I noticed this problem in UE5EA and today I verified that it’s still present in UE5.0.1, I have submitted [a bug report](https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-151567), can you please upvote it? ❤

How to replicate

- Open/Create a user widget
- Click on the star on the left of a widget template (It should be added to the top menu “Favorites”
- Click on the star of another widget template

Expected behaviour:

- Widget should be added to the favorite list

Results:

- Widget replaces the current widget on the favorite list, allowing only one favourite per time

It’s nice that it’s been marked as “Fixed” on May 28th, but it’s still not working in 5.1.1:

@V1NZG I saw your name in the [GitHub commit](https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/d67e03372ed5a4b862e9941dc1fc86df204964e6), can you please give us more info about this issue?

P.S. I’ve already submitted another bug report.
