UE 5.1 hundreds of warnings: defines MetaData key "RowType" which contains short type name "XXXXXXXXXXXXX". Suggested pathname: "/Script/YYYYYY.XXXXXXXX".

Short names for the rowtype property are no longer allowed?

Garbage. Updated the meta to

UPROPERTY(meta = (RowType=“/Script/MyPackage.S_MyStruct”))

And even then the warnings remain. Broken as usual.

I wasn’t even aware that was something you could do. For data table rows? What is the package name when you do something like that, pointing to … a blueprint data table?

Yes it is to limit a datatable picker to a struct. Normally I just use the short name without the F prefix of a struct and it works. UE5.1 throws warnings and apparently the /script/ and package need to be added.

UPROPERTY(meta = (RowType = "/Script/YourPackage/YourStruct"))
	FDataTableRowHandle SomeProperty;

Same crap for the UDatatable property and RequiredAssetDataTags meta

5

what is “YourPackage” in this case, though? as far as i’m aware, we don’t have individual package names like we did in the UE3 days…

6

You do. The package is your module.

ooohh… i was thinking it was referring to blueprint implemented datatables… which don’t have a package name. usually most anything that i’ve encountered in the engine th at refers to script is referring to blueprint.
