Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-115658)

Description

It seems that the crash is related to all of the "Write" events. I tested the Event ChaosDestruction Write, Event Float Write, and Event Bool Write and all 3 caused the crash, but their "Read" counterparts did not cause a crash.

Creating an empty Niagara System and adding these doesn't cause a crash, so this only occurs when there is an emitter in the System.

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

Steps to Reproduce

Open a new project
Create a new Niagara System with a Dynamic Beam emitter
Add a Scratch Pad Module to System Update
In the Scratch Pad graph, add an Event Bool Write node
Connect the node to the InputMap and MapSet nodes
Press the Apply button

RESULT:

The engine crashes

EXPECTED:

The user would be able to add the Event Bool Write node without crashing
