Custom Object's object variable structures won't "For every child..." inside the custom object function events

[Sapper-Morton]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

Inside Custom object's events I cannot do for every child Object.myStructure or Object.Variable(myStructure) ... because it is not recoqnized as object variable structure. Should it?

What I can do in the function is directly address a child inside the structure and read it into a scene variable: like this: Object.Variable(myStructure["Test"]). This gives the value of the child variable.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a custom object.
2. Create a structure variable for the custom object.
3. Create Custom object extension function in which you do: For each child the object variable
4. does not work.

Would you be able to share a project and screenshots of the events to illustrate this issue?

These are custom object's object variables. Im using the Taistelutaidot_prefilled for this example:

If I do:

I should get atleast child names of the structure?

The editor says this when I try to access the variable:

I've tried both Object.Taistelutaidot_prefilled and Object.Variable(Taistelutaidot_prefilled).

in further investigation; the extension doesn't "see" Object's variables at all. They can be accessed individually but the editor doesn't help with autofill. So user is kind of blind using the Object's variables inside custom object extension.

Even in the scene events, object variables can’t be used in "For every child variable". It’s not specific to custom objects.

You can use variables declared on the child-objects or properties declared on the parent Object.

I've used JSON to move structures to custom object extensions but it would be cool if object variables had that For every child variable" -ability too. :)
