When using Universal camera it is not possible to adjust depth of field when "Use F-stop" is enabled.
This issue has never been present for a long time and continues in latest build 28.6

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable "Use F-stop"
2. Enable "Used as Universal Camera"
3. Try to adjust Aperture in DOF settings.

You can adjust Aperture in Universal camera but when you first disable "Use F-stop" before switching to Universal camera.
It either should automatically disable this feature or allow to use it in Universal camera. In C4D the F-stop slider works for both Universal and Regular Octane Camera.
