How many values can you store in an Enum that's defined in editor UI?

I heard a comment on here suggesting that value is stored as a byte and not an int - if that’s case, are we limited to 256 items in an enum? No biggy, I’m just defining some functionality and want to make sure.

Hey ,

That is correct, enums are limited to 256. Nodes in Blueprints should only allow you to use values of 0 to 255.

Hello,

What is reason for this limit? I use enums for bitflags and would like to have more than 256.
