# "Instanced Objects" in Blueprints {% hint style="success" %} verified: 2025-11-19 version: v39 {% endhint %} If a UObject property is marked as "instanced", then it will allow you to create the subobjects within the defaults of a class, which is useful for making data driven systems and config assets.

The Example Setting is an instanced variable, allowing us to provide a BP Example Skin Setting, and assign its properties' values in-line inside the data asset.

This is a feature that is not exposed to BP in native Unreal, but we have added some helpers to support this. First is the `M2_InstancedObject` class. This is a simple UObject, but defaults to instanced, with inlined properties. This means that if you make a class that is a child of this, you can mark it as "instanced" To mark a `M2_InstancedObject` subclass property, go to the `Details` panel, and expand the `Advanced` section. Check the `Instanced` checkbox, and recompile. You will then be able provide an instanced object in the default value.
{% hint style="warning" %} NOTE: If the `Instanced` property is not visible, it could be that the variable class is not an `M2_InstancedObject` - not all classes can be marked as instanced. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
