UE-77858

Editing sub-components of an instanced blueprint will lose selection of current property value after pressing enter

Editing sub-components of an instanced blueprint will lose selection of current property value after pressing enter

Developer Notes

The reason focus is lost is that changing the property causes the construction script to run which in turn destroys and creates a different component, so after the change you're not selecting the same object anymore.

UDN
Description

Result of pressing enter when editing text in a subcomponent (of an actor that exists in world) has different behavior than elsewhere in the editor.

Confirmed in 4.24 MAIN @ CL 7519848

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a Blueprint
  2. Add a Component (Static Mesh for example)
  3. Place Blueprint in World and select it.

  5. Change a value inside of a text input box and press enter

Result: Cell Focus is lost.
