There is a work around for this that i can explain very simple.
DO NOT NAME THE FUNCTION BEFORE YOU ADD VARIABLES!
When i set a name/copy a name to the function from a different BP character, i can’t change the names on the variables.
But if i add the variabels first, then change the name of the function. The variable names stay.
I am facing the same issue in Unreal Engine 5.0.3. I cannot create a local variable with the same name in two different functions within the same blueprint.
Same problem, seems like some bugs was ignored since 2014. Big surprise )
Current workaround: Rename your variables in “MyBlueprint” tab, instead of “Details”.
Unreal version 5.0.3.
