OnTextChanged not called for EditableTextBox or MultilineEditableTextBox for programmatic changes.

Per the following UDN post from UE5.3: [Content removed]

I am observing this same issue occurring with UE5.6, and wanted to note that it is also occurring with UMultiLineEditableTextBox. The short description of the issue is that due to changes made in UE5.3, programmatically changing the text (ie. calling “SetText”) on a UEditableTextBox or UMultiLineEditableTextBox fails to call OnTextChanged.

I wanted to ask - was the fix mentioned in the linked UDN post just missed/forgotten, or was it decided against for some reason?

Thank you!

Hello [mention removed]​,

Thanks for the report. I was able to reproduce this behavior locally in UE 5.6 as well as in a recent build (CL 45937871) from Main P4 stream.

I can’t confirm whether the fix mentioned in the previous UDN post was intentionally set aside, but since this does appear to be unexpected behavior (and was confirmed by Epic in that post), I’ll go ahead and file a bug report so the Epic team can review it accordingly.

I’ll keep you posted.

Best,

Francisco

Hello again [mention removed]​,

I’ve submitted a bug report for the Epic team to review. You may continue using the fix previously suggested while the team addresses this issue.

You will be able to track the status of the bug in the following link: Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE\-338380\).

Please note that Epic decides which issues become publicly accessible and the process may take a few days. The tracking link might not work immediately.

I’ll go ahead and close the case now but feel free to reply if you have anything else to add.

Best,

Francisco
