Scene Graph: @editable creative_prop_asset always resets to default

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

An @editable creative_prop_asset on a component won’t work. Sometimes you can temporarily see the value set in the editor, shortly before being reset to the default pink cube next time Verse is built or a session launches.

With the current state of Scene Graph, creative props are far more feature complete and being able to augment scenes by spawning them from a component is important.

Assets

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a component that takes a creative_prop_asset as an editable
demo_component<public> := class<final_super>(component) {
	@editable PropAsset: creative_prop_asset = DefaultCreativePropAsset
}

  1. Add the component to an entity

  2. Try to set the value of PropAsset to a blueprint that would normally work

  3. Build Verse Code or Launch Session

Expected Result

The value should remain as it was set and the spawned asset should be the desired blueprint

Observed Result

The value resets and spawning the asset spawns a pink cube

Platform(s)

N/A (Desktop)

I’m experiencing the same problem! I need to be able to spawn a creative_prop_asset from inside the component but it keeps resetting to the default value no matter what
