Unable to play widget animation

I’m trying to play a widget animation for a description widget attached to an actor.
The thing is, it used to work! See this video: 2021-01-25 21-36-11-1_ItemDescription.m4v - Google Drive

However, I’ve made quite some progress with other aspects of the game, and the animation stopped working.
I don’t feel like the other aspects of the game could have broken this feature, as you’ll see, it’s pretty basic.
I’m wondering if it’s because I’ve upgraded from 2.25 to 2.26.

Here is the blueprint on the actor:

As I mentioned, everything works, except the animation:

Google Drive file.

I tried creating the widget on the player controller to show it directly on screen, and play the animation, and the animation worked.
However, when using the play animation:
I tried creating another animation, and replace the original one, still no animation.
I added a print string after the “Play animation”, I saw the text.
I replaced the play animation with finished event, and wire the print string on complete, I didn’t see the text.

So in summary, I’m unable to get the animation as it used to work, but I’m still able to play the animation from something else than the widget in the blueprint… I really have no clue!
