in the older versions of the Unreal Plugin we were able to set the SEDataRequest PropertyName via Code. Now that i have moved to the latest version of the Plugin the Function is protected Is there a different approach to creating a request from Code ?

You should be creating data requests via the data request manager associated with the engine you are using.  
[https://gitlab.kitware.com/physiology/engine/-/blob/stable/src/cpp/howto/HowTo-EngineUse.cpp?ref\_type=heads#L162](https://gitlab.kitware.com/physiology/engine/-/blob/stable/src/cpp/howto/HowTo-EngineUse.cpp?ref_type=heads#L162)

Since you are in C++, you can just access data directly via the C++ API, but if you want to use a data request, then you can set that up in something like this [ReadyData](https://gitlab.kitware.com/physiology/unreal/-/blob/main/PulsePhysiologyEngine/Source/PulseEngine/Private/ExamplePulseComponent.cpp?ref_type=heads#L86) method and create your own DataReqest BluePrint object ([like this](https://gitlab.kitware.com/physiology/unreal/-/blob/main/PulsePhysiologyEngine/Source/PulseEngine/Public/ExamplePulseComponent.h?ref_type=heads#L12)) you can translate into the CreateDataRequest method in that ReadyData method
