REPORTING A BUG (I think its a bug)

I’m reporting what I think is a bug. If this isn’t the case, and I’m just missing something, I would appreciate informing me.

The bug: With the fps arms given with the fps starter content by Unreal Engine, I have socketed a sword to the right hand of the arms skeletal mesh.

I then proceeded to rig the fps arms.

The sword shows up in the rig blueprint, the skeletal mesh blueprint, and even in the game when I press play (My character).

However, when dragging the rig into the level to then animate with the level sequencer, the sword does NOT show up. This makes it extremely difficult to animate correctly.

Bump? Can someone confirm if this is a bug?

Solved. It was not a bug, but my own ignorance. I thought that I added the sword to the socket, but it was in persona and only a preview. You have to create an actor blueprint and then include the skeletal mesh, the sword (static mesh), and the control rig that you made for the skeleton. Then you have to child the sword to the skeletal mesh and parent the sword socket you created previously.
