**Engine:** Unreal Engine 5.8  
**Plugin:** Common UI

**Documentation followed:**

> **[Common UI Quickstart Guide for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.8 Documentation...](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/unreal-engine/common-ui-quickstart-guide-for-unreal-engine)**
>
> A first-time walkthrough of Common UI's core features.

I followed the official Common UI Quick Start guide and believe my setup is correct.

### Problem

I created my own Common UI input configuration and changed the **Confirm** action to **Gamepad X**.

However, in-game **Gamepad A** still performs the Confirm action. It behaves as if Unreal Engine’s default Common UI input configuration is still being used instead of mine.

### Things I’ve already checked

- Common UI plugin is enabled.

- Game Viewport Client Class is set to `CommonGameViewportClient`.

- Widgets inherit from `CommonActivatableWidget`.

- Buttons inherit from `CommonButtonBase`.

- My custom Input Data asset and Action Data Table are assigned.

- Deleted `Binaries`, `Intermediate`, and `Saved`, then rebuilt.

- Restarted the editor multiple times.

The issue remains exactly the same.

### Logs

The only CommonUI-related log I consistently see is:

```auto
LogUIActionRouter: Display: Found 0 derived classes when attempting to create action router (CommonUIActionRouterBase)

```

I don’t know whether this is expected or related to the problem.

Has anyone seen a situation where Unreal continues to use the engine’s default Common UI Confirm action (Gamepad A) even though a custom Common UI input configuration is assigned? What else should I check?
