Why is nested array empty in UE c ++?

Development Programming & Scripting
1

I have a structure:

#pragma once
#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "FColumnBoard.h"
#include "FRowBoard.generated.h"
USTRUCT(BlueprintType)
struct FRowBoard
{
  GENERATED_BODY()

  UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly)
  TArray<FColumnBoard> columns;
};

And class:

#pragma once

#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"
#include "FRowBoard.h"
#include "Board.generated.h"

UCLASS()
class CHESS_API ABoard : public AActor
{
  GENERATED_BODY()
  
public:	
  // Sets default values for this actor's properties
  ABoard();

protected:
  // Called when the game starts or when spawned
  virtual void BeginPlay() override;
  // Called every frame
  virtual void Tick(float DeltaTime) override;
  UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly)
    class UStaticMeshComponent* board;
  UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly)
    TArray<FRowBoard> rows;
  UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
    UClass* pawnWhite;
  UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
    UClass* pawnBlack;
  UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
    UStaticMesh* cube;
  UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
    UMaterialInterface* color;
};

It has the following constructor:

PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
  this->board = this->CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("BoardStaticMesh"));
  this->SetRootComponent(this->board);
  const int32 sizeColumn = 118.0f;
  FVector boundsColumn = FVector(sizeColumn * 0.02f, sizeColumn * 0.02f, 0.01f);
  for (int32 i = 0; i < 8; ++i) {
    FRowBoard row;
    FVector forwardVector = (FVector::ForwardVector * i - FVector::ForwardVector * 4) * sizeColumn * 2 + FVector::ForwardVector * sizeColumn;
    for (int32 j = 0; j < 8; ++j) {
      FColumnBoard column;
      FVector rightOffset = (FVector::RightVector * j - FVector::RightVector * 4) * sizeColumn * 2 + FVector::RightVector * sizeColumn;
      FString name = TEXT("col_");
      name.AppendInt(i + 1);
      name.AppendInt(j + 1);
      auto col = this->CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(FName(name));
      col->SetupAttachment(this->board);
      col->SetRelativeScale3D(boundsColumn);
      col->SetStaticMesh(this->cube);
      col->SetMaterial(0, this->color);
      col->SetRelativeLocation(rightOffset + forwardVector);
      col->SetVisibleFlag(false);
      column.column = col;
      column.location = rightOffset + forwardVector;
      row.columns.Add(column);
    }
    this->rows.Add(row);
  }

The array is filled in correctly (checked by the debugger), but only the first level array remains filled in BeginPlay and in the editor.

Hello! try to use this codd

 PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
   this->board = this->CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("BoardStaticMesh"));
   this->SetRootComponent(this->board);
   const int32 sizeColumn = 118.0f;
   FVector boundsColumn = FVector(sizeColumn * 0.02f, sizeColumn * 0.02f, 0.01f);
   for (int32 i = 0; i < 8; ++i) {
     auto emplacedIndex = this->rows.Emplace();
	 auto& row = this->rows[emplacedIndex];
     FVector forwardVector = (FVector::ForwardVector * i - FVector::ForwardVector * 4) * sizeColumn * 2 + FVector::ForwardVector * sizeColumn;
     for (int32 j = 0; j < 8; ++j) {
       FColumnBoard column;
       FVector rightOffset = (FVector::RightVector * j - FVector::RightVector * 4) * sizeColumn * 2 + FVector::RightVector * sizeColumn;
       FString name = TEXT("col_");
       name.AppendInt(i + 1);
       name.AppendInt(j + 1);
       auto col = this->CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(FName(name));
       col->SetupAttachment(this->board);
       col->SetRelativeScale3D(boundsColumn);
       col->SetStaticMesh(this->cube);
       col->SetMaterial(0, this->color);
       col->SetRelativeLocation(rightOffset + forwardVector);
       col->SetVisibleFlag(false);
       column.column = col;
       column.location = rightOffset + forwardVector;
       row.columns.Add(column);
     }
   }

The main thing - in C++ you can suddenly call COPY CONSTRUCTOR and instead of working with object itself, you will work with copied one. So anywhere where can use references to avoid creating of copies

I tried changing the code like this, it didn’t work. In addition, I wrote that the debugger checked the functionality of the code, and the array is filled correctly.

So, if array is filled, the problem is gone?
