I’m aware of [workarounds](https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/39499/crouched-eye-height-not-effective-in-first-person.html) but a fix would be nice for certain applications

Hi Hermann,

I have entered a feature request (UE-23076) to add in a checkbox that would automatically adjust the camera to capsule eye height if set to true. The primary reason this is not automatic is due to games that do not utilize a first person perspective. In many games, your character can crouch, but would not benefit from adjusting the camera to a new height, this would allow for both scenarios based on what the developer needs.
