Updating Property Settings

I found the answer –

Set your UPROPERTY’s you want to copy from another class’s CDO as (Transient). This way, they don’t get serialized. Overwrite the ::Serialize(FArchive& Ar) UObject virtual function and set your Transient properties here.

void APickup::Serialize(FArchive& Ar)
{
	Super::Serialize(Ar);

	if (Item.Get())
	{
		UStorableItem* CDO = Item.GetDefaultObject();
		StaticMesh->SetStaticMesh(CDO->GetStaticMesh());
	}
}

Where StaticMesh is a Transient UStaticMeshComponent. Item is a TSubclassOf. Make sure you do this after you Super:: so that your TSubclassOf is updated before copying data from it’s CDO. This is the best solution I could find.
