UKismetSystemLibrary::IsEditorPropertyOverridden

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintCallableWITH_EDITOR

Description

Queries whether a named property's value on the given object overrides the value inherited from its archetype (i.e. whether ResetEditorProperty would do anything).

Caveats & Gotchas

• Editor-only: unavailable in packaged/runtime builds.
• Returns EEditorPropertyValueState::NotFound or AccessDenied rather than a simple bool — treat anything other than Overridden/Default as 'unknown', not as 'not overridden'.
• This is a query only; it never modifies the object.

Example

{
    UKismetSystemLibrary::ResetEditorProperty(SelectedActor, TEXT("MaxHealth"));
