Hi everyone,  
I really hope you can help me out.  
The core problem is: I have a Data Blueprint with MyClass as Parent. I just can’t get it cast back to MyClass with the changed variables. I’m stuck somewhere at:

```
MyClass* MC = Cast<MyClass>(Blueprintclass->ParentClass.Get()->StaticClass());

```

The only thing that casts valid is Blueprintclass-\>ParentClass.GetDefaultObject() but without my changed values in the Blueprint. Please help me out!  
Thanks

I finally found the Solution!

```
UBlueprint* BlueprintAsset = Cast<UBlueprint>(AssetsList*.GetAsset());
if (BlueprintAsset)
{
	TSubclassOf<AWeapon> SubclassOfWeapon = BlueprintAsset->GeneratedClass;
}

```
