Good thoughts! Thanks for the input 
I have a print string wired up on my character blueprint so when I fire off the action key it lists everything in my array. It will also fire another print string when I add something to my array. I tried adding a print string in the UMG blueprint and nothing happens. Attached is a screenshot. I’ve also checked the visibility of the panels and it all seems to be good. Regarding configuring the panel, it’s set to variable, pretty sure that’s all I changed.
