is there already a way to do this? Say I have where my player start normally should be on a given level, but I want to test another area so I place a player start there, have it selected, but If i hit play there's a 1 in 40 chance I'll get the player to start where I wanted because PIE play doesn't cycle through the 7 player starts I have or even start me at the one I have selected, it'll just randomly select one. So if I have 7 player starts it wont even cycle through each one, it'll randomly select one.

If I understand what you want.... The 'Play' menu has an option to let you use the current camera position to spawn. So using that in conjunction with 'Camera Bookmarks' (1-0) will let cycle through spawn points quickly (manually).is there already a way to do this?
If interested, look in the top level Editor toolbar, and hit the down arrow to bring up the dropdown menu for Play (the Play button drop-down is same top level toolbar as Marketplace / Settings / Blueprints / Cinematics / Build / Play / Launch in the editor etc).
In the Play dropdown there's 2 options Spawn Player at 'Current Camera Location' or 'Default Player Start'. You can use Camera Bookmarks to keep 10 locations handy. To set the Camera Bookmarks, click the down-arrow in the level Viewport, then click on the Bookmarks sub-menu. If you need more than 10, there's a marketplace plugin...----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this solution works for me cant believe I hadn't noticed it before. Still think having a specific player start selected to spawn from when hitting play would be a good idea, but this is sufficient for me.
