Creating External Curve for a function's local struct variable causes editor to crash

Creating External Curve for a function's local struct variable causes editor to crash

Questions & Answers
Description

Defining a FRuntimeFloatCurve inside a code based struct causes the editor to crash if the struct is added as a local variable to a blueprint function and the "Create External Curve" button is pressed.

This crash only occurs if the struct is a local variable of a function.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open UE4 Editor
  2. Add code to project based on Actor (MyActor)
  3. Add the following include to MyActor.h: 
    #include "Runtime/Engine/Classes/Curves/CurveFloat.h"
  4. Add the following struct to MyActor.h between include statements and UCLASS() macro: 
    USTRUCT(BlueprintType, Blueprintable)
struct MYPROJECT11_API FMyCustomCurve
{
	GENERATED_BODY()
public:
	
		UPROPERTY(config,BlueprintReadWrite, EditAnywhere, meta = (
			DisplayName = "Custom Tween Curve",
			XAxisName = "Alpha", YAxisName = "Value"))
		FRuntimeFloatCurve CustomCurve;
};
  5. Compile
  6. Create Blueprint based on MyActor (MyActorBP)
  7. Create a function inside blueprint
  8. Add local variable to BP function
  9. Set Local Variable type to My Custom Curve
  10. Compile BP
  11. With variable selected, expand Default Value dropdowns and click Create External Curve button

Result:
Editor crashes with the shown callstack

Expected:
Window for "Choose Location for External Curve Asset" opens when button is clicked.
