Enumerators in structs doesn't send Enum value or name

[taiven]

When dumping a simple chat struct I made that happens to have an Enumeration for channels I got this instead of the actual value.

This is the blueprint code

This is my first ever issue on github. :) So feel free to let me know if I completely butchered it.

Issue is great, thanks for spotting the bug. It appears enums do not auto-convert correctly, but there is a way to get string format of an UEnum in C++, so there should be a way to add support for this. I'm unsure if there is an easy way to do the reverse (json->enum field fill).

Marking this as an enhancement. In meantime for a workaround I'd suggest making the field a string field and doing enum->string conversion in blueprint instead.

Merged outgoing workaround for enums in: b911415.

Getting the other way to work requires a lot of re-writes to update
https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/release/Engine/Source/Runtime/JsonUtilities/Private/JsonObjectConverter.cpp#L377 case (~6-8 functions) or ideally would have an engine pull request merged in which based on history takes forever.

Other direction supported in f58c0f0.

This now brings full support for Enums in Structs. Note that when changing the enum value in javascript, the case doesn't matter, e.g. 'Good' enum will correctly fill from a js value of 'good' or 'Good', but if your string doesn't match e.g. a missing letter 'god' it will throw an error in the log and stop the rest of the JSON parse.

Awaiting other fixes before release.
