Hello I was using Unreal Engine 5.5.4 and noticed that when I created new Enum values or string array entries that the keyboard focus doesn’t get assigned automatically. As a result I manually needed to select the new field. This quickly became cumbersome. When creating a new local variable for example the keyboard focus is assigned and one can direct start typing. I don’t know if it is already patched in newer version but it would be a small quality of life fix.

Cheers,

Lukas
