Dialog Helpers

With Blutilities we are now able to create powerful editor tools right in blueprints, harnessing blueprint function libraries to create execution flows to solve editor problems. Being able to bring up dialogs to report errors or request user input extends Blutilities in a positive way. Here are a couple of examples of what you can expect from these functions.
