Description

When the "Is Variable" box is unchecked for a BP-typed child widget, a variable will not be created at Blueprint compile time to reference the child widget in the nativized widget BP class. This breaks dependency analysis during nativization at cook time, as the child widget class will no longer be seen as a load dependency.

Current suggested workaround is to ensure that the "Is Variable" box is checked for any child widget that is of a Blueprint type, if Blueprint nativization is enabled for the cooked build.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open the sample project attached to the support thread in UE4 editor.
  2. Choose File->Package Project->Windows->Win64, choose a location and wait for packaging to finish.
  3. Attempt to launch the packaged EXE. Note that an error will result at runtime:
    LogClass: Error: CDO is created for a dynamic class, before the class was constructed. /Game/Hud/BP_ChildWidget.BP_ChildWidget_C
