Hi sorry to jump on your post, I am having the same sort of issue, but I created a new dino based on the another one, I added the Status Component Blueprint file into my mod folder and edited it.
I then went to the character_BP blueprint file and went to Components, I then removed the dinocharacterstatus and went to add component, I looked through the list and cannot find the status file listed from my mod folder, is there a way to add it, if so how please.
Many thanks.
