Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Verse

Steps to Reproduce

  • Create a new widget blueprint
  • Add a named slot
  • Compile / Save / Compile Verse

Expected Result

Named slot should be reflected together with the reflected widget class and provide a way to inject a custom widget.

Observed Result

Named slots are not reflected in verse.

Platform(s)

UEFN v39.40

Additional Notes

In my particular case a reflected widget named slot could be used as a solution for the given problem that there is no size_box widget in verse, which would also expose the currently hidden layout settings. Without those settings and the abilities of reflected widget name slots or a verse size_box widget class it’s impossible to implement the desired widget HUD in my experience in a more structured way. This forces me to add all HUD widgets into a single monolithic widget which already has 70 verse fields and rising.
