to Drive, doors are locking etc. Maybe you've changed something and forgot about it.
