Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-112402)

Description

Adding a Material Layer to a Material Instance that has a Material Function Call node connected to the Set Material Attributes node causes the editor to crash. I tested a Material Layer without the Material Function Call and there was no crash.

Tested in //UE4/Release-4.25 @ CL 14469661 and this did not occur, so marking as a Regression.

Steps to Reproduce

Quick Repro:

Download the project from the following location: [Link Removed]
Right-Click the M_Layer asset
Select Create Material Instance
Open the Material Instance asset
Next to the Details panel, open the Layer Parameters panel
Click the arrow next to Background to expand the settings
Set the Layer Asset as ML_Test

RESULT:

The editor crashes

EXPECTED:

The user would be able to add a Material Layer with a MaterialFunctionCall to a Material Instance without error
