Can't set Default Value to variable

Having an issue where I can’t assign a default value to this variable since it’s greyed out. Any ideas?

This grey out area wants a spawned or placed-in-your-level instance of a character. No way to choose one in the blueprint editor. If you expect to choose something from your content browser, note that this blueprint is like a template, not an actual, “existing” instance of that character in your game yet.

It is important you understand the difference between a class in the content browser and an instance of that class in the level. Instances of a class get placed in the world (in the editor viewport) or spawned at runtime via code.

Go to the editor viewport. Place your Actor Blueprint in a level and with it selected, in the details panel you now can click on the color-picker-icon and select character instance in your level.

Cheers!
