Always open Data Only Blueprints with Full Blueprint editor option

Development Programming & Scripting

Hi,

Is there an option in editor preferences where I can set it that whenever I open an Data Only Blueprint is automatically opens it in Full Blueprint Editor?
As I usually want to open them in Full Blueprint editor mode anyway.

Plus 1 for this. Compact bp editor is so annoying.

Join now!
when editing hundreds of classes, these are hundreds of extra clicks …

This is a must! The data only mode really drives me crazy when I need to modify anything

You can add an empty function to avoid open compact Blueprint Editor.

I’ve posted a similar question: I have a base BP class that all of my “data only” blueprints are derived from. I want all of these derived classes not to open in “data only” mode, is there something I can do in the base class to make this happen? Adding a dummy function to the base class makes it open in non “data only” mode, but doesn’t do anything for the derived BP’s.

thanks,
jeff

Me too. I would love to have this behavior as an option in the Editor Preference

I’ve submitted a PR with the code to enable this.

Here is a link: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/9520

If this is accepted by Unreal, then it will be a simple config option. Check the link to determine if/when it is merged in by Unreal or not.

Awesome! Thank you! Hope you get traction with the PR.

The behavior of UE is unnecessarily annoying in this regard.

too bad that it’s still not even in 5.4.1

Would love more persisted settings like this. Thanks :slight_smile:
