I created property in C++

```
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
UStaticMeshComponent* Mesh;

```

Next configured it in editor. Adds Element on Override Materials option in Editor doesn’t work, after click nothing happens.  
Works on 4.15

I am having the same issue on 4.16.3. Even though the bug tracker says it´s “Fixed”, the bug is still existing.

Hey InTrusta-

This issue was fixed in 4.17. If you upgrade your project to the latest engine version, you should be able to work around this issue.
