UDataTableFunctionLibrary::GetDataTableColumnNameFromExportName

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/DataTableFunctionLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintCallable

Description

Looks up the raw property name of a column given its friendly export name, returning whether a match was found.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns false and leaves OutColumnName unset if no column matches ColumnExportName.
• The OutColumnName it produces is what GetDataTableColumnAsString expects — the export name itself won't work there.
