Editor Utility Widgets Feedback

[Shadow.Storm]

In 4.23 preview 1, if I attempt to save my EUW while that EUW is open, it will not save because it is “linked to an external package”. If I close the widget and then save the EUW blueprint, then it will save successfully. This happens even with a new, blank EUW, and it happens when the editor tries to autosave. Saves work ok in 4.22.

I went to log a bug, but I can’t select 4.23 as the version so here it is:

Reproduction steps:

1. Create an new Editor Utility Widget and add anything to it (e.g. an image). Save it.
2. Run the editor utility widget.
3. Open the editor utility widget in the blueprint/widget editor.
4. Try to save the widget. Note you receive an error.
5. Close the running editor utility widget.
6. Try to save the widget again. Note it saves successfully.

Saving will fail with an error message like this:
EditorErrors: Warning: Object ‘WidgetX /Temp/Untitled_1.Untitled_1:WidgetX_C_6’ is in another map
EditorErrors: Warning: Can’t save WidgetX.uasset: Graph is linked to object WidgetX /Temp/Untitled_1.Untitled_1:WidgetX_6 (CreatedUMGWidget) in external map

This should be fixed in the next preview. Thanks for calling it out!
