Why is the Mesh menu empty?

Question

I am new to unreal and am facing a weird problem. I would like to insert a mesh on my character but the mesh menu is completely empty. Below is the image of how it looks.

As you can see, this blueprint class is derived from a class named 'MainCharacter'. Here is the relevant code snippet.

Implementation (c++) file

FPSMesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<USkeletalMeshComponent>(TEXT("Mesh"));
FPSMesh->SetupAttachment(FPSCameraComponent);

Header file

UPROPERTY(VisibleDefaultsOnly, Category = Mesh)
USkeletalMeshComponent *FPSMesh;

The problem started when I switched the USkeletalMeshComponent to a UStaticMeshComponent. I started getting an empty mesh screen. I switched it back to a USkeletalMeshComponent and I am still getting this empty menu.

Any Tips?

Deleting the Blueprint and recreating it worked. No idea why.
