How to make a static TArray of UObjects

Thanks for the advice. I actually figured out another solution using “AddToRoot()” function. If you call “AddToRoot()” on a UObject, the object will get attached to a global root object and will never get garbage collected.
So I have a static TArray in my class definition:

static TArray<UMYObjectType*> MyStaticArray;

Then in my class constructor I have something like this:

if(MyStaticArray.IsEmpty())
{
    auto obj1 = CreateDefaultSubObject<UMyObjectType>(TEXT("ObjName"));
    obj1.AddToRoot();
    MyStaticArray.Add(obj1);

    auto obj2 = CreateDefaultSubObject<UMyObjectType>(TEXT("ObjName2"));
    obj2.AddToRoot();
    MyStaticArray.Add(obj2);
}

This seem to work for me.
