Dataprep - Datasmith Import issue: Cannot find Static Mesh for Static mesh Actor

Hello! We are using the new 4.27 SolidWorks datasmith exporter to generate a datasmith file to be used with Dataprep to import a very large SolidWorks file (we need to use dataprep, so importing the SLDASM files directly to the engine is not an option). Each time I attempt to import to dataprep, I get errors on every single mesh:

Cannot find Static Mesh [name-of-mesh] for Static Mesh Actor.

The hierarchy is all there but all the static meshes are empty, nothing is actually imported.

I know the SolidWorks datasmith exporter is still brand new and still experimental, but does anyone have any clues or suggestions to this? I’ve found multiple similar answerhub posts with no answers/solutions. Thanks!!

EDIT: One possible cause seems to be special characters in the part names, like tilde ~, comma, etc. Still investigating.
