I have tried to reproduce this issue but my blueprint works fine. It should be very similar to yours. Would you check the nodes again?

The log outputs seems to be correct:

LogBlueprintUserMessages:[Test_C_1] FighterDude-- 3D8620DCD494E693--Blue Warrior
LogBlueprintUserMessages:[Test_C_1] FighterDude2-- B1535F8763931012--AAAAAA
LogBlueprintUserMessages:[Test_C_1] FighterDude2-- D784CA9010147E47—AAAAAA

Sure. Please check Get Character Test > BlueprintUE.com | PasteBin For Unreal Engine 4. I have changed to Server API.

Meanwhile, even though we don't add any Print node, the PlayFab UE4 SDK will generate the full callback content in the log, which will be like:

LogPlayFab: Response : {"code":200,"status":"OK","data":{"Characters":[{"CharacterId":"3D8620DCD494E693","CharacterName":"FighterDude","CharacterType":"Blue Warrior"},{"CharacterId":"B1535F8763931012","CharacterName":"FighterDude2","CharacterType":"AAAAAA"},{"CharacterId":"D784CA9010147E47","CharacterName":"FighterDude2","CharacterType":"AAAAAA"}]}}<br>

Please double-check that you can see this log and make sure the player has the characters.

hey thanks i was using "number fields" instead "string fields" now its ok!

thanky!!

Also can you tell me why the error says:
"Kills" is not a valid statistic name?
What is the good way to set the statistic name and the value what I want to update for the selected character?

thanks!

"Kills" should work fine, and there is no straightforward invalid name for statistics. Any returned error messages for my reference?

Please refer to Server update Character Sta > BlueprintUE.com | PasteBin For Unreal Engine 4.

The corresponding error means the request is not defined properly. The best way to debugging this issue is to check the official documentation and understand the types that defined in request node by SDK. Update Character Statistics API is using an Object instead of an array, hence you will need to construct an Object, which contains KVPs (also in the form of PlayFab JSON Object).
