No "Datasmith reset overrides" on Materials

If you right click a Datasmith created master material in the Content Browser, there is no menu option for “reset overrides” like there is on a Datasmith created mesh.

Are you supposed to clone the material first and put it somewhere else, or what is the intended workflow with attempting to modify materials (and undoing the same) with Datasmith imports?

Yes, clone it and modify the clone so the subsequent re-import don`t overwrite the changes.

In 4.22 we will expose the override on material instances but you`ll need to wait until then.

Which material should I clone, because I see that there’s a “Master” folder that seems to have duplicates of the materials as well…
