Description

When a UObject blueprint is compiled, other blueprints with an Instanced variable of that type will show as REINST and will not recognize the original blueprint data.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open UE4 Editor (any project)
  2. Add code to project based on UObject (MyObject) and AActor (MyActor)
  3. Add the following specifiers to UMyObject UCLASS macro
    • Blueprintable, BlueprintType, EditInlineNew
  4. Add include statement for MyObject.h to MyActor.h include list
  5. Add the following to AMyActor class declaration:
    UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, EditAnywhere, Instanced)
    		UMyObject* MyObjectPtr;
    
  6. Compile
  7. Create blueprint for each class (MyObjBP & MyActorBP)
  8. Open MyActorBP and set MyObjectPtr reference to MyObjBP
  9. Open MyObjBP and compile

Result:
In MyActorBP MyObjectPtr now shows as "REINST MyObjBP C ###"

Expected:
MyObjectPtr holds reference to MyObjBP after the blueprint is compiled.
