When exporting Foliage instances to FBX the FBX will not contain any of the foliage instances, but will include any other static or movable geometry.
This is a regression. This worked in 4.11.2 but no longer works in 4.12.5, 4.13 Preview 1, or Dev-Main 4.14.

1. Open UE4
2. Paint any Foliage
3. Select the Foliage instances and go to File > Export All/Selected

Results: Foliage instances are not included in the FBX.
Expected: Foliage instance can be exported to FBX
Regression: Yes
