Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-113590)

Description

When adding a Material Layer, that has a Static Component Mask Parameter node in it, to a Material Instance, the editor will crash.

The ability to set Material Attribute layers in a Material Instance is not available in 4.25.4, so not marking as a Regression.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new material
Set the Material to use Material Attributes
Add a Material Attribute Layers node
In the Content Browser, right-click the new material you created
Select Create Material Instance
Right-click in the Content Browser
Navigate to Materials & Textures > Material Layers to create a new Material Layer asset
Open the Material Layer asset
Add a Static Component Mask Parameter node
Open the Material Instance you created
In the Layer Parameters, set the Layer Asset to the Material Layer you created

RESULT:

The engine crashes

EXPECTED:

The user would be able to use a Static Component Mask Parameter node in a Material Layer without crashing
