UE Tip: Subcategories

You can establish subcategories for Blueprint functions, macros, and variables by placing a vertical bar, |, in between category names. You can have as many sub-subcategories as you require.

This is very helpful in further organizing your Blueprint, both in the My Blueprint panel and the Details panel.

How do I create subcategories in Blueprints?

Select the variable, function, or macro and type the full path into its Category field in the Details panel. For example, Inventory|Equipment|Weapons creates a Weapons category inside Equipment, inside Inventory.

How do I create subcategories in C++?

The Category specifier uses the same syntax.

.h

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Inventory|Equipment")
TObjectPtr<UItemBase> EquippedItem;
 
UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "Inventory|Modifier")
void AddItemToInventory(UItemBase* ItemToAdd);
