UE5 Preview Compare String Operators

I can’t seem to plug a String pin into any of the Operators nodes

only workaround I have found is to copy an an already existing node with a string value already connected to it and if you haven’t got one you would need to create one from a project using ue5 EA 2

You have to make the node by dragging off the string.

That’s something I already tried and it failed

Same Error in UE 5.0 Final

In Editor Prefs search Deny…

Delete String Entry and it works

still happening at 5.1.1-23901901+++UE5+Release-5.1

Bumping because I have this happening in 5.3, even when I drag off a String node.

It doesn’t seem like a bug, but I’d love to know WHY it happens.

Edit: Figured it out, see next reply.

Found out there are two functions that come up when you type “==” in the search box.

One of them is not relevant (unsure why it even shows up, that seems like a bug)

The other one is specifically for comparing strings

Use “Equal Exactly (String)” instead and it will work.
