Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-73430)

Description

When updating a widget's settings, those changes will not be reflected in the defaults of any instances where that widget has been used.

Steps to Reproduce

Download the attached project
Open the project
Open "ChildWidget"
Open "ParentWidget"
Click the root of child widget
Set Is focusable to false
In ParentWidget select "ChildWidget" (that has been added to the designer tab)

Result: The change has not been updated in the "childwidget" instance that resides in "parentwidget"

Expected: The change to "ChildWidget" would be reflected in the designer tab of any other widget that is using "ChildWidget" as long as the default has not been changed
