This issue has be solved by re-create related blueprints.
[HR][/HR]
Hey guys, I’ve met a issue that I can’t solve it out. That thing is, I created a custom class inherited from ACharacter, and inserted the following code in order to add a simple static mesh component to it:
.h
UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = Mesh, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))
class UStaticMeshComponent* SMWeapon;
Then i created two blueprint class which derived from the custom c++ character class, and yes i do find the derved static mesh component but there’s nothing in detail panel
changing VisibleAnyWhere to EditAnyWhere
2.changing BlueprintReadOnly to BlueprintReadWrite
3.adding a bunch of other property for it
4.tring to attach it to the skeleton mesh component which is inherited from ACharacter
5.Deleting all folders like .vs \ Binary\ Saved\Interrmediate and .sln file ,then regenerate them
Hello,
I did a quick test just now to double check, the ‘EditAnywhere’ and ‘EditDefaultsOnly’ specifiers should definitely give you access to the Details panel in Blueprints.
Have you tried changing the properties and rebuilding the project with the Editor being closed?
Yes, i’ve double checked ‘EditAnywhere’ but it ain’t work… I’m going to create a new project in order to check it agian.
Actually, the issue is, the detail panal still doesn’t show an. of the inherited UStaticMeshComponent’s property.
Just like the following pics show:
1.The USkeletonMeshComponent declared in ACharacter class can be shown correctly:
private:
/** The main skeletal mesh associated with this Character (optional sub-object). */
UPROPERTY(Category=Character, VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, meta=(AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))
USkeletalMeshComponent* Mesh;

2.The properties of a inherited blueprint static mesh component can be shown correctly:
[ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“medium”,“data-tempid”:“temp_188479_1586750464321_533”}[/ATTACH]

3.Yet my C++ UStaticMeshComponents shows nothing:(Tried change VisibleAnyWhere to EditDefaultsOnly or something else)
UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Mesh, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))
class UStaticMeshComponent* SMWeapon;
Anytime you remove/change components or UPROPERTY meta of a default object, you will have to regenerate the Blueprint. Sometimes reparenting helps, but either way you are likely to lose data. You can add new components without issues usually, but removing or changing existing once will break the BP.
The reason is that the UPROPERTY meta has already been serialized into the Blueprint.
Never use EditDefaultsOnly or BlueprintReadWrite on a component - only use VisibleDefaultsOnly and BlueprintReadOnly.
Hello and sorry for re-opening the thread. I did the same thing, but the Location and Rotation of the Child Component is not showing. It is only Showing the Scale for one reason… Any ideas why? In the UPROPERTY i use what you have typed.
Have you assigned a root component for your actor? I think that should work if you create a scene component as root component, then make this child actor component attach to that root.
You can use SetupAttachment method in constructor, or AttachToComponent method after begin play.
Instead of recreating the blueprint, renaming the component (and the display name), compile in code and opening can fix it. If you reference that comp in the blueprint itself you will probably need to relink those.
To add on some details to the fix:
Do not add core redirect (esp if you are using Riders), seems like you must break the existing data so that it can regenerate.
Honestly, this is a big problem, it greatly discourages the proposed BP & C++ workflow.
