Hello,
I seems to have hit a bug that will not allow the Isograms and such (they’re not doing anything in UE) added after updating the newest UE4.25 to function. However, the irony here is, I’m only using 4.22 for BullCow.
I have added the coding below for both cpp and header file, as well as a screenshot of what I think might be the problem, but I don’t see a way to fix it.
Hopefully, I’m posting the code correctly…

Below, it states the error for c_cpp_properties.json is:

Any help is appreciated.
