Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-13855)

Description

It is possible to rename a Function Output the same as a Local Variable, which causes a compile error:

Error Internal Compiler Error: Tried to create a property TestVar in scope NewFunction_0, but another object of type (null) already already exists there.

Note: Function Inputs already do not allow this rename.

Reproduced in 4.7.5 binary and Main (//depot/UE4/Promotable-CL-2507843)

The user reporting this is getting a crash when hitting compile, instead of a compile error. I was not able to reproduce the crash.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open any project
2. Create a new Actor Blueprint
3. Create a new function
4. Add a local variable of any type, "TestVar"
5. Add an Output
6. Name the Output, "TestVar"
7. Compile

Result:
Error Internal Compiler Error: Tried to create a property TestVar in scope NewFunction_0, but another object of type (null) already already exists there.

Expected:
Outputs do not allow you to name them the same name as a local variable (Input is already like this)
