Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-150412)

Description

when trying to replace a Material Function instance, with another instance, as the base color of a material within the Material Graph, the editor crashes with the following error:

Assertion failed: TextureReferenceIndex != INDEX_NONE [File:D:\build\++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\Materials\HLSLMaterialTranslator.cpp] [Line: 6654] Material expression called Compiler->TextureParameter() without implementing UMaterialExpression::GetReferencedTexture properly

Steps to Reproduce

Create Blank Blueprint project with starter content
Create a material called M_Mat
- Right click in Content Browser>material
Create a material function called MF_Func
- Right click in Content Browser>Materials>Material Function
Open MF_Func
add a TextureSampleParameter2D to graph
add MakeMaterialAttributes to graph
Connect the TextureSampleParameter2D RGB to the MakeMaterialAttributes BaseColor
Connect the MakeMaterialAttributes output into the OutputResult node
Save MF_Func and close
Create an instance of MF_Func called MF_Func_Inst
- Right click MF_Func>Create Function Instance
Open MF_Func_Inst
In Details Check the Param Checkbox and select T_Brick_Clay_Beveled_D for the texture
Apply, Save & close MF_Func_Inst
Create a second instance of MF_Func called MF_Func_Inst1
# Open MF_Func_Inst1
In Details Check the Param Checkbox and select T_Brick_Clay_New_D for the texture
Apply, Save & close MF_Func_Inst1
Open M_Mat
Drag and drop MF_Func_Inst into the M_Mat graph
add BreakMaterialAttributes to graph
Connect MF_Func_Inst to the BreakMaterialAttributes Attr
Connect that BreakMaterialAttributes BaseColor to the M_Mat BaseColor
Drag and drop MF_Func_Inst1 into the M_Mat graph
add BreakMaterialAttributes to graph
Connect MF_Func_Inst1 to the new BreakMaterialAttributes Attr
Connect that BreakMaterialAttributes BaseColor to the M_Mat BaseColor

*Expected Result: *The M_Mat Base Color will be disconnected from MF_Func_Inst BreakMaterialAttributes and now be connected to MF_Func_Inst1 BreakMaterialAttributes

Actual Result: The M_Mat BaseColor is disconnected from MF_Func_Inst and then crashes while trying to connect to MF_Func_Ins1 with following error:

Material expression called Compiler->TextureParameter() without implementing UMaterialExpression::GetReferencedTexture properly
