Variables in player not saving properly when closing unreal

Summary

For some reason, variables within my FirstPersonCharcter do not save. When I save my project, close it and then reopen it, the create widget for my HUD and its variable replaces with a placeholder and my reference to my “build mode” component bugs out despite still working.
