Since the 1.8.0 update, I can only select from the first six skins of any skin pack. When I click on the plus sign, I can view all of the skins in a skin pack, but cannot "Confirm" any of my selections. Any thoughts?
Some additional information - All skins CAN be selected at the title screen! The Confirm button is operating properly. This issue only occurs in-game when trying to select skins.
In the attached images, note that Mario can be selected in one instance (prior to clicking the plus symbol to look at all skins in a pack). If the plus symbol is clicked, all skins can be viewed, but the Confirm button is disabled for all skins.

The Confirm button is disabled. I'll try to attach some "screenshots" (pictures of my TV unfortunately; the Switch will only share screenshots with Facebook and Twitter, but I use neither).
Please bear with me: I'm not very familiar with the Switch, which has complexities because of how it can sign on using either a Nintendo account or a Microsoft account and how purchased content from Minecraft Switch Edition had to be transferred. You might want to review MCPE-34633 for how these complications have affected other Switch users in similar circumstances.
When this issue occurs, are you signed in using a Nintendo or a Microsoft account? I believe you can only use Marketplace content when signed in to a Microsoft account. Also, did you purchase the Mario Mash-Up in Switch Edition and transfer it to Bedrock Edition?
I appreciate any help you can provide, no apology necessary. You are correct; downloaded skin packs can only be accessed when logged in using a Microsoft account. I can confirm that I am using such an account (the skin packs are "locked" otherwise as if they aren't purchased).
I have reviewed the issue linked in the last comment - this is not related to broken textures or particular skin packs. All textures look great, but none of my skin packs are working properly anymore.
I am running Minecraft from the physical game card - I never downloaded the obsolete console edition and so haven't imported anything. The Mario pack (as well as 3-4 other packs) were pre-installed. I have since added other skin packs from the Store. None of the skin packs are working as intended (in that I can only choose from the first 6 skins in each pack).
You've provided good, clean information—thank you for that—but I'm afraid I don't know enough to go further with this. I'll pass it on to a moderator who understands the Switch better. It may be a day or two before he can get to it.
My suspicion is that there is a real bug here that only applies the Switch, I just can't confirm it myself and so far nobody else has reported it (but that could be simply because most people don't change their skin very often).
I've found a work around. As mentioned prior, player 1 can select their skin from the main menu and can pick from the entire pack not just the first 6. The issue comes when player 2,3 and 4 want to do this.
To fix this I had to launch minecraft as player 2's account. Select the skin they wanted from the main menu. Then closed the game and re-launched it as player 1. When player 2 then joined the game the skin they had chosen when they launched the game remained.
Note: player 2 will need a nintendo switch (free) online account. (Not a paid online subscription, just a registered account) and then this should work.
Hope this helps
Just to be clear - is the issue only affecting additional players that want to change their skin from the in-game menu?
I will have to confirm later today, but I thought this issue was fixed with the 1.11 update. I'll post again when I get the chance to confirm.
What happens when you try to click Confirm? Is the button disabled, or does it fail to change the skin image above it, or does it change there but when you go back to the menu your skin goes back to the previous one? If you're able to provide a screenshot of the skin picker, that might be helpful.
