Bug/Issue:

@Epic, Could you please help to fix the issue. This was working correctly last month before new season, and the Skeletal Mesh was updating with the new texture as expected. I tried a few different fbx file.

1- Import the “Mechanical.fbx” file and all associated textures into “UEFN”.

2- Open the “F_MED_Mechanical_Engineer_Body_T1” material, apply the texture, then click Apply and Save.

3- Issue: The “F_MED_Mechanical_Engineer_mo” Skeletal Mesh is not updating with the new texture and is displaying in grey.

4- For step-by-step instructions, please refer to the following URL:
