When i apply my spline mesh to the spline segmets, the applied materials to the mesh are replaced with the basic world material

Anyone know a fix?

Material overrides dont fix it either

UEFN latest version

With the material root node selected, in it’s detail panel search for “used” and find “used with spline meshes”. Check that, apply it and it should work.
