From licensee:
A simple example is setup in the project, the relevant part is just this code:
UCLASS(meta = (BlueprintSpawnableComponent)) class TESTBUGEDITORONLYEDITOR_API UEditorOnlyComponent : public UActorComponent { GENERATED_BODY() public: UEditorOnlyComponent() { bIsEditorOnly = true; } #if WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite) AActor* ActorReference; #endif };
If you create a non-editor-only actor with this component and you reference another non-editor-only actor through a editor-only uproperty, Play In Editor will crash if you haven't saved the level first.
Please note that this only happens if you haven't saved these actors. Saving the level first before getting into PIE prevents this crash.
