Sadly no šŸ˜• . I tested it just now, specifically cleared the textblocks default text, saved, then reconnected the PreConstruct method which sets the text from a text property. The text property holds the placeholder value. I restart the game and it simply says ā€œPlaceholderā€. Then I reload the button asset and it gets the correct value. The correct value is set by a parent UserWidget which holds a list of buttons, there for each button the text property is set to a localized value on the editor panel. Crazy right? Itā€™s not even everywhere itā€™s just random if it happens on a certain UserWidget both game and editor. Once it happens it stays. ![afbeelding](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/1/7/91798e1628ae24b10650221ba8046ca76e70dec6.png) ![afbeelding](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/5/e/5/5e5c71df4c805f40d45cc33c2e4683f3e398b8df.png) Itā€™s not some weird hidden logic this happens on 100% blueprint widgets directly inheriting from UUserWidget --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/ue5-1-1-bug-report-widget-does-not-set-text-unless-asset-is-reloaded/874567)._
