Exposing Static Mesh "Desired Max Draw Distance" in a Blueprint

I have several Blueprints with Static Mesh components. Within the Blueprint “Components” view, I can edit the Desired Max Draw Distance variable on each individual Static Mesh component.

What I’d like to do is create an exposed variable in the Blueprint that is in turn applied to Desired Max Draw Distance via the Blueprint construction script. However, I cannot seem to find a way to apply that variable to the Desired Max Draw Distance of a particular static mesh component.

Any ideas?

I would like this functionality too. Shame it still isn’t possible after over a year.
