Unreal Engine 5.5.3 hotfix has been released.

The update is available now on the Epic Games launcher and GitHub. This hotfix is small but critical if you are running Unreal Engine 5.5.2. According to Epic, it "resolves a critical bug where Blueprint-added Skeletal Mesh Components on Actors in the world could lose overridden Skeletal Mesh Asset property values when updating from 5.5.2."
