[4.9.1] Animation BP, Root Motion setting always resets to Montage Only

Dear Epic

#Repro

  1. Make a new Anim BP
  2. Add a animation sequence that uses root motion
  3. With the default setting of Montage Only for Root Motion Mode, the animation skips (normal)
  4. Switch Root Motion Mode to Root Motion From Everything, now the animations works properly
  5. Save, everything is fine
  6. Compile the Anim BP, and now Root Motion Mode reverts back to From Montage Only!
  7. There is no way to not use Root Motion from Montage Only!

I tried saving but not compiling but then when running PIE it recompiles anyways so effectively I can only use the single default Root Motion Mode of Montage Only

Hi Rama

you have to set the “Anim Preview Editor” to “Edit Defaults” in order to change this permanently.
