UKismetTextLibrary::EditTextPropertySourceString
#include "Kismet/KismetTextLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintCallable
Description
Same as EditTextSourceString, but looks the property up by name on TextOwner instead of taking a direct reference to it.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Same 'ADVANCED, editor/localization-gathering environments only' caveat from the header applies here as well.
- • Fails (returns false) if PropertyName doesn't resolve to an FTextProperty on TextOwner — a typo'd property name is a silent no-op, not an error.
- • Unlike the ref-based overload, this one isn't CustomThunk — it resolves the property via reflection at call time, which is slightly slower for repeated calls in a loop.
