Right now you can set a string in Struct as multi-line text only if it is a single variable, when you set to array - option to set it as multi-line disappears.

Hi Gomo,

I was able to reproduce this and have entered a bug report, UE-30392, to be assessed by the development staff.

It’s marked as fixed but there is still simillar problem. Way to reproduce:

1. Create Blueprint
2. Add String variable
3. Multi line checkbox is visible
4. Change variable type to string array
5. Multi line option disappeared

Hello,

while this is fixed now in UE5, I see that the multi line option is not there for local variables…
