(This is a translation of a [Japanese [Content removed] by okuda jinichiro.)

Since UE 5.7, Material Functions are included in the Layer Asset list (as shown in the attached image).

It is also possible to drag and drop Material Functions into the list. Is there a plan to fix this issue?

Additionally, is there a plan to improve usability by restricting the Layer Asset and Blend Asset lists to specific asset types only or adding features such as favorites to make asset selection easier?

Thanks.
