Blender Animations Import suddenly stopped working
I've been working on a project for a while, already had working armatures with animations and textures. I updated my model to a better model and imported that one with the same armature and animations. It was set up exactly the same as previous ones, it worked correctly, though was using some old animations as i would have to manually change my animation controller to use the new animations i made (i left my old ones in just in case). With it working i carried on working on things, however now when i try and import it there are only 3 specific animations that make it in.
Been wrapping my head around this because everything i have checked means it should do it properly, tried almost every combination of fbx export and also tried cleaning up my NLA's. Couldnt figure out whats wrong so i tried putting in my old model that i havnt touched since into the same version it was working with before even with Blender 2.7 which i know if there was any export differences, it would still be working but now that also only has a select few animations that make it into unity.
There is 85 or so animations. I'm at a loss here. I tried updating to a newer version of unity but didnt fix the issue, so reverted back to the one i was working on. Am using unity 2019.2.0.f1. The wierd thing it was working and then just suddenly stopped working. I'm half thinking there is something wrong with my unity installation. Any help would be appriciated.

Ok, so it seems that Unity or Blender does not handle actions the way it used to, something must have changed, or maybe i have it set up wrong somwhere, but to get it working, i redid all the NLA's in blender and specifically unchecked export "all actions". whatever actions are doing, it messes up the Blenders FBX export or unity built in blender to FBX converter. Which sucks as now the export/import times are a LOT longer. it works atleast, if anyone know why the actions alone dont work, please let me know, as its better to learn than just dismiss it.
