Blueprint Function Library functions created in the Content Browser cannot be used in Object derived Blueprint classes

Blueprint Function Library functions created in the Content Browser cannot be used in Object derived Blueprint classes

UDN
Description

I was noticing that functions you define in a Blueprint Function Library created in the content browser are only usable from blueprint classes that derive from Actor, but not from blueprint classes that derive from Object.

Investigating further, it looks like this is being filtered by UEdGraphSchema_K2::CanFunctionBeUsedInGraph() where it returns false because the in function has the MD_WorldContext meta data, meaning the function requires a world context, even though the function is empty.

So it seems like any BP Function Library you create in the content browser just defaults to requiring world context, which means they can never be used in an Object-derived blueprint.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a new Blueprint Function Library via the content browser
  2. Create a function in the library called "MyCoolFunc"
  3. Create a new Actor-derived blueprint class, and add the MyCoolFunc function node to its Event Graph
  4. Create a new Object-derived blueprint class, and try to add the MyCoolFunc function node to its Event Graph
    • Notice that the right click "add node" menu does not display the MyCoolFunc funtion
Callstack

This function is filtered out of the list via the following callstack:
