Animation montage section metadata is not serializable

Hi. I have a next issue. I was created a custom metadata class:

UENUM(BlueprintType)
enum class ESkillAnimationType : uint8
{
	Default = 0,
	ThrowHand
};

UCLASS(Blueprintable)
class UAnimMetaDataSkillCastAnimation : public UAnimMetaData
{
	GENERATED_UCLASS_BODY()
public:
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
	ESkillAnimationType Value;
};

Then I have selected it in the animation montage section metadata.

After editor was restarted metadata was missed

Thanks. I think that reason is in serialization of the FCompositeSection which not an UObject.

Hey v.s.-

I was able to reproduce the issue with the meta data not being saved after restarting the editor and have entered a bug report (UE-29228) for further investigation. I did notice that if you set the meta data in the Anim Asset Details panel, this setting does remain after a restart. I am not familiar with setting up an AnimMontage but this may allow you to set the meta data without having to set it again when restarting the editor.

Cheers
