Remarks

Returns the unlocalized logical name originally assigned to the enum at creation. By default this is the same as the short name but it is overridden in child classes with different internal name storage. This name is consistent in cooked and editor builds and is useful for things like external data import/export.

Returns

The author-specified name, or an empty string if Index is invalid

Parameters

Parameter	Description
InIndex	Index of the enum value to get Display Name for
