Change image on separate HUD blueprint

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint
1

I am trying to change the frame around the active player portrait from within a blueprint that doesn’t contain the widget element.
I do this by making a reference to the GameHUD widget and accessing the publicly exposed widget element Player_1_PortraitFrame,
then setting the brush from texture. However, the portrait frame image does not change as expected. Am I accessing the variable
improperly or have I not created a proper reference or what?

Here is a screenshot of the BP which shows how I have the separate blueprints and made a reference within one.

Do you get a warning or error in your log (Windows -> Developer Tools -> Output Log) when changing the portrait? Your GameHUD reference might not be valid.

There were not any errors which made the problem more confusing.
However, I discovered that it was an incorrect reference. I created
the reference on the widget instead of the first person controller, so
it was not accessing a correct instance. After creating the reference
on the first person controller and accessing it appropriately, it works
fine. Thank you.
