Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-149182)

Description

Crash occurs when trying to edit a MetaSound Source asset while a MetaSound Source is referenced utilizing FObjectFinder in C++

Repro Rate: 3/3

Fatal error: [File:D:\build\++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\CoreUObject\Private\Templates\Casts.cpp] [Line: 10] 
Cast of nullptr to MetasoundEditorGraph failed

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new Blank CPP project.
Enable the MetaSound Plugin (Edit > Plugins) & restart the editor when prompted.
Create a new Metasound Source named "MS_Test" in the Content directory
Create a new CPP class based on Actor
In 'MyActor.h' add this to the top of the file after #pragma once:
- ```
#include "Metasound.h"
#include "MetasoundSource.h"
```

In 'MyActor.cpp' add this inside of the Constructor for the class after the bCanEverTick gets set:

static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UMetaSoundSource> MS_Bling(TEXT("MetaSoundSource'/Game/MS_Test.MS_Test'"));

Open up {project-name}.Build.cs file located in {projectdir}/Source/{project-name}

Replace the entire PublicDependencyModuleNames line with:

PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "MetasoundEngine" });

Compile & Run the editor
Double-Click to open up the MS_Test MetaSound Source in Content

Results: Editor crashes due to a casting error when opening the MetaSound Source editor.
Expected: User is able to reference the MetaSound Source asset created in the editor utilizing FObjectFinder and is able to edit the MetaSound Source.
