In 5.3 I used request transition with an exposed variable in the state tree so under certain circumstances, a transition would occur. This no longer works at all in 5.4 and I am wondering if it’s a bug or the behaviour has changed?

Appreciate the help!

Imo it’s a bug. The node just doesn’t work anymore. Reading logs i can see that it just doesn’t read the state it’s inputted (it’s always empty).

Ah that’s annoying. Thanks for confirming that for me. Hopefully it gets fixed soon because it’s incredibly useful. I submitted a report to Epic but I dont know if I did it correctly.

Nothing in the hotfix about this bug - anyone by chance had a test? Me hoping for an undocumented fix.

I watched a video on 5.5 and I get the feeling they might be revamping aspects of the State Tree (specifically relating to tags/transitions) so maybe that will sort the issue out? I could be wrong

yeah unreal devs are lazy on fixing real problems, they rather throw experimental/beta features that will never be fixed and optimized properly…

```auto

RequestTransition(StateLink);

This kind of way is still not working for me in 5.5.1. Anyone else?
