Get selected actor's data

So I’m experimenting with editor tools, seeing how to create new random tools and whatnot (please keep in mind I’m not too experienced with UE4 and it’s been a long time since I used C++). And came across an issue. I created a ‘Standalone window’ plugin from their options available, and under the OnSpawnPluginTab function I have:

    UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Opened Plugin"));
    for ( TObjectIterator<ACharacter> Itr; Itr; ++Itr)
    {
        if (Itr->IsSelected())
        {
            UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("(FText) location: %"), *Itr->GetActorLocation().ToString());
        }
    }

works fine and all but it doesnt show the actor location. Upon opening the plugin (whilst having a character actor selected), the console output is:

LogTemp:Warning: Opened Tab

LogTemp:Warning: (FText) location:

without showing the actual location. Im guessing what Im not getting right is what the Itr object actually is, and what stuff I can do with it. (What im eventually trying to get the selected object’s data such as name and location, then I will put it in a sEditableText box to alter it)

Thanks for any help, currently clueless XD
