Summary
Since update 42.00 props using a Cascade Particle System Component e.g Lawn Light Purple in the Spooky Props Gallery A, are no longer allowed. The validation issue is only flagged when trying to launch a session and not when using ‘Validate Project’.

Steps to Reproduce
Place a prop that has a Cascade Particle System Component such the Lawn Light Purple from the Spooky Props Gallery A.
Expected Result
The prop should not be allowed to be placed since the Cascade Particle System is not supported
Observed Result
The item places successfully but causes a validation error when launching a session. The error in the output log is “Disallowed reference to /Script/Engine.ParticleSystemComponent”
Platform(s)
PC
Additional Notes
Since Cascade is being fully deprecated in UE 6.0 I believe this is somewhat intended behaviour so the assets should either be removed or replaced.
