This actually has become problematic because I cant seem to set the variables in the C++ with the blueprint.

#pragma once

#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "Blueprint/UserWidget.h"
#include "QCMissionHUD.generated.h"

UCLASS(Abstract)
class UQCMissionHUD : public UUserWidget {
	GENERATED_BODY()

public: 

	/** Update the HUD with the current the shield percent. */
	void SetShield(float Percent);

	/** The dynamic material used to represent the shield. */
	UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, meta=(BindWidget))
	class UMaterialInstanceDynamic* ShieldMaterial;
};

This doesnt work. I have tried a number of things to set the dynamic material instance, using a number of events and the blueprint compiler still reports:

A required widget binding "ShieldMaterial" of type  Material Instance Dynamic  was not found.

Clearly I am missing somethng but deep search of the internet has not revealed what that might be.
