I’m trying to create a variable of type SkeletalMesh in a user-defined Structure. Unlike other types, if I mark this type of variable as editable, it does not show under the Default Values section and is thus not editable in the editor. Version: 4.6.1 (official release) Steps to reproduce: 1. In the Content Browser, right-click and navigate to Blueprints-\>Structure under Create Advanced Asset. 2. Double click the new asset to open the new data structure editor window. 3. Press the New Variable button 4. Add a variable and set its type to bool in the dropdown next to the name field. 5. Ensure the checkbox labeled “Editable” is checked. 6. Verify in the right-most column of the data structure editor window, Default Values, displays the new variable and that its default value is editable. 7. Repeat steps 3-6 but set the new variable to type SkeletalMesh. Expected Result: It’s expected that the new variable of type SkeletalMesh appears under the Default Values column. Actual Result: The value is AWOL (absent without leave), meaning it doesn’t show up. ---

Howdy coreyx, Thank you for reporting this issue. I am going to need a bit more information before I begin digging into your error. What version of UE4 are you currently using when seeing this error and is that build a Binary build of the engine or a source build? Is there a way that i may be able to recreate this issue using a step by step repro? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day! ---

Hey guys, I’m seeing this same issue with Audio Components as well. Is there a way to extend Audio Components and other objects to be editable in user-defined Structures? Thank you! ---

Hi barak\_moshe, - Does this occur in a clean, blank project with no additional content or is it limited to one project? - What steps can I take to reproduce this error on my end? Are they the same as the steps above?
