Hello and good time of day,
I’ve encounter a problem in UE5.2, when I right click on a folder in the outliner to duplicate it and it’s hierarchy first of all I have double the options, and when I click on duplicate it creates a empty copy of the folders and all of the duplicated actors in the original folder.

The doubling of the options happen in 5.2 in general, the problem with the duplication seems to be on just specific level. Nonetheless it is strange, any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Yep, just tested it here and same thing - Maybe report it as a bug? I’ll upvote it…

I have no clue how to report a bug, :sweat_smile:
I’ve also tried to ask for help over one of the unreal’s discord servers, someone tested this on his end and didn’t have that problem. So if you have the same problem that means more people might have it and a solution might be found…

Do you have both the doubling of the options in the right click menu and the duplication not working right?

To report a bug, just add a question, then for the topic, search for “issues and bug reporting” and “bug report”.

I seem to get random results sometimes - most of the time it will duplicate correctly, other times it adds the duplicate asset in the original folder - it even moved it to my HLOD folder once - definitely something not quite right going on there.

To Reproduce:

  • Create a level
  • Add an actor (any type)
  • Move it into a folder
  • right click - here you will see the multiple menu entries - this happens every time for me.
  • select either of the “Duplicate Hierachy” options

Thank you, I believe I have managed to do so as there is an upvote function now.
