Unable to pass TMap or TSet as a parameter for a UFUNCTION

Unable to pass TMap or TSet as a parameter for a UFUNCTION

Questions & Answers
Description

Attempting to pass a TMap or TSet into a UFUNCTION as a parameter causes a compilation error. Removing the UFUNCTION declaration works.

Regression?: No
This also occurred in 4.14

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a new C++ project
  2. Add a new class based off of Actor
  3. In the .h, add the following code on line #25 and compile the project 
     UFUNCTION()
void TestFunction(TMap<FName, FString>& Test) {}

    Result: The compilation fails with the errors listed in the description
    Expected: The compilation succeeds
