I’m trying to customize the details for my custom CharacterMovementClass. I want to hide some properties, not just remove the entire category. It seems the solution is customizing the details panel. I’ve looked at the two links below.

I’ve tried implemented both with no success.

- It’s not clear what directory these file go in. I tried placing them in the “Source” folder.
- Adding the includes gives me compile errors.
- I can’t figure out where to register the class. I tried in the my games main game mode class like the one document mentions, but it fails to compile. It says it can’t open the PropertyEditing header file.

If someone could point me to a working implementation of a details customization I would be super thankful. I come from Unity where this type of thing is pretty straight forward, really wish this feature was more approachable.
