Change actor/component location via c++ in editor (CallInEditor function)

Hi,

lets say I have an Actor with a simple SphereComponent (ActorComponent).
Now I want to have the possibility to change the position of the SphereComponent in Editor and have it saved to the instance and world.

This works when I move the SphereComponent in the editor-detailspanel and save the world.

But when implementing an editor-button like this:

UFUNCTION(CallInEditor, Category="Move")
void RandomMoveSphere();

void MySphereComponent::RandomMoveSphere()
{
    SetWorldLocation(*some location*)
}

I can see the location change in editor but the location will never be saved.
Tried stuff like PostEditMove(true), which calls OnConstruction(), but I cannot get it to save the changed location.

Any help would be appreciated.
