All mesh assets in asset digest now have _asset appended breaking code

[Nman_Pkr]

Summary

I didn’t see anything about _asset being added to the end of mesh names in the patch notes. I opened the editor today and now am faced with a lot of errors where I have to go and append _asset to anywhere I use a mesh in Verse. For example I have a folder called BoxProps and in the folder I have a mesh called FrameModel. Prior to today I could call *.SetMesh(BoxProps.FrameModel) and now I have to call *.SetMesh(BoxProps.FrameModel_asset). Is this the way it is going to be from now on or is my code going to break in the future after I make all these fixes?

Add this in the .uefnproject, within the "dataSets": { ... }" section: "experimental": { "sceneGraph": { "bIsSceneGraphSystemAllowed": false } } Then reopen your project. We’re still investigating how this is getting enabled- so if this still doesn’t help, let…
