The bless/shield spells have their effect marked as disabled in the SRD. dnd5e automatically enables it when applied to actors. It does not seem to make much sense for those effects to be set as disabled and then have to override the setting during application.
I can imagine cases where the ability to apply the effect in a disabled mode would make sense (pending some other activation activity) and there would be no loss of functionality to mark those effects as not disabled in the SRD and remove the auto enabling of the effect.
I note that in the players' handbook spell compendium the bless spell effect is correctly marked as not disabled, but the shield spell is marked as disabled.
If possible a review of the effect status in the SRD/PH and marking as not disabled those spells that apply effects directly to the targets and should not be marked disabled.
