Row Rename Surgeon - UE5 plugin

An Unreal Engine 5 plugin from Core Systems Asset Factory. Made with Unreal Engine. Paid.

Row Rename Surgeon - UE5 plugin is an Unreal Engine 5 plugin for Unreal Engine, paid.

Its title or description names Unreal Engine 5.

Rename a row. Watch everything that used it quietly stop working. Unreal renames a DataTable row by re-keying the table and doing nothing else. Every FDataTableRowHandle, every FCurveTableRowHandle, every Blueprint Get Data Table Row node with a row name typed into it keeps the old name, and from that moment resolves to nothing. Nothing warns you.

The engine's entire response to a row disappearing from under a Blueprint node is to mark that Blueprint dirty and leave the dead name in place. You find out in a playtest, weeks later, when a chest is empty. This renames the row and rewrites every reference to it.

It asks the asset registry which packages reference the table, loads only those, and finds every place the row is named: row handle properties at any depth, including inside arrays, sets, maps and nested structs; Blueprint pins whose default is a row-handle literal; the RowName pin of any Blueprint node that also points at that table, which covers Get Data Table Row and every function call taking a table and a row name.

That third one is the one nothing else can do for you.
