Description

Curl noise force will not affect a Niagara particle regardless of strength.

Current work around is to disable then re-enable "apply forces" under "solve forces and velocity"

Found in 4.20 CL# 4233996 and 4.21 CL# 4234136

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open the editor
  2. Go to plugins and enable Niagara in the FX category 
  3. Restart the editor
  4. Create a Niagara emitter and open it
  5. Delete the acceleration and add velocity modules
  6. Add "Curl Noise Force" to the particle update section and click "Fix Now"
  7. Set its strength to any value

Results:
The curl noise force will not be applied to the particle

Expected:
The curl noise force would be applied
