How to add component to existing actor in level with Python/Blueprint?

[Lukeha]

@Lukeha

so_subsystem = unreal.get_engine_subsystem(unreal.SubobjectDataSubsystem)  
for actor in unreal.VRScoutingInteractor.get_selected_actors():
    root_sub_object = so_subsystem.k2_gather_subobject_data_for_instance(actor)[0]
    new_sub_object = so_subsystem.add_new_subobject(unreal.AddNewSubobjectParams(
        parent_handle=root_sub_object,
        new_class=unreal.PointLightComponent,
    ))
    print(f"created {new_sub_object}")

@Shawn_Wsa I think it was just a bug in 5.0. When I run the exact python snippet above in 5.2 the point light component is attached to the selected actor as expected
