Is there a way of getting all arguments from a FText property?

Do you mean that you have a text property of, for example, “Hello {Name}. Today is {Date}” and you want to be able to know that the arguments “Name”, and “Date” exist in the text?

We have `FText::GetFormatPatternParameters`, it’s what `UK2Node_FormatText` uses.

```
TArray<FString> ArgumentParams;
FText::GetFormatPatternParameters(YourText, ArgumentParams);

```
