Version: 4.2.1 (1.4.1-2110405)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a blueprint structure

  2. Create an blueprint from actor

  3. Let the structure have a reference to the actor

  4. Let the actor have a structure member

  5. Instantiate two actors

  6. Set their structures’ references to one another

  7. Add a random member in the actor blueprint

  8. Recompile and see how the references in the structures are “None”

Hi Wiggan,

I’ve been able to get to Step 5 but I am not sure what method you are using for the next steps to cause the issue.

Can you elaborate with more detailed steps, pictures, or video the process you are going through

Thank you!

Hi! I’ll try to break down stage six further.
Select one of the actors in the outliner
Find the struct under the default section in details
Press the combobox of the struct
Select the other actor
Repeat with the other actor

I’m without computer for a couple of days, but hopefully this description can help you reproduce it!

Hi Wiggan,

I’ve not heard back from you in a while and I’ve not been able to reproduce this on my end. I’m going to mark this as resolved for our tracking purposes. If you’re still able to replicate the issue with 4.3 please let me know and if you can break down the steps for a clearer repro I’ll have a look.

Thank you!

Okey, I see now that the format of my last comment was a little hard to read.

Select one of the actors in the outliner

Find the struct under the default section in details

Press the combobox of the struct

Select the other actor

Repeat with the other actor

This didn’t help?

I’m not currently subscribed, so I can’t verify in newer version at the moment.

Hi Wiggan,

Sorry you did not receive a response to your last post, but it seems that the problem is no longer occurring in our current build. If you are able to reproduce it, please let me know and I will reopen the investigation.

Thank you!
