References to recompiled Blueprint CDOs that exist outside of the immediate class hierarchy are not being replaced during compilation.

Currently, the Blueprint compiler will only update references to a reinstanced CDO/archetype object if it falls within the immediate hierarchy of the Blueprint class type OR if it's a component template or ChildActorComponent actor template. This is done as an optimization.

For example, if a Blueprint instance happens to cache a reference to an unrelated CDO, these references will not currently be replaced if the target Blueprint is recompiled after it's been cached.

Normally this isn't an issue, but for certain workflows (e.g. the experimental feature that allows selected BPs to be edited during PIE), this can present a problem.

Current suggested workaround is to always query the CDO when needed rather than caching it, if possible.

1. Download/build attached project (4.27).
2. In Project Settings/Editor/Blueprint Project Settings/Play, add "SubThingy" to "Base Classes to Allow Recompiling During Play in Editor."
3. Open MyLevel.
4. PIE, then open the "SubThingy" BP for edit.
5. In the event graph, change the string value on the PrintString() node.
6. Compile, and a crash will occur, OR
7. type 'ce test' into the console, and a crash will occur.
