Clear Timer by Function Name does not appear to be callable from a widget blueprint if the function is owned by a UObject

Clear Timer by Function Name does not appear to be callable from a widget blueprint if the function is owned by a UObject. The Timer clears when the custom event is called by other blueprints, however when the same custom event is called by a widget the timer does not clear.
