I have found that I can group my public variables nicely in the details/editor panel of my blueprint actor by changing the “category” field of the variable properties. However, I can’t seem to find a way to set the category for a custom event created in the blueprint. When I expose the events to the editor they show up in the details panel under “Default” and I can’t find any way to change this. Does anyone know how to do this or if this is possible?

You mean custom events like this?
I’m not sure what you mean about the Default category as custom events are not associated with any sort of categorization as far as I know.
But you can make multiple Event Graphs with custom names, just in case you weren’t aware.

Thank you, you confirmed what I suspected. I was afraid I was missing something.
I had wanted to connect some events to the editor UI (details panel) in a way that was more organized than dumping everything in “Default”. What I ended up doing is not exposing events but mapping functions to call the events. I had avoided this since I was relying on the async capabilities of events, but it’s a workaround that works for now.
one thing that is hard to find that is helpful is the ’ | ’ operator.
You can make subcategories usings it like “Appearance | Parameters”
which will result in:
Appearance
Parameters
your function goes here

You can trigger the custom event in a function, and since functions can be placed in categories this will clean up your Details pannel. Just check call in editor on the function and you get the exact same thing.
