Unable to Save project after assigning new Landscape Material and executing "Create Layers from Assigned Materials"

Summary

After changing the Landscape Material for a Landscape and updating the Target Layers, I’m seeing an error message when trying to save the Project:
“The Asset ‘/ProjectName/ExternalActors/ProjectName/0/37/Asset Code’ (Asset Code.uasset) failed to save.”

Steps to recreate:

  • Create a new project from the Meadow Island template.
  • Select Landscape from the Outliner.
  • Change the Landscape Material to “MI Landscape Ch2” (Also happens with Ch4).
  • Landscape Mode → Paint → Target Layers → Layers → Create Layers From Assigned Materials.
  • Save Project.

You will see a Message: “The Asset ‘/ProjectName/ExternalActors/ProjectName/0/37/Asset Code’ (Asset Code.uasset) failed to save.”

Followed by the ability to Continue Retry or Cancel.

Thanks.
