uv mapping BP UV Edit - UV Commands Greyed Out

[Random Studio 1]

No matter what I try I can't seem to stop the UV commands in the BP UV Edit Layout from being greyed out. I have an editable object, with a UV Tag, I've followed every instruction I can find on the other forum posts about similar problems but to no avail. I've attached the file in question, if anyone could help I would be extremely grateful!

The UV tag you have on that is broken. Don't know how it got like that, but you should delete it.

Now apply a material to that object, and set its mapping to Flat, align it as you want (Fit to Object).

NOW go to BP UV edit, r-click the material tag, and choose Generate UV coordinates. Then you will have a tag that works, and your controls back, like so...

Really sorry to hassle, I jumped the gun a bit on celebrating, I followed your instructions but my commands are still greyed out...

That is working, but you do need to be in a component mode to access the UVs, not Object Mode as you are in the file. Switch to either Poly Mode or UV Poly mode to change the mapping, and see the controls.
