Can't assign Data Table to Actor Variable

I don’t know what’s wrong. I’m using Unreal Engine 5.3.2 and while trying to assign a DataTable to an Actor blueprint in my scene, it won’t let me. It will let me assign any other data table to the variable but not the data table I just made nor any other I made after. I’m at a bit of a loss.

I am not getting any error messages or anything else I can go by in the log to figure out what’s wrong. See the example I included in the gif I made.

If I put in any other table, it’s fine. If I put in my new table, or any other new tables I make, the box stays at “None”.

Here you see the construction script for my blueprint. I attempt to validate data before I move on in case that matters.

I think I might have found the issue. The Data Table is in a folder with paranthesis QuestSystem(Simplified).

As soon as I tried to use a Data Table outside of that folder, it worked without an issue. I’d say this is a bug in the engine.

Just came here to confirm this - was having a different Data Table related issues, namely that I couldn’t add any new Actors Objects or Classes into fields in the Data Table Row Editor (they just wouldn’t update when clicked from the drop down menus).

As soon as I saw your post I noticed they’d stopped working after being moved into a folder named using parenthesis - removed those and everything went back to normal.

It’d caused me to roll back a version a few days ago, losing a bunch of work and I wasn’t prepared to go through that again. Does seem like a considerable bug and if it’s unfixable they should just prevent you from writing brackets in the folder titles.

Thank you for inspiring the solution!
