Description

1. Create a hierarchy in UMG that has a couple layers deep of children such as vertical boxes that have multiple children that are vertical boxes, widget switchers ..

2. Collapse all children in the hierarchy.

3. Expand only one section of the hierarchy.

4. Move a widget from one area of the hierarchy to the other.
OR:
4. Rename a widget in the hierarchy.

RESULT: The whole hierarchy auto-expands. The user has to collapse the hierarchy and scan up and down the hierarchy to figure out where they were to continue working. This makes doing tasks like renaming parts of the hierarchy or making simple changes like re-arranging or adding to parts of the hierarchy cumbersome.
