HI.  
I did not know how to correctly report this bug.

after I changed an anim notify name I searched for it in event graph but it was the the same name as before.  
I have to reset my project each time I modify them

Hi ,

I believe this is directly related to [UE-13696](https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-13696), which is still an open issue.
