  1. Have you indicated all the correct parameters in the GetFileName() function? They should be

    GetFileName(const FText& Text, ETextCommit::Type CommitMethod)

  2. Have you marked GetFileName() as UFUNCTION() ? Without it, AddDynamic will fail.

In any case, here’s my test, and it works:

.h

UPROPERTY(meta = (BindWidget))
UEditableText* EditableTextName;

UFUNCTION()
void Committed(const FText& Text, ETextCommit::Type CommitMethod);

.cpp

bool UTestWidget::Initialize() 
{
    Super::Initialize();

    EditableTextName->OnTextCommitted.AddDynamic(this, &UTestWidget::Committed);

    return true;
}

void UTestWidget::Committed(const FText& Text, ETextCommit::Type CommitMethod) 
{
    FText NewText = Text;
    GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 10, FColor::Purple, NewText.ToString());
}

And it prints to screen everything I’ve entered into the Editable Text field.

Certainly, don’t forget to #include “Components/EditableText.h” in the .cpp file and forward declare class UEditableText; in the header.
