Ui Input Skip Assigning Gamepad to Player 1 still not working. Need Fix/Workaround

Development Programming & Scripting UI

Skip Assigning Gamepad to Player1 is fixed except in UI inputs. It doesn’t work with or without Common UI. The first gamepad will control player 2’s character in game like expect. But will control Player 1’s UI. This is making it impossible to do local multiplayer with a skip assigning controller option.
I’m hoping someone can help me fix this. There is a bug report that is marked as Won’t Fix.

I thought I was on the right track here and I could just use Widget To Focus to easily set user focus manually from the main widget. Then i realized my color blindness tricked me and that output is a Name and not an actual Widget Reference. and reports none unless i manually set it anyways.
