AnimMontage not playing

Dear experts,

I am in UE 5.1.

I have an Anim Montage that I want to play on the character when I hit “R”:

But it is not playing. Here is my AnimMontage and Anim Graph

Any ideas why the montage might not play?

Thank you

播放蒙太奇的目标是动画实例。获取动画实例可以通过:您的网格体>获取动画实例,来获取动画实例。希望这对您有帮助。
The target of playing montage is the animation instance. You can obtain anim instances by: your mesh>Get Anim Instance. I hope this will help you.

When I change the “Play Anim Montage” node to a “Montage Play” node and feed in the anim Instance, it works, the animation is being played:

But I want to use “PlayAnimMontage” - what am I missing?
Any ideas?
Thank you!

I changed from a modular character to using a single mesh character and now it works with “Play Anim Montage”
