Hi! I’ve been having this issue. When I declare a variable in VSCode with a default value the editor puts the value as zero.  
Why this keeps happening, I’m doing something wrong?  
(I’m using UE4.27.2)

Have you tried setting the default value this way?

```auto
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
int MyInt = 123;

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
bool MyBool = true;

```
