How can I see the path to a variable's Object Type definition? Is it not possible?

In the image below, I have two variables with object types referencing a widget called External Music Playlists. I duplicated this widget as I needed to refactor and clean up something that broke in the past. One of them is referencing the old, since deleted widget, that is broken and shouldn’t be used but it’s not clear which one is. There’s no visual indicator or location in the variable details to know the path to avoid using the broken and deleted widget. Holding (Ctrl+Alt) for more info doesn’t show a path. Is this an oversight by Epic Games? Am I missing an advanced UI view?

To illustrate the problem more, if I rename ExternalMusicPlaylistRef2 to be ExternalMusicPlaylistRef_, the Blueprint graph renders the variables with the same name, “ExternalMusicPlaylistRef” (not very nice UE5).

If I try and store a reference for the widget into the variable, it won’t allow it, there is no clear indication as to why from the Editor as seen here:

However if I take the other variable that I changed the object type on to reference the working and correct widget with the same name, it works fine as seen here:

To reiterate, why is there not a path in the variable details detailing the location of the Object the variable object type is referencing?

If I was another dev coming in to try and fix this without the prior knowledge that the object type was referencing an object type that is broken, I feel like I would be scratching my head. Even though it’s a simple fix with a few clicks since you just need to refresh the variable’s object type to point to the correct widget.

I would expect to see some metadata near the Variable’s type with a path to the Object type. Hopefully that makes sense… (If someone could educate me on the proper computer science phrasing of this, that would be appreciated! :slight_smile: )

You should just be able to see the type by searching in the content browser. I hear you, that you have removed this type, but I think not completely in some way.

Have you tried searching in the browser with a redirector filter?
