Always open Data Only Blueprints with Full Blueprint editor option

Development Programming & Scripting

Hi,

Is there an option in editor preferences where I can set it that whenever I open an Data Only Blueprint is automatically opens it in Full Blueprint Editor?
As I usually want to open them in Full Blueprint editor mode anyway.

Plus 1 for this. Compact bp editor is so annoying.

when editing hundreds of classes, these are hundreds of extra clicks …

This is a must! The data only mode really drives me crazy when I need to modify anything

You can add an empty function to avoid open compact Blueprint Editor.

I’ve posted a similar question: I have a base BP class that all of my “data only” blueprints are derived from. I want all of these derived classes not to open in “data only” mode, is there something I can do in the base class to make this happen? Adding a dummy function to the base class makes it open in non “data only” mode, but doesn’t do anything for the derived BP’s.

thanks,
jeff

Me too. I would love to have this behavior as an option in the Editor Preference

I’ve submitted a PR with the code to enable this.

Here is a link: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/9520

If this is accepted by Unreal, then it will be a simple config option. Check the link to determine if/when it is merged in by Unreal or not.

Awesome! Thank you! Hope you get traction with the PR.

The behavior of UE is unnecessarily annoying in this regard.
