If a parent blueprint is compiled and then play in editor is utilized. The child blueprint will lose categories in it's my detail's pane until recompiled.
Note: Licensee reports that variables reset to default values if the child blueprint is not recompiled and afterwards the map is reloaded. This was not reproduced internally, however it is included here for the sake of brevity if it is caused by the same error. To reproduce, follow the same steps here. At Step 11. Do not recompile, instead, go to:
File>open Level>FirstPersonBP>Maps>First Person Example.umap and press Open. The variables inside of the child blueprint should reset to a default value, even if alterations were made.
1. Download and unzip attached project
2. Open Editor (BlueprintTest.uproject)
