I’ve actually just managed to fix it in python script by using “set\_editor\_property” instead of setting compression\_settings parameter:

```python
            # DOESN'T WORK - https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/set-compression-texture-settings-from-blueprint-not-working/426562/3
            # tex.compression_settings = unreal.TextureCompressionSettings.TC_HDR
            tex.lod_group = unreal.TextureGroup.TEXTUREGROUP_16_BIT_DATA

            tex.set_editor_property('compression_settings', unreal.TextureCompressionSettings.TC_HDR)
            tex.set_editor_property('lod_group', unreal.TextureGroup.TEXTUREGROUP_16_BIT_DATA)

```

You can also do it with “Set editor property” node from blueprint.

If you don’t know how to make this “set” node with texture compressions settings - it’s a bit tomfoolery but it works:
