Hi,

if this is the wrong place, please correct me, because this it not a gameplay-programming problem.

I created custom Settings for my Plugin followed this Tutorial:

> **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)**
>
> After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — ue4community.wiki! You will be able to find content from the official...

Everything is fine but I wanted to add custom Slate-Widget to the exposed Properties shown here, like a directory Browse Widget (SButton with Access to ‘FDirectoryPathStructCustomization’)

and I couldn´t find the right place where to create these widgets.

See the screenshots.

Do you have any suggestions / hints where to dig ?

Thank you,

Simon

I _think_ you want to use FDirectoryPath instead of FString:

> **[FDirectoryPath](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/API/Runtime/Engine/Engine/FDirectoryPath/)**
>
> Structure for directory paths that are displayed in the editor with a picker UI.
