If anyone else has issues with the AttachParent/AttachChildren pairing being wrong, got a fix.
Same area as the one mentioned above actually

DonMeshPainterGlobalActor.cpp:

 if (!captureMesh)
{
captureMesh = NewObject<UPrimitiveComponent>(this, Mesh->GetClass(), NAME_None, RF_NoFlags);

if (USkeletalMeshComponent* TargetSkelMeshComponent = Cast<USkeletalMeshComponent>(captureMesh))
{
USkeletalMesh* SourceSkeletalMesh = Cast<USkeletalMesh>(meshKey);
TargetSkelMeshComponent->SetSkeletalMesh(SourceSkeletalMesh);
}
else if (UStaticMeshComponent* TargetStaticMeshComponent = Cast<UStaticMeshComponent>(captureMesh))
{
UStaticMesh* SourceStaticMesh = Cast<UStaticMesh>(meshKey);
TargetStaticMeshComponent->SetStaticMesh(SourceStaticMesh);
}

With Mesh as a template object in the NewObject() call, Mesh’s AttachChildren array is copied.
Various UE4 functions to exactly the same thing, but use a private struct that is friendly to the USceneComponent class to manually clear the AttachChildren after the fact.
Since we can’t do that here, did the above instead.

No idea if it has any affect on the code that follows

Hope you’re ok with me sharing the fix here. If not, let me know.

Thank you so much for sharing this, sorry for the late reply

Will look into integrating this for the next update after taking a closer look.

Thank you
