[SURVEY] There's A Really Really Terrible Bug Where Child Blueprints Get Their Variables Reset

Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but Child Actor Components are probably one of the most critical things in my workflow to keep things consolidated and cohesive, but they also have led to a whole lot of lost work. I still think there’s an outstanding issue in 4.15 where if you have a child actor component that is in any way based on a C++ class, if the class ends up changing too much, any blueprint that derived from it, other than the top-most one maybe, would just crash the editor. Which made setting up an inheritance structure… Not great.

I haven’t used child actor components in so long. They are formally banned at a couple of places I work at for these reasons and I learned not to rely on them in my own projects fairly soon after UE4 was released.
