A crash occurs when diffing a blueprint that contains an array that has changed from an Object Reference to a Soft Object Reference.
Note: I figured that this could be related to another bug that I entered, [Link Removed], but I tested this in a CL past the fix CL for that one in 4.18 Release and the issue still occurred.
Regression?: No
This was also tested in 4.16 and did not occur, but the test was not the same as the option for a Soft Object Reference array does not exist, only an Asset ID array. This is why this is not labeled as a regression.
