Description

If the user renamed an Event Dispatch in a blueprint that is being referenced in another blueprint, the dispatch will be renamed but will be treated as a new event. This means the user can place the same event twice in the referencing blueprint, once before rename and once after.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open QAGame in editor.
  2. Create two actor blueprints: Parent and Child.
  3. Open the Parent blueprint.
  4. Add a Child Object Reference variable and compile.
  5. Open the Child blueprint.
  6. Add an Event Dispatcher, name it MyDispatch and compile.
  7. Back in the Parent blueprint, select the variable you added.
  8. Click the My Dispatch Event button and compile.
  9. Back in the Child blueprint, rename MyDispatch to Renamed Dispatch and compile.
  10. Go back into the Parent blueprint.

RESULT

The Event Dispatch will be renamed and can be placed.
