FPropertyEditorModule& PropertyEditorModule = FModuleManager::Get().GetModuleChecked(“PropertyEditor”);  
FPropertyTypeLayoutCallback PropertyTypeLayoutCallback = PropertyEditorModule.GetPropertyTypeCustomization(CachedValueProperty-\>GetProperty(), \*CachedValueProperty.Get(), FCustomPropertyTypeLayoutMap());  
if (PropertyTypeLayoutCallback.IsValid())  
{  
Customization = PropertyTypeLayoutCallback.GetCustomizationInstance();  
}

the compiler failed to link FPropertyEditorModule::GetPropertyTypeCustomization() and FPropertyTypeLayoutCallback::GetCustomizationInstance()

I have already added “PropertyEditor” to PublicDependencyModuleNames of my plugin module’s Build.cs and calling some other functions like FPropertyEditorModule::RegisterCustomClassLayout() is ok

```
