"Valet mode" would be activated and deactivated by putting the car key inside trunk lock and turning it to the other position (clockwise or counter clockwise). If I remember correctly, this causes trunk not to open with door switch or remote.

I have a D4, but there are VCDS settings that turn various things on and off, and my trunk button on the remote does not work now, and I did turn something off in settings. The foot wave and the button in the door work.

It might be able to be set:

(from my site

trunk remote operating - 46 - Comfort System

Close the trunk (a.k.a. boot) remotely using the key fob and/or interior trunk switch in the door (and retain the opening feature)
I did this because to close the trunk from the door switch, you had to pull and hold it until it closed, the change lets a single pull close the trunk
First go to Module 46 (central convenience), coding, long coding helper
byte 2, bit 2 "Comfort operation: Remote control active" should be checked, if it isn't, check it.
Then got to module 6D (Trunk Electrics), security access and enter security code "12345".
Then still in Module 6D, click Adaptation.
Now there are 8 channels to be concerned with, they all look pretty similar.
Basically you want to set "Tap" for closing the trunk with the door switch, and "Tap" for closing the trunk with the remote.

IDE02136-MAS04216 remote unlocking switch touch open
IDE02136-MAS04217 remote unlocking switch touch close
the one I wanted active are the tap close ones, they were not active stock. Defaults were (need to fill in) also there may be settings for the rear lid opening button
defaults below:
Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key - Touch function for opening: not active
Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key - Tap function for opening: active
Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key - Touch function for closing: active
Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key - Tap function for closing: not active
