Setting reference to parent widget in child, not null:
Printing name of parent widget from child, is now null:
This works fine under normal circumstances. There’s something else at play here, something you’re not showing / telling us.
Like what? It seems like a bug to me. All I am doing is setting a variable that I later access in the same BP but then it becomes null. It even does it with bools.
The weird thing is that if I make a setter function and print the variable in that function it isn’t null until I try to access it later.
Are you sure that the RTSBasePanel variable is set (not null) when you set its parent variable from the parent?
Also, we need a bit more execution context. A lot could happen here.
The issue was that there are actually 2 of these panels in the same widget and I forgot that I named the panel I actually wanted to something else. Literally spent hours trying to sort this out. Thanks though.
