Can no longer edit Data Tables on 4.13?

We just updated from 4.12 to 4.13 and seem to have lost the ability to edit our Data Tables.
The Row Editor will only display the row name, all other rows are not displayed at all in the Row Editor.
Does anyone else get this on 4.13?

Hi Varley,

Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce this on my end.

  • Does this occur in a clean, blank project with no additional content or is it limited to one project?
  • What steps can I take to recreate this on my end?
  • Does this only occur on projects upgraded from 4.12-4.13/data tables created in 4.12? For instance, if you create a new data table in 4.13 do you see the same error occur?

Programmer on said project here. Found a UDN post on it. The reason turns out to be that sub-categories has stopped working in the metadata. So doing Category=“Project|SubGroup” will break it. It has been bugged as : UE-31861
Cheers!

This is still happening in 4.18.2. As noted by SkurkSE, if you have sub-categories in your UPROPERTY metadata for your FTableRowBase USTRUCT, it will cause the DataTable’s row editor to stop working. So for now use: Category=“Project” instead of Category=“Project | SubGroup”.

[UPDATE] I forgot to mention that this also seemed to cause the re-import of the DataTable to fail with a “missing RowStruct” error message.

Nice one - absolute lifesaver. I never realised and the one data table we have on our new project I’d resorted to importing JSON - I thought it had been disabled, or it was simply a figment of my imagination that this used to work.

Still the same in 4.23. Thanks for the share, saved me a lot of debug time for sure.

Still the same in UE5.0.3 - You saved my day :heart_eyes:
