Summary

Duplicating a hierarchy in the outliner is unstable lately.

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Stability

Steps to Reproduce

In the outliner, right click on a folder containing assets to open the menu.

Choose " Duplicate hierarchy".

Expected Result

The folder with all it’s content should be duplicated as a separate, new folder.

Observed Result

Additional Notes

For easier placement in the level I like to keep as many single meshes as long as possible before ISM-ing them into single actors.
