Checkbox CheckStateChanged not firing when changed externally

Hey, I’m new to Blueprint script. The issue Im having is when I change the “Checked” state of a checkbox on my HUD from another blueprint the event that is called when the checkbox changes state “onCheckStateChanged” does not fire, however visually the checkbox it self does change state.

If I click the checkbox it self in game the event is fired.
